6 0

Equal Rights for all during Reconstruction moved forward a bit, but there was still a long way to go. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were ratified during this time period.

The 13th Amendment: Abolished slavery

The 14th Amendment: Guarantees due process and equality under the law

The 15th Amendment: Right to vote (regardless of race...but not gender)

People called "Radical Republicans" championed forms of equality and helped enact some civil rights acts. They even placed federal troops in the south to protect minorities.

Even the president at the time was not happy with these changes (Andrew Johnson). He tried to veto many bills and was almost taken out of office by way of impeachment.

Once Hayes became president, many of the advancements went to the wayside. Federal troops were removed from the south, abd segregation (Jim Crow) laws came into effect.

How to solve superstition

Masja [62]

Superstition is a belief or notion, not based on reasons or knowledge, in or of the ominous significance of a particular thing, circumstance, occurring, proceeding, or the like. To overcome superstition, figure out reality and cling to it. Reality is what the five senses—touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste—allow us to perceive. It is not reality if none of those can comprehend it. Remember that there are restrictions at this time. One cannot quickly grasp the distant past. For instance, I reject the existence of gods or invisible, immaterial entities since there is no proof for them. However, since fossilized dinosaur bones have been discovered all throughout the world, I assume that they actually existed. In other words, there is proof that they formerly existed.

How many senators does it take to confirm a supreme court justice.

Vitek1552 [10]

The Constitution does not set any qualifications for service as a Justice, thus the President may nominate any individual to serve on the Court. Senate cloture rules historically required a two-thirds affirmative vote to advance nominations to a vote; this was changed to a three-fifths supermajority in 1975.
