Answer:    How to safeguard against tyranny by dividing the government's power among different parts

Explanation:  The Roman Republic was known for its famous Roman law, which today is a model for many legal systems in modern democracies. In order for democracy and equal rights of citizens to be safeguarded from the tyranny and will of individuals, the separation of powers into different branches, which are independent of one another, was carried out. In doing so, each of the branches of government has certain competencies and the power to refute the decisions of the other branches if this is not in accordance with the law.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The correct answer is:

A response to A Call for Unity, the statement by eight white Alabama clergymen against King and his nonviolent methods.

From the Birmingham jail, where he was imprisoned as a participant in nonviolent demonstrations against segregation, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., wrote the "Letter from Birmingham Jail".

It was his response to a public statement of concern and caution issued by eight white religious leaders of the South who accused King of agitating local residents and not giving the incoming mayor a chance to make any changes.

What did Homer Plessy do to get himself arrested? Why did he want to do this? Who did the Supreme Court rule in favor of and why
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark 1896 U.S. Supreme Court decision that upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the “separate but equal” doctrine. The case stemmed from an 1892 incident in which African American train passenger Homer Plessy refused to sit in a car for Black people. Rejecting Plessy’s argument that his constitutional rights were violated, the Supreme Court ruled that a law that “implies merely a legal distinction” between white people and Black people was not unconstitutional. As a result, restrictive Jim Crow legislation and separate public accommodations based on race became commonplace. Over the next few years, segregation and Black disenfranchisement picked up pace in the South, and was more than tolerated by the North. Congress defeated a bill that would have given federal protection to elections in 1892, and nullified a number of Reconstruction laws on the books.

Then, on May 18, 1896, the Supreme Court delivered its verdict in Plessy v. Ferguson. In declaring separate-but-equal facilities constitutional on intrastate railroads, the Court ruled that the protections of 14th Amendment applied only to political and civil rights (like voting and jury service), not “social rights” (sitting in the railroad car of your choice).

In its ruling, the Court denied that segregated railroad cars for Black people were necessarily inferior. “We consider the underlying fallacy of [Plessy’s] argument,” Justice Henry Brown wrote, “to consist in the assumption that the enforced separation of the two races stamps the colored race with a badge of inferiority. If this be so, it is not by reason of anything found in the act, but solely because the colored race chooses to put that construction upon it.”
