History

Answer: President Ulysses S. Grant

Explanation:

Reconstruction happened during Grant's two terms of office. The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) caused widespread violence throughout the South solely against African Americans.

By the year 1870, all former Confederate states had gotten readmitted into the United States and were now represented in Congress. However Democrats, majority of whom are former slave owners, violently refused to accept that these freedmen were citizens, whom suffrage were granted by the Fifteenth Amendment.

By 1871 Klan activity was getting out of control, while President Grant and Congress created the Department of Justice and had then passed three Force Acts into law. President Grant and his Attorney General Amos T. Akerman began a serious crackdown on Klan in the South, starting in South Carolina. They were making arrests and convictions, causing the Klan to demobilize and thus ensuring a fair election for 1872.

How has the Supreme Court interpreted the fifth amendment protection against self
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

What does the fifth amendment protect?

The Fifth Amendment protects the right to avoid incriminating yourself. A defendant can plead the Fifth Amendment if a lawyer asks a question that the defendant would incriminate himself or herself  by answering truthfully.

Explanation:

Constitutional Issue ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

The Fifth Amendment of the Constitution guarantees that “no person . . . shall be

compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself. . . .” This right was made

part of the Bill of Rights to prevent a tyrannical government from forcing accused persons

to confess to crimes they may or may not have committed. Miranda’s case before the

Supreme Court was based on this Fifth Amendment protection. The Court accepted the

case in order to explore and clarify certain problems arising from earlier decisions related

to the rights of individuals taken into police custody. The precise question that the Court

explored was under what circumstances an interrogation may take place so that a confession made during the interrogation would be constitutionally admissible in a court of law.
