Racism is a mentality. It is where a group of people use the race of another group as an excuse to treat them inferior. In many causes, it starts with one race separating a heinous act that a part of another race does and then apply it to the entire race as a whole. The problem with reducing racism to the actions and thoughts of people is we miss the big picture. Most people try to be good and fit in with society; however, some people can't do this because they don't understand why what they do/think is not socially acceptable. These people often think that they are in the right and those opposing them are in the wrong. A good example of this is the enslavement of Africans. There is a passage in the Bible that refers to Ham, the son of Noah, acting out against his father, and in return his skin gets blemished or darkened making him inferior and showing the crime he did against his father. This was the main excuse for enslavement of those with darker skin for generations, and if it was in their most sacred book, how could it possibly be wrong?

If people believe their rights are being violated, they have the right to a fair and impartial hearing. This reflects the basic
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

i'd go with due process

Explanation:

The reason for this is that an impartial hearing doesn't have much to do with lifetime employment, free consent, or freedom of conscience. Then from privacy and due process, we can see that due process makes more sense because if their rights are being violated and they have an impartial hearing, this doesn't necessarily represent privacy (:

When was the first state constitution created
Basile [38]
I think this would be the Constitution of Massachusetts,  created in 1779, approved in 1780. It was actually the first constitution written by a convention and remains the oldest constitution (apart from parts of that of San Marino) still in use.

How did Slavery in the American Colonies have an overall negative impact on life in Africa?
Step2247 [10]
So slavery and trapping of other tribes was already a thing in Africa before slavery went to the U.S. Because the U.S started doing it, tribes now wanted to enslave as many people as they could to get money from trades that would se d slaves over. This meant tribes fell apart, cultures were lost, and people were hunted down to sell as slaves.
