irinina [24]3 years ago

Answer:

On this 50th anniversary year of the Selma-to-Montgomery March and the Voting Rights Act it helped inspire, national attention is centered on the iconic images of “Bloody Sunday,” the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the interracial marchers, and President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act. This version of history, emphasizing a top-down narrative and isolated events, reinforces the master narrative that civil rights activists describe as “Rosa sat down, Martin stood up, and the white folks came south to save the day.”

How does the trial by jury protect a citizens freedom?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The founding fathers included jury trials in the constitution, because jury trials prevent tyranny. The definition of tyranny is oppressive power applied by the government. Tyranny also exists when absolute power is established by a single ruler. Jury trials are the opposite of tyranny because the citizens of the jury are given the absolute power to make the final decision on a trial.

Explanation:

Trial by jury is a unique part of America’s democracy. Most countries do not have jury trials. Jury trials provide an opportunity for citizens to participate in the process of governing. Jury trials educate jurors about the justice system.  

Jury trials offer the voice of the people to the civil and criminal justice systems. If you are accused of a crime, you have the right to ask for a jury to judge if you are guilt or innocence. In a civil case, a jury of citizens will determine community standards and expectations in accordance with the law. It is not fair for judges and lawyers to take every important decision; they are not representative of the people. Juries provide the voice of common sense and the perspective of the citizens.

Like that of Hebron the history of Jerusalem goes back to Abraham true or false
Korolek [52]

Answer:

That is false.

Explanation:

Hebron is much older than Jerusalem. The Torah cites Hebron as the place where patriarch Abraham arrived when he made it to Canaan, some 18 centuries BCE. King David was anointed here. There are other major events and characters associated with Hebron. Jerusalem was conquered by king David around 1000 BCE, though its role is more important for Jews - and Christians and Muslims - today.

How did muckrakers of the 19th century compare to modern day journalists?
Sergio [31]
<span>Muckrakers of the 19th century can be compared to some, but not all modern day journalists. Muckrakers were famous for "digging up dirt" on people and exposing them. Today's journalists do similar things, especially in the current political environment. However, today's journalists have it easier with the inventions of social media and the Internet. It's much easier to "dig up dirt" on people and expose them.</span>
