History

To a large extent, this statement is true. The 1920s was a period in history in which extravagant lifestyles were the norm for the wealthy. People began to engage in mass consumption and consumerism. This led to overspending and to luxurious lifestyles, as the country experienced an economic boom.

This also led to people wanting to become rich quickly by speculating in the stock market. The financial decisions made during this era eventually led to the Wall Street Stock Crash of 1929, which led to the Great Depression of the 1930s.

During the Great Depression, many people lost their jobs, millions became poor and many others relocated to cities to look for work. The Great Depression led to the passage of several acts that promoted social welfare, which were collectively known as the "New Deal."

Identify and describe three codes of laws or other legal documents that have influenced modern democracy
balandron [24]

Magna Carta

Written in 1215, it is one of the most important documents in the development of democracy. It limited the power of the king of England and established the idea that people have rights.

The Great Binding Law

Written by the Iroquois, a Native American tribe, between 1300 and 1450, it said that all Iroquois could participate in government, that government existed to serve the people, not vice versa, and it created a legislative body similar to Congress with two separate groups just as Congress has the House of Representatives and the Senate.

The Mayflower Compact

Written in 1620 by the Pilgrims when they arrived off the coast of what is now Massachusetts. The Pilgrims were English citizens who left England because they were not free to practice their religion in England. They had planned to join up with some other English colonists in Virginia, but their ship was blown off course. They realized they needed to form their own government, so they wrote the Mayflower Compact in which they made their own laws. It is an early attempt at self-government.

The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut

Written in 1639, it created a civil charter, or written code of laws, for settlers in Connecticut. It never mentioned the king or any other government and extended voting rights to anyone who owned land. It may be the first constitution ever written that established a government.

The English Bill of Rights

Written in 1689, it stated that the monarch of England served at the will of Parliament. It helped make England a constitutional monarchy and strengthened the rights of the people. (Note that this is the English Bill of Rights and not the American Bill of Rights which are part of the U.S. Constitution.)

Virginia Declaration of Rights

Written in 1776, it outlined the rights of the people of Virginia and set out the plan for its government. Thomas Jefferson used many of these same ideas in the Declaration of Independence.

The Declaration of Independence

Written in 1776, mostly by Thomas Jefferson, it outlines the grievances (complaints) the American colonists had with the king of England and the English parliament, and put forth the idea that people had natural and legal rights.

If you were a member of Congress how would you have treated the South after the Civil War? Would you have had different plans li
SIZIF [17.4K]
I would most possibly do the same thing, or take the south back to US as brothers, but I might also add a little punishment. The punishment would be limited import for a period of years (1, or 5). I would also not allow them to vote or participate in any political meeting, congressional decisions, etc.

Hope this helps, you might have a different opinion however, but as I think, it would be better to punish them for
1. Not obeying the rules (still having slavery)
2. Electing a secondary president.
3. Helping the war happen.
4. Trying to become independent from the rest of US.
