Whether amendments are first proposed by the states or Congress,three quarters of the states must ratify (or approve) them before they become a part of the Constitution—the law of the land. There are a total of 27 amendments. The first 10 comprise the Bill of Rights, which was ratified in 1791.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

I would say the one that is most right, is, "They extended the rights of citizenship to new groups."

Explanation:

Most of the amendments, from the 13th amendment to the 27th amendment were passed after the civil war, so that is incorrect.

The amendments also made it much easier for many groups of people to vote. In fact, many of the amendments center around allowing groups of people to vote, and have citizenship.

Which leads me to the answer which I believe is correct, which is, "They extended the rights of citizenship to new groups."

Explanation:

The Supreme Court applies Strict Scrutiny (a thorough inspection) to a government action when the government is believed to have infringed an individual right explicitly outlined in the Constitution or have discriminated against a minority class or a class that has experienced a history of discrimination due to race, alienage or national origin. Therefore, when the courts rely on the assumption that based on discriminatory behavior historically, actions by elected officials or bodies likely violate constitutional rights, they are using strict scrutiny.

What did the "New South" call for the South to do?​
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
<h2>The most notable New South initiative was the introduction of textile mills in the South for a modern economy grounded in factories.</h2>

Explanation: In south, slavery and the plantation methods took the place of sharecropping and tenant farming system in the South.  The labor had to share a portion of the grown crops with the landlord in order to pay for renting the land.

Under the sharecropping system, the landlord supplied the capital to buy the seed and equipment where the labor were supplied by shareholder.

In other tenancy farming arrangements the laborer took responsibility for purchasing seed and equipment.

The system did not allow the sharecropper to get ahead. The sharecroppers would not get rid of debt and could not leave. Slavery is the best word that describes Sharecropping.
