HE PUT AN END TO RACIAL SEGREGATION IN THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES

Harry S. Truman was committed to reduce racial discrimination against African Americans. In 1947, he presented a detailed ten-point agenda of civil rights reforms but due to the power of southern Congressmen, he was unable to implement any significant civil rights legislation. He thus resorted to executive actions. On July 26, 1948, President Truman issued Executive Order 9981, which abolished racial discrimination in the US Armed Forces. It set up the President’s Committee on Equality of Treatment and Opportunity which successfully oversaw racial integration of the US Armed Forces. Another 1948 Executive Order of Truman made it illegal to discriminate against persons applying for civil service positions based on race. On June 12, 1948, Truman also signed into law the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act which enabled women to serve as permanent, regular members of the armed forces.

Which of the following conclusions can be drawn about the effectiveness of the First and Second Continental Congress?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

<u>Option A. The following conclusion can be drawn about the effectiveness of the First and Second Continental Congress:</u>

The success of the First and Second Continental Congress at peaceably organizing legislation against Great Britain demonstrated the effectiveness of a representative government.

Explanation:

From 1774 until 1789 The Continental Congress served as the government of the 13 American colonies and later the United States. On September 5th, 1774, representatives of 12 of the colonies met in Philadelphia in what was going to be called the First Continental Congress. The colony of Georgia did not send a representative to the meeting as it was fighting a Native American uprising and needed the British support for supplies. After a debate, the delegates issued a letter to King George III demanding to stop the Intolerable Acts and if failing to do so, the colonies would begin the boycott against England. The Second Continental Congress happened on May 10th, 1775, and this time all 13 colonies were present. These meetings were happening now during the Revolutionary War and as a consequence of it,  the debates were mainly about creating an army, and beginning to draft what on July 4th, 1776 became the Declaration of Independence and later on in 1781 the Articles of the Confederation.

Both the First and the Second Continental Congress were successful in their main objective which as to open a peaceful debate between the colonies and to join forces to fight against British rule. The organization shown in both of them demonstrated the effectiveness of a representative government.
