Answer:

c. granting rights to African Americans.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

a. extending suffrage to Southern women.

b. reforming the sharecropping system.

c. granting rights to African Americans.

d. protecting rights of Southerners accused of treason.

These amendments are collectively known as the Reconstruction Amendments. These include the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. These were adopted between 1865 and 1870, immediately following the Civil War. The main purpose of these was to ensure that the liberties given to African Americans were protected by law. They were also meant to provide equal protection under the law to the newly freed slaves.

How did Hindus and Buddhists look at social class differently
Sonbull [250]

Buddhism recognizes no classes and does not differentiate between Men and Women. All people are equal. In Hinduism, like in ancient Feudalism, there are hereditary classes (called Castes in Hinduism). People are born, live and die within their class/caste. They can only have certain jobs that fall into that caste. Now India is trying to wipe out the caste system but, as with anything dealing with people, not everyone takes the change to heart.

Hope This Helps!    Have A Nice Day!!

WHAT IF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION FAILED , AND THE UNITED STATES CONTINUED TO USE THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, the first constitution of the United States, on November 15, 1777, but the states did not ratify them until March 1, 1781. The Articles created a loose confederation of sovereign states and a weak central government, leaving most of the power with the state governments. Once peace removed the rationale of wartime necessity the weaknesses of the 1777 Articles of Confederation became increasingly apparent. Divisions among the states and even local rebellions threatened to destroy the fruits of the Revolution. Nationalists, led by James Madison, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Wilson, almost immediately began working toward strengthening the federal government. They turned a series of regional commercial conferences into a national constitutional convention at Philadelphia in 1787.

“An opinion begins to prevail that a general convention for revising the articles of Confederation would be expedient.”

John Jay to George Washington, March 16, 1786

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The 4-2-1 problem surrounding the one-child policy means that only children will have to bear the responsibility of supporting both of their parents and, sometimes, all four of their grandparents in their old age, as they cannot rely on siblings to help them care for their aging family.
