"[The] Constitution, which, by the undefined meaning of some parts, and the ambiguities of expression in others, is dangerously

adapted to the purposes of an immediate aristocratic tyranny; that...from the difficulty, if not impracticability of its operation, must soon terminate in the most uncontrolled despotism...[1.]...[The] best political writers have supported the principles of annual elections...2. There is no security in the proffered system, either for the rights of conscience, or liberty of the press. 3. There are no well-defined limits of the Judiciary Powers...4. The Executive and Legislative are dangerously blended as to give just cause of alarm...9. There is no provision for a rotation, nor any thing to prevent the perpetuity of office in the same hands for life...14. There is no provision by a bill of rights to guard against the dangerous encroachments of power...15. The...impracticability, of exercising the equal and equitable powers of government by a single legislature over an extent of territory that reaches from Mississippi to the...Atlantic ocean...And it is to be feared we shall soon see this country rushing into the extremes of confusion and violence, in consequence of the proceedings of a set of gentlemen, who disregarding the purposes of their appointment, have assumed powers unauthorized by any commission, have unnecessarily rejected the confederation of the United States, and annihilated the sovereignty and independence of the individual governments."

Answer:

It reflects the fear of many people as regards a centralized federal power.

Explanation:

The passage refers to the period that immediately followed American independence from Britain. The articles of this Constitution were ambiguous on purpose because, in that way, aristocrats in charge of the power could exercise rights and modify the Constitution at their convenience. Americans felt that a federal government that concentrated most of the authority over the states would establish a tyranny similar to the one King George III had.

Women's rights have historically been restricted by the Supreme Court's use of which of the following?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Women's rights have historically been restricted by the Supreme Court using the reasonableness standard.

Explanation:

The reasonableness standard is used in US courts to understand whether a plaintiff or defendant acted reasonably in a harassment situation, for example, and it has been used in cases against police where the plaintiff claims excessive violence was used. There is also the "reasonable woman standard" that has been used in US Supreme Court Cases like Harris vs. Forklift Systems 510 US 17 (1993).  The Supreme Court sided in favor of Harris who had to appeal two lower court decisions that found that Harris was not sufficiently psychologically impacted for the case to constitute harassment.  The reasonableness standard can be seen as limiting because it imposes the standards of what men find reasonable in a sexual situation and coworker relationship at the expense of what women may find uncomfortable or inappropriate.
