Answer:

The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is one of the post-Civil War amendments, and includes, among others, the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause. It was proposed on June 13, 1866, and ratified on July 9, 1868.

The amendment provides a broad definition of national citizenship, which overrides the decision of Dred Scott v. Sandford of 1857, which had excluded slaves and their descendants from possessing constitutional rights. It requires states to provide equal protection before the law to all persons (not just citizens) within their jurisdictions. The importance of the Fourteenth Amendment was exemplified when it was interpreted to prohibit racial segregation in public schools in the ruling in Brown v. Board of Education.

Me puede ayudar por favor, me vence en una hora :'c 1-¿Consideras que la nueva ley de electoral promulgada por Piérola era discr
amm1812

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

A pesar de que no anexaste opciones o incisos, podemos comentar lo siguiente.

¿Consideras que la nueva ley de electoral promulgada por Piérola era discriminatoria?

Sí, era discriminatoria ya que la nueva ley electoral propuesta por Piérola hizo a un lado a los indígenas del Perú por ser analfabetos, por no saber leer ni escribir.

Cabe recordar que anteriormente, con la ley que se eliminó, los indígenas podían votar.

2- ¿Cómo favoreció esta ley a los intereses del estado civil?

Excluyendo la posibilidad de voto para algunas autoridades oficialistas y para los militares. De esta forma, se estaba protegiendo al actual gobierno de una posible injerencia militar y presión por parte del ejército.

La Ley Electoral fue promulgada el 20 de noviembre de 1896. Con esa ley se suprimía la anterior ley que se basaba en colegios electorales que se caracterizaban por elegir autoridades a través del llamado voto indirecto. Algo muy parecido al sistema electoral de los Estados Unidos.
