History

UNO [17]3 years ago

President Grover Cleveland was the only US President to serve in two non-consecutive terms (From 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897). During his presidency, he vetoed a bill who proposed granting pensions to Civil War Union veterans, as well as the Dependent Pension Bill who would grant a pension to anyone serving in the military for more than 90 days. He argued that many claims would be fraudulent. 

President Cleveland assumed office during a critical time for the country, as it was passing through a severe economic depression. These decisions of vetoing pensions followed his policy of austerity.

How does the “Bill of Rights “ reflect the mood, values and history of the American colonists? Identify three specific examples.
JulsSmile [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The three examples of how the “Bill of Rights “ reflected the mood, values, and history of the American colonists are the following.

The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments of the Constitution of the United States.

1.- Freedom of speech. An important component of the first amendment is the right of US citizens to express their opinions. Colonists really wanted to have a voice and be heard.

2.- Freedom of religion. Another important component of the first amendment. There were colonists in Massachusetts, for instance, that came to the North American territory to freely profess and practice their religion as was the case of the Puritans in the Plymouth colony.

3.- Freedom of Assemble. It was very important for the colonists to gather together in their homes or public places to talk about the problems and issues they had with the monarchy of Great Britain.
