In the CCC ( Civilian Conservation Corps), Roosevelt's position on the role of African Americans was:

D. He disagreed with Harold Ickes about their ability to take on supervisory roles.

The main goal of the programme was to conserve the country’s natural resources while providing jobs for young men. African American men played a major role in the CCC in North Carolina.

The law establishing the CCC contained a provision that “no discrimination shall be made on account of race, color or creed.” Yet despite instructions, CCC administrators in many states refused to select a proportionate share of blacks. By 1935, African American participation in the CCC did reach 10%.

In addition to the imbalance of labor opportunities, few African-American could climb the ranks within the CCC's administrative hierarchy. In a letter , Ickes rejects the CCC director's low opinion of African-Americans in supervisory positions:

"<em>I have your letter of September 24 in which you express doubt as to the advisability of appointing Negro supervisory personnel in Negro CCC camps. For my part, I am quite certain that Negroes can function in supervisory capacities just as efficiently as can white men and I do not think that they should be discriminated against merely on account of their color. I can see no menace to the program that you are so efficiently carrying out in giving just and proper recognition to members of the Negro race."</em>

Although Ickes supported the initiative, the placement of African-Americans in administrative positions gained little traction.

Answer:D)Industrialization happened nearly simultaneously in most areas of the world in the 18th century .

Explanation:

This statement is incorrect. The industrial revolution did not go smoothly. It primarily occurred in England and the United States and then spread to Europe. Of the other European countries except for Great Britain, the Industrial Revolution initially developed in the German countries, France, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Some countries were very late in involving industrial flows due to economic reasons and the lack of skilled labor. That was the case in Europe with some Balkan countries, but also with most third world countries

which amenements is being violated suppor woth evidence, Sandra, a nineteen year old college student, is arrested for stealinga

AURORKA [14]

According to the sixth Amendment: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence."

Sandra was arrested and charged. This is thus a criminal prosecution and the Sixth Amendment is clear, she has the right ot representation and the judge's actions are unconstitutional. The case Gideon v. Wainwright is a good example. This case involved a homeless man in Florida who was accused of burglary. His judge denied him the right of legal representation and the man had to represent himself. He was found guilty but appealed the sentence from his prison cell. The case was taken to the SCOTUS and the ruling was quite clear: State Courts have the legal obligation of respecting the constitutional rights of defendants in all criminal prosecutions. Actually, Clarence Darrow, one of the greatest attorneys in the history of the USA took an attorney when he was accused of a criminal offence. Therefore being "smart enough" is irrelevant; all defendants in all criminal prosecutions have a right to legal representation.
