The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is one of the post-Civil War amendments, and includes, among others, the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause. It was proposed on June 13, 1866, and ratified on July 9, 1868.

The amendment provides a broad definition of national citizenship, which overrides the decision of Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), who had excluded slaves and their descendants, from possessing constitutional rights. It requires states to provide equal protection before the law to all persons (not just citizens) within their jurisdictions. The importance of the Fourteenth Amendment was exemplified in the 1950s when it was interpreted to prohibit racial segregation in public schools in the case Brown v. Board of Education.

How did Alexander Hamilton convince President Washington to support the
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The creation of common currency was important because, on their own, the currencies of the various states had little value. Using one common currency put a significantly greater amount of financial support behind the currency and raised its value. It was necessary to create a national bank to distribute and manage the new currency. Hamilton's concept of a centralized bank was adopted in 1791. The new bank was to operate for 20 years under the supervision of both the federal government and private individuals. The establishment of the bank was not without controversy, however. Many feared that the bank's northern location would affect the decision to place the United State's capital closer to the midpoint between the northern and southern states. Others complained that the creation of a national bank fell outside the powers granted to the government by the United States Constitution. Regardless, the bank operated for the 20 years for which it was originally chartered before being disbanded in 1811.

Describe the event that took place in 1802 in New Orleans that almost led to a war between Spain and the United States
Mrac [35]

Answer:

While New Orleans was under Spanish rule, a treaty known as the Treaty of San Lorenzo was signed by the Spanish and Americans in 1795. This treaty allowed Americans living on the western side of the Appalachian Mountains to store their goods and use the port to transport these goods free of charge. In 1802, the Spanish revoked the treaty. This upset many Americans and caused tension between the Americans and Spanish, as well as the French, who were rumored to have retained their claim to part of the Louisiana Territory. President Jefferson tried to ease the tension by sending a delegate to France to negotiate solutions to these issues.
