Answer:  abolish slavery

Details:

When Frederick Douglass was a slave in Maryland, he taught himself to read and write. Then he undertook to teach other slaves those skills.  That got him sent to a slave master who was known for his harsh treatment of slaves, at the age of 16.   In 1838, when he was about 20, he managed to escape from slavery and went to New York City.  He then married a free black woman from Baltimore, and they settled in Massachusetts.  He became a prominent and powerful spokesman of the abolitionist movement, seeking to end slavery in the United States.

Harriet Tubman was also an escaped slave. who had been held in slavery in Maryland.  She escaped to Philadelphia in 1849 ... but then went back to rescue her family and help them to freedom.  Then she helped extended family members, and eventually was helping many, many slaves to freedom on what became known as the "Underground Railroad" -- a secret network of routes from one safe house to another that aided slaves in their escape.

William Lloyd Garrison was not a former slave; he was a member of white society in Massachusetts.  He worked for a newspaper, the <em>Newburyport Herald.</em>  He then started his own paper, which was an abolitionist paper, called <em>The Liberator.  </em>He also was organizer of the New-England Anti-Slavery Society.

The Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, adopted in 1804: required the electoral college to vote separately for president and
Andru [333]

Answer:

The Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, adopted in 1804, required the Electoral College to vote separately for president and vicepresident.

Until then, the Electoral College indirectly elected the vice president of the United States: while the president obtained the majority of the electoral votes, the candidate who finished second acceded to the vice presidency. Thus, political disputes were generated because many times it could happen that these candidates did not have similar political plans, or even didn't belong to the same party. With the approval of this Amendment, the vice president moved to integrate the presidential ballot, with which the voters had to start choosing candidates for both positions, and not only for the presidency.

Alenkinab [10]

Malcolm X was integral in the Black Power Movement. He introduced new ways of fighting oppression, no matter how controversial they may have been, but more importantly than that, he made many members realize that the "By any means necessary" philosophy did not necessarily benefit anyone in the long run.
