ANSWER: A) First Amendment
EXPLANATION: The first amendment of the constitution gives people the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. It specifically prohibits Congress from curtailing the right of the people. This is often overlooked by the citizens and are taken for granted.

Answer and Explanation :
The Dred Scott Decision outraged abolitionists, who saw the Supreme Court's ruling as a way to stop debate about slavery in the territories. The divide between North and South over slavery grew and culminated in the secession of southern states from the Union and the creation of the Confederate States of America.
The 1920’s was marked by drastic events in the U.S economy.
After a decade of very high economic growth and boom in manufacturing (the
Roaring Twenties), the Wall Street stock market began to slide down on October
24, 1929, and by November stock prices lost as much as 40% of its value. The
drop was caused by overproduction of agricultural produce. The resulting
oversupply caused farmer’s incomes to drop. People also purchased stocks using
borrowed money,which contributed further to the slide.
