History

kkurt [141]3 years ago
8 0

In 1916, Wilson nominated Louis Brandeis, a staunch progressive who had fought in court against the exploitation of women and children workers, to the Supreme Court. He was the first Jewish justice on the Court. Following Brandeis's nomination, Wilson supported improved credit for farmers and workers' compensation for federal employees. He then pushed through a law to eliminate child labor, but the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional in 1918. When American railroad unions threatened to strike in 1916, Wilson supported and signed into law a bill securing an eight-hour workday for railroad employees—the Adamson Act, which paved the way to shortened workdays for all industrial workers.

Analyze the basic principles of the us constitution. How do these principles connect to the ideas expressed in Declaration of In
iren2701 [21]

In addition to the important ideas expressed above, the Declaration contains a few other important ideas. 

First, the Declaration contains the idea that if the government must be overthrown, a new government must be set up to safeguard the first three conditions, equality, God-given rights of the "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."  In other words, contained within the Declaration is the idea that a subsequent revolution must incorporate the principles of the first revolution, not simply be a justification to devolve into anarchy or some form of despotism.

Second, the Declaration cautions us that a subsequent revolution may not be undertaken lightly, that only when "a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism" would another revolution be justified.
