Tyranny is when a nation is ruled by a cruel and oppressive government like when Hitler was the dictator of Germany, Democracy is what the US has, its <span>a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives, like when we get to vote for president and stuff.</span>
In McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) the Supreme Court ruled that Congress had implied powers under the Necessary and Proper Clause
of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution to create the Second Bank
of the United States and that the state of Maryland lacked the power to
tax the Bank. Arguably Chief Justice John Marshall's
finest opinion, McCulloch not only gave Congress broad discretionary
power to implement the enumerated powers, but also repudiated, in
ringing language, the radical states' rights arguments presented by
counsel for Maryland.
At issue in the case was the constitutionality of the act of Congress
chartering the Second Bank of the United States (BUS) in 1816. Although
the Bank was controlled by private stockholders, it was the depository
of federal funds. In addition, it had the authority to issue notes
that, along with the notes of states' banks, circulated as legal tender.
In return for its privileged position, the Bank agreed to loan the
federal government money in lieu of taxes. State banks looked on the
BUS as a competitor and resented its privileged position. When state
banks began to fail in the depression of 1818, they blamed their
troubles on the Bank. One such state was Maryland, which imposed a
hefty tax on "any bank not chartered within the state." The Bank of the
United States was the only bank not chartered within the state. When
the Bank's Baltimore branch refused to pay the tax, Maryland sued James
McCulloch, cashier of the branch, for collection of the debt. McCulloch
responded that the tax was unconstitutional. A state court ruled for
Maryland, and the court of appeals affirmed. McCulloch appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which reviewed the case in 1819.
Answer:
1. Before the Civil War ended, Congress passed the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which abolished slavery. After the war, white southerners created legislation (known as Black Codes) to prevent freedmen from exercising their rights, prompting Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act in 1866, which guaranteed black citizenship.
2. Citizens of the United States and the State in which they reside are all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to its authority. No State shall make or execute any law that restricts the privileges or immunities of United States citizens; no State shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; and no State shall refuse equal protection of the laws to any person within its jurisdiction.
3. The right to vote of United States citizens shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on the basis of race, color, or past servitude.
4. They are generally known as the Civil War Amendments, and I believe they were designed to ensure equality for newly liberated slaves.
