The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Hart-Celler Act, was a bill that was proposed by Representative Emmanuel Celler of New York and it was co-sponsored by senator Phillip Hart from Michigan. Many political leaders, like Ted Kennedy, supported this bill, as well as northern American leaders and Republicans, while Southern leaders opposed it on racial grounds. In essence this bill came in response to the 1921 Emergency Quota Act, which had put a ban, through the National Origins Formula, to the immigration of all Europeans except from northern Europe, based on the number or residents and citizens from European origin. With this, the United States established quotas of immigrants from these regions of Europe, with only some exceptions. However, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 raised this ban and lifted the discrimination against Europeans who were not from the north of the continent. What the bill of 1965 retained from old policies was the limits on immigration based on country of origin, but it established a new preferential visas for immigrants with special skills and also those who had family ties with citizens and residents in the U.S

<em><u>The biggest accomplishment of Passage of Immigration act of 1965 was that it supported the Victims of Political Persecution.  </u></em>

This act preferences to be made in accordance with categories along with this.This act also placed some caps on immigration per country wise along with the caps on each category. Before this act came into force, there were almost half of the immigrants from European countries in United States as compared to just 6% from Asian countries but after this act, this scenario completely changed because within around 20 years of this act, there were only 16% Europeans and 31% of Asians in the United States.

How did Anna Hutchinson affect the colonies
Eddi Din [679]
 <span>In 1636, Anne Hutchinson, the wife of one of Boston's leading citizens, was charged with heresy and banished from Massachusetts Colony. A woman of learning and great religious conviction, Hutchinson challenged the Puritan clergy and asserted her view of the "Covenant of Grace" - that moral conduct and piety should not be the primary qualifications for "visible sanctification." 

Her preachings were unjustly labeled "antinomianism" by the Puritans - a heresy - since the Christian leaders of that day held to a strong "Covenant of Works" teaching which dictated the need for outward signs of God's grace. The question of "works versus grace" is a very old one; it goes on forever in a certain type of mind. Both are true doctrines, however, the "Covenant of Grace" is true in a higher sense. 

Anne Hutchinson's teaching can be summed up in a simple phrase which she taught the women who met in her home: "As I do understand it, laws, commands, rules and edicts are for those who have not the light which makes plain the pathway. He who has God's grace in his heart cannot go astray." 

Actually, what Anne Hutchinson was preaching was not antithetical to what the Puritans believed at all. What began as quibbling over fine points of Christian doctrine ended as a confrontation over the role of authority in the colony. Threatened by meetings she held in her Boston home, the clergy charged Hutchinson with blasphemy. An outspoken female in a male hierarchy, Hutchinson had little hope that many would speak in her defense, and she was being tried by the General Court. 

After being sentenced, she went with her family to what is now Rhode Island. Several years later she moved to New York where she and some of her family were massacred by Indians. One of her descendants, Thomas Hutchinson, later became governor of Massachusetts. 

Anne Hutchinson pioneered the principles of civil liberty and religious freedom which were written into the Constitution of the United States. The spirit of Anne Hutchinson, the first woman preacher and fearless defender of freedom in New England, survived her persecution and death and it survives even until this day.
