Based on this quote from Thomas Jefferson, why is jury duty an important civic responsibility? "I consider trial by jury as the

only anchor yet imagined by a man, by which government can be held to the principles of its constitution." A jury meets the moral obligations of the law. A jury protects the defendant from a biased and one-sided trial. A jury upholds the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. A jury determines the laws the government can apply in a case.

Answer:

A jury protects the defendant from a biased and one-sided trial.

Explanation:

In this statement, Jefferson tells us that the main reason why a jury is important in law is because it forces the government to follow the principles that are outlined in the Constitution. This means that Jefferson believes that, without a jury, the government might be tempted to not follow the law. This would result in a biased and one-sided trial.

4. What do you predict are the dangers of appeasement?
gavmur [86]
Good example of appeasement being used is the Munich Conference (1938), and the Potsdam Conference (1945). Many see appeasement as surrendering to another country’s wishes, which can make a nation and its leader look weak. It’s a temporary measure taken to stop a war, but many times is unsuccessful in the long run. Leaders such as Neville Chamberlain and FDR used this strategy with Hitler and Stalin, who both took advantage of what they had been given. Appeasement can put a country in a weak position due to them losing territory, resources, etc. It’s a very diplomatic policy, but usually only curbs a threat for a short time. Hope this helped a little! :)

To what extent were the achievements made in the area of civil rights during the 1950s and 1960s a function of the rising econom
Leni [432]

The Civil Rights Movement’s goals, strategies, and support began changing as new victories and defeats in the movement transformed the message of social and political equality to one that began encompassing  economic empowerment for the Black community. The 1950's-1960's was a span of two decades of radical changes in the infrastructure of American political and social spheres. From the mid 50's to 60's, the fight for civil rights was led primarily by leaders advocating nonviolence and civil disobedience.

After the Civil War, in which slavery was abolished, segregation set in in full force and those slaves who were freed were denied their basic rights, including the right to vote, with a series of arguments that established supposed inferiority due to race on the part of African Americans, by whites. The movement strengthened its efforts and it became so effective, that it achieved its political, social and economic goals through the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which also led to the institution of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 and then the Fair Housing Act of 1968. These laws strengthened the federal government's power to regulate state government's denial of civil rights.

The Civil War era was a period of great economic, political, and social upheaval in American history. Due to the war, the whole of the South's economic structure was literally destroyed.
