Which action did reformer miguel Trujillo take to expand civil rights ​

History
1 answer:
avanturin [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

When Miguel Trujillo, from Isleta Pueblo and a veteran of the Marine Corps during World War II, went to register to vote, he was told by the county registrar, Eloy Garley, that he could not register since he was an Indian living on a reservation.Trujillo was incensed. He brought suit against the county registrar and won. (Trujillo v. Garley) Felix Cohen, who had written the definitive book on Indian law, the Handbook of Federal Indian Law, was Trujillo’s attorney. Finally, in 1948, Indians in New Mexico could vote for the first time. Trujillo and Cohen became friends and worked on other issues of civil rights in New Mexico and in the South.The case also debunked the myth that Indians did not pay taxes. The only taxes Indians did not pay, the court said, was taxes on the land the government held in trust for them. They had to pay sales taxes, income taxes, and all other taxes.

What is one way immigrants in the united states in the late 1800's try to assimilate?
lara [203]
There are three major reasons why people immigrate to other countries: work, love and war. In the late 1800s, immigrants in the United States tried to assimilate with the current populations by learning to speak English and adopting current American cultures and traditions. This is known as the process of Americanization. The idea is that immigrants end up sharing the "American" values, customs and beliefs. The idea behind Americanization is that people who share common values and ideals will contribute to a common cause or goal. This is also known as patriotism.

Five methods of nomination used today include:
vovikov84 [41]

The five correct items are:

convention

caucus

direct primary

petition

announcement

Those are the means by which candidates enter the nomination process for public elections.   The two terms that don't fit are "inheritance" and "promotion."   An inheritance-based system would be like the old arrangements of monarchs or nobles, where someone took over the throne or provincial government simply because he was the son of the previous king or lord.  A promotion-based system would mean that persons advanced to positions of public office not through democratic election processes, but by being promoted internally within the government.  For some staff positions in government that does happen, and then those are appointed positions rather than elected positions.  But for elected positions in the government, democratic processes are followed.  Candidates for office must at least announce their candidacy.  They may need a certain number of petition signatures to get their names on the official election ballot.  Or they need to get on the ballot through preliminary steps by the larger political parties, such as caucuses, direct primaries, and the conventions of the parties.
