The King's family saved his life and spared him the death penalty.

Alberta Williams King, the mother of Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed during a church service by Marcus Wayne Chenault six years after the association of her son (1974).  She was 69 years old.

Her killer was a 23-year-old, college drop-out, black man from Ohio. He stated that he shot Mrs. King because she was a Christian and all Christians 'were his enemies'. His original target was Martin Luther King Sr., but he aimed at his wife because she was seated closer to him.

Chenault was sentenced to death but it was because of the King's family that his life was spared.  The Kings are firmly opposed to the death penalty so they pushed for his sentence to be changed into life in prison. Chanault died in prison some years later after suffering a stroke.

In the early 1900s, what major obstacle did labor unions face in achieving their goals? Workers opposed labor unions because the
zhuklara [117]

The federal government supported the interests of big businesses over the interests of labor unions.

Unions became popular during the Gilded Age in the US during an industrial boom. The government supported the owners of business during this period and practiced free market capitalism.

During the Gilded Age, the government took a policy of free-market or laissez-faire capitalism. This means the government did not interfere or create regulation of the economic system. They tended to support the practices of corporations because they were wealthy and had power. Unions demanded higher wages, government regulation, and better working conditions. All of these demands went against the thinking of the time and would have cost the government money and the favor of the powerful in the country.

Which law would be considered unconstitutional on the basis of First Amendment guarantees?
sweet [91]

<em>The correct answer is D.  </em>

<em>It would be unconstitutional any law that prohibits any religious leader on electing to government office. This is because the First Amendment protects the right to freedom of expression from government interference, and a candidate needs this freedom to say publicly what his or her goals are for a determined election. Furthermore, it would interfere with the right to peaceable assemble that the citizens would need to vote for a religious leader.  </em>
