Answer:  The <u>rights</u> of citizens.

Context/details:

Anti-Federalists opposed ratification of the US Constitution.  The Articles of Confederation, in place prior to the ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, had granted stronger authority to the states. Patrick Henry and other Anti-Federalists were concerned about too much power winding up in the hands of the federal government and its executive branch, thus allowing a small number of national elites to control the affairs of the USA.  They feared this also would diminish the rights and freedoms of individual citizens.  They wanted a Bill of Rights in the Constitution to assure that rights and freedoms would not be compromised in any way.

The Bill of Rights, laid out in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, provided some reassurance to Anti-Federalists after the fight over ratification. The US Constitution was ratified in 1788.  The Bill of Rights was created in 1789 and ratified in 1791.

- What are two reasons why Japan closed it citizens off from the influences of the rest of the world?
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: Prevent the spread of western ideas in particular Christianity.

Explanation:

As Europeans were exploring Asian countries with the goal of creating trade agreements, many areas were experiencing a push of western culture. To prevent the influence of western culture, the Tokugawa Shogunate refused westerners and made western culture unlawful. Christianity was considered particularly harmful to Japanese culture and hierarchy. The Shogun removed missionaries from the country and made the practice of Christianity illegal. The samurai also resented western influence because it promoted the status of merchants and degraded their own position in society.

What else happened before the cherokee left. from trail of tears?
grigory [225]

Before the Cherokee left on the Trial of Tears, the Cherokee people were divided, that was the best way to handle the government´s determination to get its hands on their territory. Some wanted to stay and fight, ohers thought it was better to agree to leave in exchange for money and other concessions.

In 1835 a few self appointed representatives of the Cherokee nation negotiated the treaty of New Echota, which traded all Cherokee land east of the Mississippi for US$ 5 Million, relocation assistance and compensation for lost properties.
