<u>OPTION 2: Bakke was a white male who had better grades than some minority applicants.</u>

Allan Bakke was a thirty-five-year-old white man who had applied for admission to the University of California Medical School at Davis twice and rejected, even though the university reserved 16% of its admission places for minority applicants. Bakke, qualified as a minority applicant and his test scores were high relating to other minority students admitted before.

defon

The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States ('XIV Amendment') 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 when it was interpreted to prohibit racial segregation in public schools in the Brown v. Case. Board of Education.

How might life in the Americas have been different if the Ice Ages had not occurred?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

hi how are you

The Missouri River would have flowed north across Canada. There would be no Hudson’s Bay. The Ohio River would not exist. Instead the “New” River of West Virginia would have flowed north to the St. Lawrence. There would be no Great Lakes.

The British colonies would have remained hemmed in along the Atlantic. There would be no easy access to the Mississippi and the interior might well have remained solidly French. If you did somehow get to the Mississippi, there would be no Missouri River to take you to the Rocky Mountains. There would be no Detroit, Chicago or Milwaukee.

you meant something like that?
