Jeopardy-  an exposure that an accused or a defendant is subjected to when on a jury for a certain offense.

Double jeopardy is an act or a procedural defense that prohibits a defendant from being tried again on similar offense or charges following a legal conviction. If this issue is being raised by the other party, a defendant may have a peremptory plea of autrefois acquit, which means the accused has been acquitted of the same charges and for this reason, the accused can't be retried under the principle of double jeopardy.
In other words, double jeopardy is a second trial or prosecution of a defendant  for the same charges after conviction or acquittal.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The Dakota War of 1862, also known as the Sioux Uprising, the Dakota Uprising, the Sioux Outbreak of 1862, the Dakota Conflict, the U.S.–Dakota War of 1862 or Little Crow's War, was an armed conflict between the United States and several bands of Dakota (also known as the eastern 'Sioux'). It began on August 17, 1862, along the Minnesota River in southwest Minnesota, four years after its admission as a state. Throughout the late 1850s in the lead-up to the war, treaty violations by the United States and late or unfair annuity payments by Indian agents caused increasing hunger and hardship among the Dakota. During the war, the Dakota made extensive attacks on hundreds of settlers and immigrants, which resulted in settler deaths, and caused many to flee the area. Intense desire for immediate revenge ended with soldiers capturing hundreds of Dakota men and interning their families. A military tribunal quickly tried the men, sentencing 303 to death for their crimes. President Lincoln would later commute the sentence of 264 of them. The mass hanging of 38 Dakota men was conducted on December 26, 1862, in Mankato, Minnesota; it was the largest mass execution in United States history.Little Crow attempted to restrain his tribe from attacking white settlers and the US government, but on the 17 August 1862 four Sioux men killed five white settlers. The following day, Little Crow launched an attack on the Indian Agency believing that they would be too preoccupied by the civil war to fight back. Those are the facts , of why he went to war ,

What tool of the presidency did Johnson use to try to stop Congress’s stricter plan for Reconstruction?
notsponge [240]
The correct answer is veto.

A veto is the ability of the president to reject a law. For example, if the Senate and House of Representatives pass a law they need the president to sign it. The president can refuse to sign it which results in a veto. Then the only way the law would be implemented into American society would be by having the Senate and House of Representatives vote on it again. If both houses vote this law into place with a 2/3rd vote, then this would become law without the presidents help. This process is known as an override.
