Answer:

The correct answer is D. The factor that most contributed to the split among southern Democrats in 1948 was President Truman's support for desegregation and civil rights. They were called Dixiecrats.

Explanation:

Dixiecrats were a conservative faction in the Democratic Party from 1948 to 1964, that supported racial segregation and the Jim Crow laws.

In 1948, it was composed by 6 governors, 19 senators and 1 member of the House of Representatives from the southern states, which at that time were the stronghold of the Democratic Party and racism. The leader was Strom Termond. The group broke away from the Democratic Party, dissatisfied with Truman's attempts to desegregate in the South. In 1948, the dixiecrats voted in the presidential election for Strom Thurmond under the slogan "Segregation Forever." After the defeat in the elections, the Dixiecrats returned to the Democratic Party, but continued to maintain their faction, actively resisting desegregation, after which they were joined by Robert Bird and Albert Gore Sr. (father of A. Gore). A racist bloc was formed of 21 Democratic senators and right-wing Republicans. After the elimination of segregation in the South and the beginning of the “new southern strategy” of the Republicans led by Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan in 1964, most of the Dixiecrats led by Strom Termond joined the Republican Party.

The Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights contributed most directly to the American system of government by
ladessa [460]

In 1215, a band of rebellious medieval barons forced King John of England to agree to a laundry list of concessions later called the Great Charter, or in Latin, Magna Carta. Centuries later, America’s Founding Fathers took great inspiration from this medieval pact as they forged the nation’s founding documents—including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

For 18th-century political thinkers like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, Magna Carta was a potent symbol of liberty and the natural rights of man against an oppressive or unjust government. The Founding Fathers’ reverence for Magna Carta had less to do with the actual text of the document, which is mired in medieval law and outdated customs, than what it represented—an ancient pact safeguarding individual liberty.

“For early Americans, Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence were verbal representations of what liberty was and what government should be—protecting people rather than oppressing them,” says John Kaminski, director of the Center for the Study of the American Constitution at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Much in the same way that for the past 100 years the Statue of Liberty has been a visual representation of freedom, liberty, prosperity and welcoming.”

When the First Continental Congress met in 1774 to draft a Declaration of Rights and Grievances against King George III, they asserted that the rights of the English colonists to life, liberty and property were guaranteed by “the principles of the English constitution,” a.k.a. Magna Carta. On the title page of the 1774 Journal of The Proceedings of The Continental Congress is an image of 12 arms grasping a column on whose base is written “Magna Carta.
