Butoxors [25]

<u>Explanation:</u>

1. In the South, "whites" limited the power of blacks in the South by them from voting, serving on juries, or to even travel or work freely.

2. An example of such unfair/unethical action is how many states used the "grandfather clause " to limit the power of the black voter. They said blacks could not vote unless their grandfather had voted; which was impossible for the majority.

3. In the North even though they enjoyed some freedom compared to other regions they faced this discrimination;

  • they were excluded from public transportation,
  • they were excluded from schools and
  • even in churches, they were excluded.

4. The West Indians faced discrimination here.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The principle of Constitutionalism.

Explanation:

The English Bill of Rights, 1689 was a series of acts signed by William III and Mary II into law after King James II was overthrown from the crown. The Bill established a constitutional monarchy in England where the king and queen ruled under the aegis of the parliament.

The above quote represents the principle of Constitutionalism as it presents the idea that final authority should be in the hands of the citizens. No person, regardless of possession or power, could be above the law and constitution.

In this case, the king or queen shall have limited powers and would only have nominal powers. It states that no power or authority can be imposed without the consent of the parliament. Thus, making the constitution most powerful entity in the country.
