Answer: The Department of Homeland Security
Explanation:
The answer is: true! Jefferson and Burr were both candidates from the Democratic-Republican Party. This election took place prior to the institution of primaries and thus both Jefferson and Burr went up against the incumbent, John Adams, and Charles Pinckney. At this time, whoever secured the most electoral votes would win and whoever came in second would serve as the Vice President.
This election took place prior to the passage of the 12th Amendment and thus electors within the Electoral College were able to cast <em>two </em>votes. A plan was hatched to ensure that Jefferson won one more electoral vote than Burr, but the plan was botched. The election then went to the House of Representatives where it was finally decided that Jefferson be president and Burr his vice president.
Answer:
Since the Civil Rights Movement, we have made strides to remove redlining, segregation laws, and other errors in diversity movements of the past. An example of a growth since the Civil Rights Movement would be the workplace discrimination act, stating that businesses may not turn down possible employees due to race, disability, age, gender, or ethnicity. However, in terms of race, we still have far to go. In criminal justice reform, in stereotyping, and in the display we have of diversity in media today are just a few places in which race reforms are needed. For example, there are very few kids shows which include a black character as the main character. This is harmful, as black children grow up seeing white people as the heroes and black people as the background characters, never the active participants in the protagonist story line. Education reforms in inner cities have been proven to greatly aid black success as lower income areas tend to attract teachers which are not as prepared as those in higher income, traditionally white neighborhoods thanks to the remnants of redlining in the Jim Crowe era. We have removed obvious race problems since the Civil Rights movement such as the poll tax, grandfather clause, and the literacy tests, but this is the tip of the iceberg in removing underlying systematic oppression which is not actively put in place today to harm those of non-Caucasian groups.
