Why do some people prefer ratifying conventions, rather than state legislatures, for the ratification of amendments?

History

EleoNora [17]3 years ago

People believe that conventions created specifically for the ratification of amendments form better representations of the people's will. State legislatures can oftentimes be biased for or against a certain amendment for their own wellbeing rather than that of the people they represent.

One major historical example of this can be seen in the use of ratification committees for the ratification of the American Constitution; the Founding Fathers believed that certain state legislatures would not ratify the Constitution even if the citizens of the states wanted to, so special conventions were created to more accurately portray the will of the people.

What authority was given to the postmaster general under the Espionage and Sedition Acts?
Elodia [21]

Correct answer choice is :


<h2>D) To hold any mail that violated the acts</h2><h2 /><h3>Explanation:</h3><h3 />

The idea of the Espionage Act was to prevent interruption with military operations, to forbid support of U.S. enemies during wartime or to encourage rebellion in the military. The Espionage Act gave US mail officials the power to forbid the mailing of newspapers and magazines. The law also frightened individuals condemned of preventing the draft with $10,000 fines and 20 years in jail. The U.S. Congress revised the Espionage law with the Sedition Act of 1918. Its objective was to make it illegal to write or speak anything significant of American engagement in the war. The Sedition Act of 1918 made it a federal crime to use unfaithful, temporal, obscene, or abusive language about the Constitution, the government, the American outfit, or the US flag.

Why did some Southerners support Republican Reforms?
MrRa [10]
After the end of the Civil war, the Republican party was left unchallenged in its authority over the country. It then started the process of Reconstruction of the South. This was faced by vehement opposition from the majority in the South that had supported the Confederate course. Those that supported these reforms were those that had been marginalized in the slavery system in the South. Others that supported the reforms projected to benefit from economic opportunities created by carpetbaggers looking to assert their authority in the south.
