Answer:

The United States Bill of Rights comprises the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. Proposed following the often bitter 1787–88 debate over the ratification of the Constitution, and written to address the objections raised by Anti-Federalists, the Bill of Rights amendments add to the Constitution specific guarantees of personal freedoms and rights, clear limitations on the government's power in judicial and other proceedings, and explicit declarations that all powers not specifically granted to the U.S. Congress by the Constitution are reserved for the states or the people. The concepts codified in these amendments are built upon those found in earlier documents, especially the Virginia Declaration of Rights (1776), as well as the English Bill of Rights (1689) and the Magna Carta (1215)

Due largely to the efforts of Representative James Madison, who studied the deficiencies of the Constitution pointed out by anti-federalists and then crafted a series of corrective proposals, Congress approved twelve articles of amendment on September 25, 1789, and submitted them to the states for ratification. Contrary to Madison's proposal that the proposed amendments be incorporated into the main body of the Constitution (at the relevant articles and sections of the document), they were proposed as supplemental additions (codicils) to it. Articles Three through Twelve were ratified as additions to the Constitution on December 15, 1791, and became Amendments One through Ten of the Constitution. Article Two became part of the Constitution on May 5, 1992, as the Twenty-seventh Amendment. Article One is still pending before the states.

Although Madison's proposed amendments included a provision to extend the protection of some of the Bill of Rights to the states, the amendments that were finally submitted for ratification applied only to the federal government. The door for their application upon state governments was opened in the 1860s, following ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment. Since the early 20th century both federal and state courts have used the Fourteenth Amendment to apply portions of the Bill of Rights to state and local governments. The process is known as incorporation

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Most Mesoamerican and South American cultures practiced human sacrifice as part of their religious rituals, in order to satisfy or appease their gods. ... The Aztecs, on the other hand, practiced human sacrifice on a much larger scale as an offering to Huitzilopochtli to restore the blood lost in his daily war.

One of the major inspirations for the social reform movements of the 1840s and 1850s america came from
Morgarella [4.7K]
The correct answer: William Lloyd Garrison

The most unmistakable and questionable change development of the period was abolitionism, the counter slave development. Despite the fact that abolitionism had pulled in numerous supporters in the progressive time frame, the development slacked amid the mid 1800s. By the 1830s, the soul of abolitionism surged, particularly in the Northeast. In 1831, William Lloyd Garrison propelled an abolitionist daily paper, The Liberator, acquiring himself a notoriety for being the most radical white abolitionist. Though past abolitionists had proposed blacks be dispatched back to Africa, Garrison worked in conjunction with noticeable dark abolitionists, including Fredrick Douglass, to request level with social liberties for blacks. Battalion's call to war was "prompt liberation," yet he perceived that it would take a long time to persuade enough Americans to restrict bondage. To spread the abrogation enthusiasm, he established the New England Anti-Slavery Society in 1832 and the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1833. By 1840, these associations had brought forth more than 1,500 nearby sections. All things considered, abolitionists were a little minority in the United States in the 1840s, regularly subjected to scoffing and physical brutality.
