Congress played a significant role in expanding rights to marginalized Americans during the 20th century. Here are a few examples.
1) 19th amendment- This constitutional amendment gave women in the United States the right to vote.
2) Civil Rights Act 1964- This law ended segregation in public places. This included movie theaters, restaurants, parks, etc.
3) Voting Rights Act of 1965- This law got rid of poll taxes, grandfather clauses, and literacy tests. During the late 19th and early 20th century, all of these were used as a means to prevent African-American citizens from voting. Thanks to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, all of these types of obstacles to stop African-Americans from voting were now illegal.
This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.
Based on 'Marat addressing the people', the painting by Louis-Leopold Boilly, describe the scene around him. Account for his great popularity.
What kinds of reactions would a painting like this produce among viewers in the Salon?
Answer:
In this painting, Jean-Paul Marat is shown speaking to a huge congregation of people.
His newspaper, L´Ami du Peuple (The friend of the
people), as many others at the time, spread the political philosophers´ ideas about liberty and justice, previously only attainable by educated people, among the common people. That´s why he was so popular and his speeches attracted massive groups of people.
Explanation:
The Salon was an official french art exhibition sponsored by the French government, destined to the nobility´s social gatherings, but also where critiques of the Ancien Régime and revolutionary ideas were discussed.
A painting depicting the massive spread of liberal ideas would have been upsetting for the nobility in favor of the Ancien Régime, and a hopeful call to those interested in revolutionary ideas.
if the nation in question is America then the reason why our society has much more to offer than other society is because American society has the largest diversity than any other nation.
hope this helps!
