A constituent is a person who authorizes another to act in his or her behalf, as a voter in a district represented by an elected official.

Advocacy is the backing, or promotion of something or someone; public support for or recommendation of a particular cause or policy.

The growth of the federal government began with the Presidency of Franklin Roosevelt. To help combat the Great Depression, Roosevelt developed his "New Deal Plan" that widened government jobs and updated existing ones. The United States emerging as a military power after World War II also had an effect on the federal government. The government widening has had an effect on how government officials gain constituent support on this new wide variety of leaders through not only phone calls, in person meetings, and letters, but also through technology such as paid radio and television advertisements, news-broadcasts and press conferences, email, and social media. Through technological advances, federal government growth has the power to reach wider audiences.

Which statement summarizes this passage from the Brown v. Board of Education decision?

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

2) “Separate but unequal” schools are unconstitutional.

Explanation:

This is a statement from the outcome of the historical <em>Brown v. Board of Education</em> lawsuit, which basically stated that "separate but equal" schools and facilities are unconstitutional.

From the passage, we can extract the words "the doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no place...Therefore, we hold that the plaintiffs . . . are . . . deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment".

Essentially, this is saying that "separate but equal" is not actually equal, which means that the people (Brown) who sued the education district (Board of Education) were not awarded their full rights granted by the 14th Amendment - and that is unconstitutional.

do you think suffrage was so important to many American women? What were the consequences for women of not gaining the right to

Degger [83]

Not every woman hungered for the vote. Some did, but most were likely indifferent. Once they got the vote, they were taken much more seriously and politicians had to campaign to solicit the "female" vote. This is a study all of its own. The greatest slave class throughout history has always been women.
