History

King used a financial metaphor to refer to the lack of compliance with the civil rights that the Declaration of Independence and the Reconstruction Amendments to the US Constitution (14th and 15th) included for all US citizens, without discrimination in terms of race.

King aimed to express that the US still owed, to its black citizens, the defaulted "promissory note" that Martin Luther King Jr. had mentioned and demanded in his remarkable "I have a Dream" speech, delivered in 1963. Instead of guaranteeing the promised rights of life, of freedom, and of the pursuit of happiness, black people had received a black check, one with no funds on it and were still waiting for the payment of such debt.

Answer and Explanation:

By the above statement, King was metaphorically addressing the noncompliance of the government with the civil rights as stated in the US Constitution for all US citizens as stated in the (14th and 15th) Declaration of Independence and the Reconstruction Amendments which was without race discrimination as at when declared.

King was trying to argue that the US owed its black citizens because it has not kept the promises made to the general American people because it has failed to guarantee the rights of life, right of freedom, and right of the pursuit of happiness.

Instead, the black community had been given a blank check and are left unattended to.

aliina [53]
It helped because it eased transportation now it was possible to go to the other side of the county in shorter mount of time also farmers at the time started using it to transport their crops and make more money for example I live in Florida so here we grow lots of oranges here it would probably cost me a dollar but if I take it to another state that does not grow oranges Ill charge more 

hope this helps :)  <span />

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!!<br> THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!

Your first instinct is probably to choose the free response essay. If you did, you would not be correct. A free response starts out with you making an opinion statement, but you have to be able to back it up, and your reasons ought to be logical.

DBQ you be your next guess, because the letters aren't well known and maybe it doesn't require any back up. Unfortunately it does. DBQ stands for Document Based Questions. That means you have to check things very carefully.

Globally Thinking Essay requires that you pick a global issue that you could apply to something local.

A process essay is what its name suggests. You are writing a procedure to do something. I don't think you need any backup material for this. You just have to give the right steps to do something. A document won't help you.

In my day this would not depend on any background notations if you were good enough. Simply writing an interpretation would be good enough. I don't think that's true now.

These terms are all knew to me but I would go with the process essay. It is cut and dried and I don't think it requires documentation, not at the level I'm thinking of. A scholarly paper might require great care in the directions for the procedure.

I'd pick D.

Two

A thesis statement should start out to be very general and then it should be confined in some way. Statements E (especially), D, C and B are too specific to start with. The true statement and general one is likely A.

Three

The definition of Histiography is the study of the way history is written. The first thing you say about any study should be what and not how. What is histiography? is the first thing you have to deal with. Top Down and Bottom up are methods of looking at history. Both are valid depending on what you are writing about. As usual I don't think any of them are really a choice or they all are. A is your best choice in my mind, but that's a poor choice of a bad lot.

The problem with the answers is that they suggest change. That's not what Histiography is is about. It is just the study of how history is written. For example Top Down is about the leaders who have created history and bottom up is how people have lived under that rule. There is no mention of one being superior to another or that we need to revise anything.

sveta [45]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to mention or attach the lenses that you refer to in the question. However, we can answer is general terms.

When we talk about the term "lens" in research, we are referring to a specific perspective to examine the topic at hand or the study. We can use philosophical lenses, economic, organizational, social, or psychological theories.

So we do not what lens you chose, but whatever your choice was, this lens might change how you approach researching your topic, thus affecting the historical narrative, because that particular approach is going to offer you different sources, authors, perspectives, and research lines to be followed. Your historic narrative would suffer modifications because you will have so many approaches to include in your research.
