Why do some critics say that the miranda rule “puts criminals back on the street”?
Colt1911 [192]
The Miranda Rule refers to the fact that police officials must read an accused person of their rights (like the right to remain silent and right to an attorney). If an officer of the law fails to do this, the case will be thrown out by the court.

In this case, one could see how people would critique this rule. This rule makes it so that if an individual commits a crime and is caught they could be let free if their Miranda rights are not read to them. This is the case with Miranda (the man from Miranda v. Arizona that establishes this law). He confessed his guilt after hours of interrogation with police but his case was thrown out, as his lawyer argued that he was unaware of his rights.

Serhud [2]
The first one that comes to mind is the Woolworth's Lunch Counter sit in in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1960. 4 African American gentlemen walked in and sat down and politely asked for service. They were rudely refused and told to leave. At that point they chose to remain seated. Despite having numerous insults hurled at them, they never fought back nor did they return the hate-filled speech. There are numerous other attempts during the 1950s, where African American men and women attempted to start a change at Soda Fountains around the country. 
Jackie Robinson's career is another example of nonviolent protest. He was extremely talented, but one of the main reasons that was cited, as to why he was chosen, was for his ability to control himself. Despite the death threats off the field and the dirty tricks and plays on the field, Robinson never "lost his cool." He gained fans as they watched what he endured on the field.

Why was Captain Henry Wirz, officer at Andersonville Prison, executed after the war? Question 10 options: He refused to allow a
klemol [59]

From all of the available options, the correct answer would be: "He was charged with cruelty to the prisoners-sickness, poor conditions, and few supplies caused over 13,000 POWs to die there."

Henry Wirz was an officer from the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. He is best known for being the commandant of the stockade of Camp Sumter, a camp for prisoners of war near Andersonville, Georgia. This site was famous for its terrible conditions and the high mortality rate of the prisoners which were confined here. The place had not been constructed as it was originally designed. It was smaller than what was originally planned. Due to this, its capacity was rapidly surpassed by the arrival of Union prisoners. The construction of wooden barracks were one of the tasks that were originally planned. However, this never materialized. This caused the Confederates to incarcerate the prisoners in a vast stockade with no roof. It had 16 and a half acres and had been intended to be used as a temporary prison for future exchanges of prisoners with the Union.

The place, nicknamed "Andersonville", suffered from overcrowding, poor sanitary conditions, a lack of food, tools, medical supplies, and potable water. Wirz recognized that the conditions were inadequate and petitioned his superiors to provide more support, but was denied.  At its peak in August 1864, the camp held approximately 32,000 Union prisoners. The monthly mortality rate reached 3,000 people. Causes of mortality were related to disease, dysentery, and malnutrition  Around 45,000 prisoners were incarcerated during the existence and operation of the camp. 13,000 of those, representing around 28%, died. As a result, he was charged for "combining, confederating, and conspiring to injure the health and destroy the lives of soldiers of the United States".
