Answer:

The principle of Constitutionalism.

Explanation:

The English Bill of Rights, 1689 was a series of acts signed by William III and Mary II into law after King James II was overthrown from the crown. The Bill established a constitutional monarchy in England where the king and queen ruled under the aegis of the parliament.

The above quote represents the principle of Constitutionalism as it presents the idea that final authority should be in the hands of the citizens. No person, regardless of possession or power, could be above the law and constitution.

In this case, the king or queen shall have limited powers and would only have nominal powers. It states that no power or authority can be imposed without the consent of the parliament. Thus, making the constitution most powerful entity in the country.

New roads and canals were needed so the country could develop, Madison knew that. But he believed that the Congress did not have the authority to build them, so he defended that the Constitution should be amended so the federal government was authorized to build them.

Congress did not agree with that and did not amend the Constitution, instead, they passed the Bonus Bill, that was vetoed by Madison exactly because he believed that the federal government did not have the power to carry the execution of those powers.

In two words or less, define and describe the Southern reaction to the Civil Rights act of 1964
seraphim [82]

Adjustment and Compliance

Explanation:

The response of the South to the civil rights act can be said to be of compliance. The leaders who were vocal opposers of discrimination subsided into acceptance of the law. The act reflected a period of adjustment from the South in response to the act.

Miniscule rioting and violence were observed and some businessmen and politicians could hold up the courage to display some sort of resistance. The ban called out in support of excluding blacks was greatest in the “rim states” which included parts of modern-day Virginia, Texas, North Carolina and Florida.
