Explanation:
Changes to the government are called Amendments.
There have been 27 changes so far, or, there are currently 27 Amendments. The first 10 Amendments are called The Bill of Rights.
Poverty and unemployment were two harsh conditions faced by countries after World War I. This was especially true in countries like Germany. Thanks to the Treaty of Versailles, the German economy was ruined. This was because they were forced to take responsibility for World War I and were required to pay billions of dollars in reparations to other countries.
This caused poverty and unemployment to increase all across Germany. At difficult times like this, citizens are looking for a strong leader who can make significant changes. This desperation allowed for the rise of Hitler. Hitler's ability to rally individuals behind his beliefs changed a generation of citizens in Germany, giving them hope for a better economy. Htiler's reign actually resulted in increased pay and lower unemployment rates in Germany.
But sharecroppers were still poor, and it was hard for them to save money to buy their own land. White land-owners liked that, because they didn't want black people to own their own land.
Many white farmers also became sharecroppers after the Civil War. In Mississippi, for instance, about a third of the white farmers were sharecroppers, and more than three-quarters of the black farmers were sharecroppers. Nearly all of the land-owners, though, were white. The white land-owners arranged things so that most sharecroppers could not make enough money sharecropping to buy their food and clothes. They ended up having to borrow money from the land-owners, and soon they were always in debt. The land-owners said they could not leave the land if they owed money, so in many places share-cropping ended up being a lot like slavery.

It's an awesome study guide I highly suggest it .
the 13th Amendment abolished the slavery, the 14th was effectively a bill of rights, guaranteeing the new black citizens their political and legal equality, the 15th stated in unambiguous terms that citizens' Rights had not to be limited by "race, color or previous condition of servitude".
The Civil Rights Act of 1871 gave the US President the power to temporarily get rid of the writ of habeas corpus.
The write of habeas corpus is usually used as a means to stop the government from unlawfully detaining a person. However, in this case, the president agrees to suspend this for a certain amount of time in order to more effectively stop the actions of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist organizations. At this time, the KKK and other groups were terrorizing newly freed African-American citizens. This was especially true in southern states where slavery used to exist.
