A - The voting rights act secured the right to vote for African Americans in 1965
The Seventh Amendment was part of the Bill of Rights that was added to the Constitution on December 15, 1791. This amendment protects the right to a trial by jury in civil court cases.
The writers of the Bill of Rights wanted to make sure that the government would not do away with a trial by jury. They were concerned that if trials were only decided by judges, the judges would side with the government, giving the government too much power. This happened to the colonists when judges, who were appointed by the king, would always side with the king. They felt a jury of local people would be more likely to provide a fair trial.
Answer:
The Articles of Confederation (1781) was the original Constitution before being replaced in 1789. The Articles of Confederation favored power to the states. The Articles of Confederation was all created by the 13 States soon after the American Revolution. Obviously, the Articles did not turn out successful. For example, it did not have any sort of national court or executive branch. Each state had there own form of currency. If a amendment wanted to be passed, ALL 13 colonies had to agree
Mainly Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.
