Answer: Use of state militia to quell insurrection.

Explanation:

In acting quickly to supress an insurrection that threatened the unity of the United States by the use of state militia, President Washington set a precedent that would eventually become law with the Insurrection Act.

By this precedent, Presidents are empowered to raise state militias to quell rebellion if normal civilian judicial procedure fails and after they have ordered the people involved to disperse.

This precedent has been used by quite a number of presidents including Ulysses Grant, John Kennedy and Dwight Eisenhower as they attempted to enforce laws calling for equality.

Why was the airplane invented the time it did? Why not 10 years later?

Rufina [12.5K]

While many believe that the airplane was invented by the Wright brothers in Kitty Hawk, N.C., the first man to fly was New Zealander Richard Pearse in 1902, eight months before the Wright brothers first flew. Pearse, according to witnesses, flew a length of 50 to 400 yards in a heavier-than-air machine. Pearse's aircraft was the first to use proper ailerons, which allowed the wings to warp and turn the aircraft. Though many credit the invention of airplanes to the Wright brothers, Richard Pearse never reported his inventions because he didn't know there was any interest in flying.

Though the Wright brothers tested many gliders in the early 1900s, none of them counted as an actual aircraft, and the brothers didn't achieve flight until late 1903 with their first plane, the Flyer I. The craft weighed over 600 pounds, and Orville Wright was the first pilot. The craft remained airborne for 12 seconds and traveled a little over 120 feet.

Why were civil rights leaders concerned with the voting rights of african americans?.

natka813 [3]

Answer:

When Reconstruction ended in 1877, states across the South implemented new laws to restrict the voting rights of African Americans. These included onerous requirements of owning property, paying poll taxes, and passing literacy or civics exams. Many African Americans who attempted to vote were also threatened physically or feared losing their jobs. One of the major goals of the Civil Rights Movement was to register voters across the South in order for African Americans to gain political power. Most of the interviewees in the Civil Rights History Project were involved in voter registration drives, driving voters to the polls, teaching literacy classes for the purposes of voter registration, or encouraging local African Americans to run as candidates.
