The correct answer is bust.

A bust is a sculpture that represents the<em> upper part of the body</em> (head, neck, shoulders). This piece of art is usually supported by a plinth which means a heavy base.

The portrait bust was invented in Hellenistic Greece. Not many original Greek examples of busts survived though, and most copies are Roman. In the  Roman tradition, wax masks of dead people were made and later worn at their funerals, in front of the popped up body of the deceased. The bust-making tradition may have had originated there.

Most busts were made from bronze, wax, terracotta, marble or wood.

Summarize the purpose of the Preamble of the Constitution
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The preamble sets the stage for the Constitution (Archives.gov). It clearly communicates the intentions of the framers and the purpose of the document. The preamble is an introduction to the highest law of the land; it is not the law. It does not define government powers or individual rights

Explanation:

The function of the Preamble is to outline the goals of a united government as originally designed by the Framers. It also explains the purpose of the Constitution. The Preamble also establishes that power of the government comes from the people who live in the country and not from the people who are in power.

First it creates a national government consisting of a legislative, an executive, and a judicial branch, with a system of checks and balances among the three branches. Second, it divides power between the federal government and the states. And third, it protects various individual liberties of American citizens.

How mass incarceration became the new jim crow – control of people of color?
kipiarov [429]
Police officers and judges are more biased towards african americans and other minorities. They already have misconceptions that minorities are criminals so they lock them up with harsher sentences than their white counterparts. The prison system also isn't built around rehabilitation like it should be and since minorities are incarcerated more than white people and for longer periods of time, it keeps them in the system and a stain on society.
