Answer:

The case in which the Supreme Court heard a legal challenge to affirmative action programs was Regents v. Bakke.

Explanation:

The School of Medicine of the University of California carried out a program by which sixteen students belonging to racial minorities had to be admitted for each class of one hundred students. With this aim it used a regular program according to which applicants were rejected with an average of less than 2.5 points and a special one in which that score did not apply, thus carrying out possitive action to include these minorities into higher education.

Allan P. Bakke, a white aspirant whose applications were rejected on two occasions, demanded the university because the special program had admitted candidates who had obtained a score lower than his. He founded his claim in the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, that establishes that no State of the United States may deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of rights.

The Supreme Court of California considered that such a system was illegal and ordered the admission of the plaintiff. Once the documents have been sent to the Supreme Court of the United States, it partially confirmed the sentence: although admitting positive discrimination as a way to equalize opportunities and generate equity in cases where inequality is evident, this does not prevent that this type of measures must be equitable for all groups. Therefore, as this measure by the University of California generated injustices based on a positive action measure, it was declared unconstitutional and Bakke's admission was ordered.

How long was the rivalry between Burr and Hamilton?
alekssr [168]
I'm not sure about the first one but, 
Philip Hamilton was killed  in a duel by George I. Eacker.
Hamilton did not want to die because he and Burr were dueling in the same place Philip had died, and he did not want to leave behind the rest of his family, including his wife Eliza.
There's a lot of this info in the second act of the Hamilton Musical Soundtrack, if you need more help.

How have historians over different generations thought about the question of whether enslaved people were able to retain African
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Historians over different generations had the thought of how the enslaved people were able to retain their African culture. It was realized that, the physical isolation and societal marginalization of African slaves, and also their free progeny facilitated the RETAINTION of significant elements of traditional culture among Africans in the United States.

Explanation:

The Enslaved people's African culture is rooted in the blend between the cultures of West and Central Africa and the Anglo-Celtic culture that has influenced and modified its development in the American South. Understanding its identity within the culture of the United States, it is, in the anthropological sense, conscious of its origins as largely a blend of West and Central African cultures.

Although slavery greatly restricted the ability of African to practice their original cultural traditions, many practices, values and beliefs survived, and over time have modified and/or blended with cultures of Native Americans, and these became a useful weapon in RESISTING slavery of African in America.

At the beginning of the 18th century, Christianity to spread across North Africa; this shift in religion began displacing traditional African spiritual practices. The enslaved Africans brought this complex religious dynamic within their culture to America. This fusion of traditional African beliefs with Christianity provided a commonplace for those practicing religion in Africa and America.
