Answer:
<h3>To act casual like nothing has happened.</h3>
Explanation:
In 'The Tell-Tale Heart', the narrator seat himself and the police officers in the room where the body is buried to indicate that nothing has happened and to avoid any suspicion from the officers.
When the police got called by his neighbor, the narrator hid the remains of the dead man beneath the floorboards and placed a chair above the dead man. The narrator says that he did that in order to avoid any suspicion when the police arrived. He sat on the chair and had a casual talk with the officers because he was sure that he won't get caught.
Prior to the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, The Bill of Rights ( the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution) only applied to the Federal government. This meant that states were not obliged to adopt the Amendments and the laws that came as a result of them.
After the Civil War ended, the Fourteenth Amendment was created and ratified, the Bill of Rights was now applicable not only to federal courts but also to state ones. This meant that citizens were now more protected, as federal and states obligations are the same in most cases.
