Answer:

Explanation:

The works of Saint-Simon provide one of the most complete accounts we have of the reign of Louis XIV. A regular presence in the court, the writer and historian detailed daily life at Versailles and was a close follower of political developments. When the king died in 1715 he became a member of the Regency Council, before retiring to his château de La  Ferté-Vidame. He died in 1755.

How did the seventeenth amendment to the u.S. Constitution give more political power to the individual voter?
Inessa [10]

17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Direct Election of U.S. Senators (1913)

The Constitution, as it was adopted in 1788, made the Senate an assembly where the states would have equal representation. Each state legislature would elect two senators to 6-year terms. Late in the 19th century, some state legislatures deadlocked over the election of a senator when different parties controlled different houses, and Senate vacancies could last months or years. In other cases, special interests or political machines gained control over the state legislature. Progressive reformers dismissed individuals elected by such legislatures as puppets and the Senate as a "millionaire’s club" serving powerful private interests.

One Progressive response to these concerns was the "Oregon system," which utilized a state primary election to identify the voters’ choice for Senator while pledging all candidates for the state legislature to honor the primary’s result. Over half of the states adopted the "Oregon system," but the 1912 Senate investigation of bribery and corruption in the election of Illinois Senator William Lorimer indicated that only a constitutional amendment mandating the direct election of Senators by a state’s citizenry would allay public demands for reform.

When the House passed proposed amendments for the direct election of Senators in 1910 and 1911, they included a "race rider" meant to bar Federal intervention in cases of racial discrimination among voters. This would be done by vesting complete control of Senate elections in state governments. A substitute amendment by Senator Joseph L. Bristow of Kansas provided for the direct election of Senators without the "race rider." It was adopted by the Senate on a close vote before the proposed constitutional amendment itself passed the Senate. Over a year later, the House accepted the change, and on April 8, 1913, the resolution became the 17th amendment.

Answer:

1. b) The incorporation of the 14th Amendment has consolidated power between the government at the local, state, and federal level.

2. a) The Supreme Court overturned the separate but equal doctrine in schools.

Explanation:

1. The 14th Amendment's incorporation concentrates local, state, and federal power. Section 1 of this amendment states, "No state shall abridge the rights or immunities of U.S. citizens; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor shall any state deny any person within its jurisdiction equal protection of the laws."

2. Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka abolished the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson tenet of "separate but equal" in schools. This judgement did not say that separating pupils by race was intrinsically improper; rather, it declared that if two schools were really equal, they should be permitted to separate without legal repercussions.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The major similarity between French and Spanish colonies in the Americas is that both were what one textbook I teach from calls "frontiers of inclusion." In both of these countries' colonies, Native Americans were made an integral part of society.
