Answer:

In the landmark civil rights case Hernandez v. Texas, the United States Supreme Court expanded human rights to Mexican Americans.

Explanation:

In the landmark civil rights case Hernandez v. Texas, the United States Supreme Court expanded human rights to Mexican Americans.

Peter Hernandez, a Mexican-American farm worker, was found guilty of the cold-blooded murder of Joe Espinosa in a bar in Edna, Texas, in 1951. Hernandez's pro bono defence team, which included Gustavo C. Garcia, challenged the decision, claiming that he was discriminated against because the jury that acquitted him did not include any Mexicans. They hoped to end "the widespread removal of people of Mexican descent from all forms of jury service in at least seventy counties in Texas," as they put it. They claimed that Hernandez had the right to a jury trial under the 14th Amendment, but the 14th Amendment was a special civil rights amendment at the time.

Were the American colonists justified in waging war and breaking away from Britain?
juin [17]
The American colonists were justified in doing this simply because their colonies had become too big and too important to be treated as a colony by the British. The British should have given the colonies some autonomy, but they did not. The analogy I like to use is that of teens and their parents. Parents have to give teens more independence as they grow up. If they do not, the teens may justifiably rebel.

The British were not, on the whole, brutal or oppressive towards the colonists. However, they would not let the colonists have much in the way of self-rule. This had been fine when the colonies were still small and economically weak. By the 1760s and 1770s, however, the colonies were "teenagers." They were big and strong enough to expect some autonomy. When Britain reacted to requests for autonomy by being more strict, the colonists were justified in rebelling.
