How do historical documents and various laws/amendments impact the growth of democratic rights and ideals

History

Andrew [12]3 years ago

Answer: The Bill of Rights is the name given to the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution.

The Bill of Rights consists of guarantees of civil liberties and checks on state power; it was added in order to convince states to ratify the Constitution.

Explanation: By the time the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, it had become clear to many American leaders that a more powerful federal government was necessary in order to effectively deal with the challenges facing the young nation.  

Under the Articles of Confederation, the central government had neither the power to raise taxes nor the authority to regulate interstate commerce. Additionally, there was no established mechanism through which states could adjudicate conflicts. Many of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention understood that the Articles of Confederation would need to be supplanted entirely, not merely revised.  

To this end, the delegates spent months debating and shaping the scope and contours of a new and more powerful federal government.

Why does schorr think that views of history help to sustain prejudice against Mexican Americans?
Scrat [10]

1. In his text "Revonverting Mexican Americans," the author Daniel Schorr talks about the ways in which Mexicans and Mexican-Americans were welcomed back to the country after WWII. He tells us that they are often the last people to be hired and the first ones to go. He also tells us that prejudice against Mexican-Americans is sustained by the views that Americans have of history, for example, in the battle of the Alamo. He thinks that such stories view Mexicans as inherently lazy and dishonest, which perpetuates discrimination.

2. He believes that resentment among Mexican Americans will not be contained because people will eventually begin to demand rights and equality. He argues that they "can be trodden on just so long." This is based on the fact that Mexican Americans are an essential part of the country, and they deserve the same rights as everyone else.
