kykrilka [37]

Answer:

After people were asked not to sit in the seat behind the drivers in honor of Rosa Parks' fight for the Civil Rights movement, some people did actually sit in that seat. Making the assumption that these people were prejudiced or racist is an example of the correspondence bias.

Explanation:

On December 1st, 1955, Rosa Parks was commuting back home by bus, when the driver asked her and three other African Americans to stand up from their seats so that white passengers could seat there. While the three other passengers complied with the driver's order, Rosa Parks denied to do so, which ended up with her arrest, and later on with a social movement that decided to boycott the buses in Montgomery during Rosa Parks' trial. Although most of the people decided to leave the first seat behind the driver empty in honor of Rosa Parks, some of them actually seat on it anyways. Assuming that these people were racists is an example of a correspondence bias. A correspondence bias is the tendency to draw inferences about a person's personality based on a unique and specific observed behavior. There are many circumstances and reasons as to why that people sat on the seat that was meant to be empty that would not make them instantly perceived as racist or prejudiced, but assuming that they are based on that one action would be an example of a correspondence bias.

Kitty [74]
According to the Supremacy Clause of Article 6 in the United States Constitution, if a state law goes against the Constitution, then the state law would be overturned and made null and void. All the laws that are passed by the Federal government would be treated as Supreme law of the land. It is globally accepted in the United States that the Constitution is the ultimate and supreme in regards to the laws of the land. The laws made by the federal Government would be treated as supreme unless it violates the rules laid down by the Constitution of United States. The United Supreme Court has the power to decide if the law is in violation of the Constitution or not.

Why did the student protest at Tiananmen Square of 1989 fail
lilavasa [31]

The student protest at Tiananmen Square of 1989 failed because the government was in chaos.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The death of Hu Yaobang enraged a lot of people, especially the students, leading to a lot of protests. During the initial stages of the protest, the government of China was reluctant to take any action against the rising protests, because the government was in chaos.

Some officials of the government wanted to respond with violence, whereas some voted to respond in a non violent manner. It lead to a lot of confusions, but finally the Hardliners won the debate and responded by imposing martial law on the protesting people in Beijing.

What were the cases of Cherokee Nation v. Georgia and Worchester v. Georgia (tell what happened in each case)? How do the cases
Semenov [28]
<span>By refusing to consider Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831), the Supreme Court denied self-government to a Native American tribe. Prior to 1831, the federal government treated tribes as foreign entities in conducting official interactions with them. In an effort to keep their tribal lands, the Cherokee living within Georgia turned to farming and ranching. They also wrote a constitution and laws reflecting some aspects of U.S. law. The state of Georgia declared all the Cherokee laws void, prompting that nation to appeal to the Supreme Court. Chief Justice John Marshall wrote the opinion dismissing the case, saying that Indian tribes were "domestic dependent nations" and could not turn to the Supreme Court. The case's dismissal allowed Georgia to strip the tribe of its governmental forms. </span>
