Answer;

The congress responded to the black codes in the following ways;

-Congress refused to seat the Southern representatives

-Congress overrode President Johnson and passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866

-A Joint Committee on Reconstruction was established to investigate the situation in the South and reported that the Southern states were in a state of civil disorder, and had therefore not held valid elections.

-The Fourteenth Amendment was passed by Congress

-A follow-up Freedmen's Bureau Bill was passed by Congress giving additional rights to ex-slaves

-Reconstruction Acts were passed over President Johnson's veto "...to provide for the more efficient government of the Rebel States"

Explanation;

The Black Codes were a series of statutes and laws enacted in 1865 and 1866 by the legislatures of the Southern states following the end of the Civil War at the beginning of the Reconstruction Era. Public laws that economized restricted minorities' civil rights

Do you think it is a good idea that supreme court justices are appointed for life? Explain your answer
Harman [31]
Part of the debate over rights in the 18th century involved the prerogative of kings to remove and appoint judges upon their ascension to the throne. Liberal thinkers believed that lifetime appointments would scale back the power of the king, and therefore represented social progress. If a judge was sure of his seat, he could vote according to his own judgment, despite the wishes of the king. The Whigs in Britain actually won this right, though whether it really served their cause or their government is anyone's guess.
