Birth control

Margaret Sanger’s was arrested ni 1916 for opening the country's first birth control clinic (in Brooklyn NY). She also had been in violation of existing laws by publishing and distributing <em>The Woman Rebel </em>newsletter, which discussed contraception. The laws in question were called "The Comstock Laws," on the books since 1873. The first of such Comstock Laws was the 1873 federal act for the "Suppression of Trade in, and Circulation of, Obscene Literature and Articles of Immoral Use," which made it illegal to distribute materials regarding contraception (and other sex-related topics) by US mail. .Anthony Comstock was a US Postal Inspector who had been behind the push for such laws.

Sanger appealed her conviction under the Comstock Laws. In 1918, Judge Frederick Crane of the New York Court of Appeals upheld Sanger's conviction. But in his ruling, he also issued a revised interpretation of New York's state law, saying that physicians could legally prescribe contraception for general health reasons, not just for prevention of the spread of venereal disease. It was a court ruling that allowed allowed women in general at least some access to contraception, and was the beginning of the success of the birth control movement that Sanger championed.

How did slavery impact the United States?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:La esclavitud fue practicada en la América británica desde el principio de la era colonial, y fue firmemente establecida cuando se firmó la Declaración de Independencia de los Estados Unidos. Tras esto, existió una expansión gradual de abolicionismo en el Norte, mientras la rápida expansión de la industria del algodón desde 1800 causó al Sur aferrarse fuertemente a la esclavitud, e intentar expandirla a los nuevos territorios occidentales del país. Así, la esclavitud polarizó la nación en estados esclavistas y estados libres mediante la línea Mason-Dixon, que separaba a Maryland (esclavista) y Pensilvania (libre).

What are the terms Dual and Cooperative Federalism and which YOU believe is more efficient
jonny [76]

Answer:

The term Dual Federalism refers to the political system through which a federalism is established where both the Federal State and the local States divide powers and limit each other with respect to their functions, each exercising their own and without getting involved in the other's.

For its part, the term Cooperative Federalism refers to the federalist political system by which the Federal State and the local States have a differentiation in terms of their levels of performance, but not in terms of their tasks, with which they cooperate with each other to compliance with government objectives.

Personally, I believe that cooperative federalism is more effective, as both spheres of government deal with similar issues, and control each other through a co-participatory and non-restrictive regime as in the case of dual federalism.
