Answer:

No. In an 8-1 decision authored by Chief Justice Morrison Waite, the Court concluded that the relevant sections of the Enforcement Act lacked the necessary, limiting language to qualify as enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment. The Chief Justice first stated that the Fifteenth Amendment "does not confer the right of suffrage upon any one," but "prevents the States, or the United States, however, from giving preference…to one citizen of the United States over another on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." In examining the language of the Enforcement Act, the Court noted that, while the first two sections of the act explicitly referred to race in criminalizing interference with the right to vote, the relevant third and fourth sections refer only to the "aforesaid" offense. According to the Court, this language does not sufficiently tailor the law to qualify as "appropriate legislation" under the Enforcement Clause of the Fifteenth Amendment.

How did agriculture change during the new imperialism?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: B. More food was grown to feed world populations.

Explanation:

The new imperialism represents the period from the end of the 19th century to the 20th century. European countries primarily "turn" to mass colonization of the African and Asian continents. It is a period of more intensive industrial development. As new economic opportunities open up, new markets are formed, the number of people involved in new imperialist currents increases. Therefore, it was necessary to produce a larger amount of food to meet all the market needs. Advances in science and technology have also led to an increase in population, so food demand has become higher.
