Explain how southern states countered the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

There were several ways they did so.

Poll taxes

They introduced poll taxes which required that people who wanted to register to vote would pay a certain fee/ tax before they could register. As Black Americans had just been freed from slavery as well as being marginalised and disenfranchised, most of them could not afford to pay the taxes.

Literacy tests. 

These states also enacted literacy tests that served to test the literacy level of a prospective voter. This went against black Americans as well because they had not been educated as enslaved people and even then were barely being provided with education. Many of them were therefore unable to pass the tests.

Grandfather clause

To ensure that some poor or illiterate whites could still vote, these states enacted a ''Grandfather clause'' which stated that the above laws did not apply to people whose grandfathers had voted at least once before slavery was abolished. As Black Americans could not vote at the time, none of them qualified.

White Primaries

While it was Unconstitutional to refuse Black Americans the right to vote for American offices, it wasn't when it came to party primaries where candidates were chosen. These white primaries only allowed white people to vote which meant that only white people would decide on candidates.

Violence and Intimidation 

By engaging in violence against Black Americans, some groups hoped to intimidate Black Americans into being too afraid to vote. They even went so far as killing those who would resist.

Answer:

D. They believed it was unnecessary since the Constitution limited the federal government, and each

Explanation:

According to the Philadelphia Convention - a new Constitution for United States provided for a strong government with an extraordinary amount of power given to the president and the senate. The Anti - Federalists charged that the new federal government resembled a monarchy in its concentration of power at the expense of liberty. The Federalists rejected the arguments of the Anti - Federalists by relocating it in the people. They on the other hand argued that since the constitution which represented the people had sought to instruct and control the institutions of government, thus all sovereignty rested with the people and that the Constitution did not need a bill of rights,

The Anti - Federalists held that a bill of rights was necessary to safeguard individual liberty.

Under the leadership of Madison, the first federal Congress attempted to fulfill this promise and proposed twelve amendments to the Constitution. In 1791, ten of them were ratified by the states, and these became the Bill of Rights.
