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.

im not sure

BUT

In 1227 the Mongol dominions stretched over the vast regions between the Caspian and China seas, bordering in the north on the sparsely populated forest belt of Siberia and in the south on the Pamirs, Tibet, and the central plains of China. This empire contained a multitude of different peoples, religions, and civilizations, and it is only natural to seek the motivating force behind this unparalleled expansion.

What are two reasons why Communism was seen as such a threat to a America in the 1950s?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The possession of nuclear weapons by Russia, and the perceived infiltration of Communists in government -are two reasons why Communism was seen as such a threat to America in the 1950s.

Explanation:

Short answer: violent revolutions that typically ended with the murder of most of the existing elites and confiscation of their properties, and the establishment of repressive police states that would either execute anyone or banish to gulags or work camps anyone who disagreed with the Communist Party.

Long answer: when communism first came up as a theory, it was a seen as the natural evolution of society by its fans - feudalism to capitalism to socialism to communism. With the advent of mass democracy, it was seen as only a matter of time that the workers would organize enough to use their greater numbers to force change in the system and move capitalism to socialism (and eventually communism).

In 1871, after France lost the Franco-Prussian war, the people of Paris weren't too happy with how it went and established a new government (the Paris Commune) with a fair amount of support. It was a much more communist government. The "national government" fled Paris and set up base outside the city. The two argued. Then the national government vowed to crush the commune, and issued orders to execute anyone holding a weapon or with gunpowder on their hands. Over the next two months, the revolution was bloodily put down and there were mass executions of almost all the major figures of the revolution.

The communists realized that the middle class would ally with the elite over the workers when push came to shove. The bolsheviks (Russian communists) decided that if they were able to have a revolution, they needed to crush any potential opposition or they'd get crushed themselves. So in 1917, that's just what happened, leading to the millions dead in the Russian Civil War.

Of course, once you start killing anyone who presents a threat to you, it is hard to stop. Leading to Stalin's great purgers and the Holmodor, and the various campaigns of Mao in China when they took power. Also, refusing to hear dissent allowed mass famines like the Holmodor and the Great Leap Forward.

The successful Communist revolutionaries of the 20th Century generally subscribed to "those capitalist swine will be the first ones against the wall when the revolution comes" - which certainly put a scare into the elites in the West.
