Answer:

That phrase is a derogatory alternative name for the economy coined by the Victorian historian Thomas Carlyle in the nineteenth century. The term created a contrast with the then familiar use of "la gaya ciencia" to refer to the composition of songs and verses

Because Thomas Carlyle who was a writer and philospher, made up the phrase that economics is  "dismal science" (dismal meaning depressing)  because he believed that humans are trapped in a world where population will always grow and limit natural resources and bring widespread misery.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

15th Amendment.

Explanation:

The 15th Amendment of the Constitution of America allowed all men to vote without racism and discrimination. The law after the Civil War granted the rights to the African Americans (now freed) to vote. Before ratifying the amendment, only white men in America were allowed to vote and elect the government. The 15th Amendment was rectified during the Reconstruction era along with other Amendments like the 13th and 14th.
