eimsori [14]

Answer:

Get the British to revoke their Orders in Council, which placed harsh trade restrictions on the Americans.

Get the British to stop the impressment of American sailors into the Royal Navy.

Defend Americans' rights to freedom of the seas .

Explanation:

The Impressment of Sailors

Impressment of sailors was the operation of Britain's Royal Navy of sending officers to board American ships, examine its crew, and seize the sailors that were found guilty of being runaways from British ships.

occurrences of impressment are often recognized as one of the causes of the War of 1812. And while it is true that impressment occurred on a regular basis in the first decade of the 19th century, the exercises was not always seen as a awfully significant problem.

It was widely known that vast numbers of British sailors did abandon from British warships, frequently because of the hard regulations and miserable surroundings endured by seamen in the Royal Navy.

The impressment of sailors was definitely one of the causes of the War of 1812.

Trade Restrictions of the Americans

With the early Englishmen that settled in Jamestown, Virginia, and Plymouth, Massachusetts, England did little to direct their trade. As the colonies got more prosperous, however, England began to enforce its mercantile ideologies. A string of laws were passed in 1660s known as the Navigation Acts. They were established to make the Americans depend on the manufactured products of England. The colonists, of course, were expected to buy more from England than they sold and pay the gap(difference) in gold and silver. Therefore, England forbade all non-English ships from trading with colonies.

Freedom of the seas

A challenge to the discipline of freedom of the seas arose soon after the conclusion of the revolutionary war. In 1784, American commercial shipping in the Mediterranean, lacking the shielding of he British navy, came under attack from the North African Kingdoms along what was known as the Barbary Coast.

EXCEPT

The federalists opposed the war, they viewed the war as way to further the interests of the Republicans. The federalists also feared that the war would through the nation into the arms of the Napoleon.

Compared with the decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, this opinion refutes the doctrine of “separate but equal.” supports the doctri

nasty-shy [4]

Plessy was a citizen who claimed to be seventh eights Caucasian and only one eighth Black. He was imprisoned and trial in a criminal court after an incident that took place while in New Orleans, in 1896, when he tried to board a car designated for hite people. He was denied a seat in the car for white people and urged to take a seat in the car for black people. As Plessy refused on the basis of his predominantly Caucasian race, the train staff arrested him, and then he was put in the parish jail. He was charged with criminal counts, but Plessy requested his case to be presented to the Supreme Court for he deemed there had been violations of the Thirteen and Fourteenth Amendments (abolition of slavery and equal treatment).

The Supreme Court's opinion stated that the treatment based on "equal but separated" did not conflict with the Thirteenth Amendment, for this amendment only protected citizens from being enslaved or forced to involuntary servitude, and no conflict was found with the Fourteenth Amendment since it enforced equality, but it did not specify under which terms. Therefore, the decision of the Supreme Court supported the doctrine "equal but separate" and segregation as well.

Why don't more people vote today?

Amiraneli [1.4K]

They are more likely to look for information about politics. And they are more likely to have friends who vote. People without a college degree, he says, are less likely to seek out political information. They also are less likely to have friends who care about politics or talk about voting.
