History

Answer:

Dred Scott v. Sandford, decided by the U.S. Supreme Court on March 6, 1857, declared that Black people, whether free or enslaved, could not be American citizens and were thus constitutionally unable to sue for citizenship in the federal courts. The Dred Scott decision thus increased tensions and pushed the country closer toward the outbreak of the American Civil War (1861–65). The decision also brought about the destruction of the reputation of Chief Justice Taney, who is remembered now almost solely for the blatantly proslavery decision he wrote and for his demeaning comments about African Americans.

Why would a defendant ask for a trial to be moved to another location
kozerog [31]

Someone accused of a crime generally has the right to a fair trial by an impartial jury. But a defendant doesn’t have the right to a trial in the county of his choice. Circumstances that make juror impartiality unlikely can, however, arise. In those circumstances, defense attorneys often “move” to have the trial take place somewhere else. (In most states, the prosecution can’t request a change of venue.)

Some state constitutions address the right to a change of venue, but in most states, the issue is left to statutes or court rules. These laws and rules explain how to request a change of venue, and may impose deadlines to file the requisite motion.

Name two ways in which World War II helped set the stage for the civil rights movement.
sweet [91]

Answer:

World War II paved the way for this movement in various ways. First, during the war, there was a scarcity of white male employees due to the demand for soldiers. This resulted in a large number of new work opportunities for African Americans. Second, over 700,000 African Americans served in the military.
