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.

Vlad1618 [11]
The correct answer is B. the USSR. Many of the leaders of the Nationalist Party in the Chinese Civil War were very inspired by the political ideology at the present time in the USSR. They were also very interested in the military system and were sent to Moscow to study it. However, there was a conclusion shortly after that the Soviet system was not the best system suitable for China. Nevertheless, the Chinese Nationalist Party kept close ties to the USSR.

Do your think that Fidel Castro has been a good leader for Cuba or not
jonny [76]

In my opinion, he wasn't a very good leader.

1st of all, he was keeping people captive for rioting the streets. I think that wasn't right because it was his fault.

2nd, he turned his own country against him! What kind of leader does that?

3rd, many people died and got injured because of him. They all started fleeing.

4th, in the book Refugee by Alan Gratz, Isabel said that he let people escape to America. Well what about the Coast Guard? They would catch most Cubans anyway and send them back to Cuba. I feel like that was a mean joke.

Hope I helped ouo.

How do you think jackson might have countered his critics' accusation that he was acting like a king?
Lana71 [14]
Jackson believed he used the power of his office to preserve democratic principles and  serve the best interests of the common people. 

Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States of America, was nicknamed the "people's president". He became involved in a battle with the Second Bank of the United States. It was a private corporation, in theory, that actually served as a government-sponsored monopoly. He saw the bank as a corrupt, elitist institution that wielded too much power over the economy by manipulating paper money and its circulation. Using his presidential powers, he<span> vetoed the re-charter of the Second Bank of the United States for the reason that it backed “the advancement of the few at the expense of the many.” </span>
