Answer:

Medicare, Job Corps and Head Start were part of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society.

Explanation:

The Great Society was a comprehensive welfare policy reform program initiated by President Lyndon B. Johnson, which consisted of a number of measures and legislative changes. The two main objectives of the program were to reduce poverty and racial discrimination. Special measures were put into education, health care, urban problems and public transport.

Several programs were included within this reform plan, among which were Medicare, Job Corps and Head Start.

Medicare was incorporated into the United States' social security system on July 30, 1965, through additions to the Social Security Act as part of the Great Society, and is the second federal state insurance scheme alongside pension insurance. For the first time, it granted a health care system for the elderly or disabled. Medicare can be used by anyone over the age of 65 and anyone of any age with a recognized disability or with acute kidney failure that requires permanent dialysis or kidney transplantation.

In turn, the Job Corps was a program in charge of providing vocational education to young people, with the aim of allowing them a better insertion in the labor field.

Finally, Head Start was started in 1965 as a compensatory education program which should improve the educational opportunities for children from socially disadvantaged families and increase their resilience.

Explain how the fugitive slave act violated the core principles of american democracy
larisa [96]

The origins of these acts go back to the constitution where the article 4 has a clause called the fugitive slave clause which orders states to deliver up fugitives from labor (euphemism for runaway slaves) when they are requested by slaveholders.

This clause was translated into the first 1793 statute which was basically a civil statute that was not well enforced according to the southern states, thus leading to the creation of the 1850 fugitive slave act.

The 1850 act was tougher than the previous one, punishing not only runaway slaves, but also people who harbored or aided slaves in any way, with civil and criminal penalties including up to 6 months imprisonment if caught and prosecuted successfully.

There were many documented cases of people being tortured and imprisoned in south because of helping fugitives.

These acts directly violated the democracy in several ways for example:

  • Slavery had been abolished in many states of the US by the time these acts were created
  • They were considered by many as some species of legalized kidnapping
  • They encouraged illegal abduction or arrest and sale into slavery of free black men and women denying them the fair right to trial

One clear example would be the movie "Twelve years a slave" which depicts the documented case of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was sold as a slave without proof of him being one.
