Answer:

The Act that was found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court because of the wording of the Fourteenth Amendment was the Civil Rights Act of 1875.

Explanation:

The Civil Rights Act of 1875 was a federal law proposed by Republican Senator Charles Sumner and Republican representative Benjamin Butler in 1870 during the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant. The law was approved by the United States Congress in February 1875 and signed by President Grant on 1 March 1875. The legislative provisions guaranteed that everyone, regardless of race, skin color or previous condition of slavery was entitled to the same treatment in public places, for example transport and taverns.

In 1883, the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional claiming that the congress had no power to regulate the conduct of individuals. The XIV amendment prohibits discrimination as long as it is a state that commits them, and not an individual; however many of the provisions of the law were reinserted in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and in the Fair Housing Act using federal power to regulate inter-state trade.

For 45 points! Explain how the War of 1812 included examples of national unity as well as examples of division.
marta [7]

Answer:

Some call the War of 1812, the United State's second war of independence because it generated a lot of pride and helped to consolidate political views after the war, to the point that the period after the war ended in 1815 is referred to as the "Era of Good Feelings." But there were also divisions between the Federalists who supported Britain and the other emerging political forces who wanted expansionism, especially West and who supported the ideas of the French Revolution.

Explanation:

Examples of Division:

The Northeastern United States relied heavily on trade with Britain, so they were therefore opposed with beginning the war. These were the Federalists who accused war supporters of wanting to use the war as an excuse to advance their expansive agenda West. There were partisan divides in Congress between the Federalists who were seen to support Britain and the other interests represented by the  Democratic-Republicans led by Thomas Jefferson, who were more interested in expansionism and breaking ties with England.

Examples of National Unity:

The war was impactful in the United States because it led to the demise of the Federalist party and boosted confidence in the idea of a nation without strong ties to Britain. Winning the Battle at New Orleans, for example, helped to fuel the growing spirit of expansionism that would characterize the years up until the civil war. It also signaled a consolidation of power and opinion against the Native American communities who were being pushed West. It is a decisive turning point in the struggle of Native Americans against large-scale American expansion further West into their territories.
