Which statement best summarizes the result of the withdrawal of federal protection during Reconstruction in South Carolina? Once
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

After federal troops left South Carolina, old Confederate military units were reformed under different names.

Explanation:

Following the withdrawal of federal troops from the southern states of the United States after the end of Reconstruction in 1877, the Democrats regained power in the south. Thus, violations of the rights of African Americans were reinstated, such as the literacy tests that prohibited them from voting, or the Jim Crow Laws that took away a large number of civil and political rights.

Furthermore, in the southern states, anti-African-American armed movements began to take shape, made up of former Confederate soldiers who, through violence, sought to subdue these people, with the aim of expelling them from these territories. These groups carried out their activities clandestinely, to avoid the control of the federal government, but they had the full support of the democratic state governments. Thus, groups such as the Klu Klux Klan or the Red Shirts began to carry out paramilitary and terrorist activities against African-Americans and, to a lesser extent, Republican voters.

How was the Vice President was initially chosen during Washington's<br> term?
rodikova [14]

In 1789, the first presidential election, George Washington was unanimously elected president of the United States. With 69 electoral votes, Washington won the support of each participating elector. No other president since has come into office with a universal mandate to lead.

Between December 15, 1788 and January 10, 1789, the presidential electors were chosen in each of the states. On February 4, 1789, the Electoral College convened. Ten states cast electoral votes: Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. New York, however, failed to field a slate of electors. North Carolina and Rhode Island were unable to participate because they had not yet ratified the Constitution. After a quorum was finally established, the Congress counted and certified the electoral vote count on April 6.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The Arizona Leathernecks is a Motorcycle Club formed in 2000 by exmarines who share a bond forged by a love for their Marine Corps, families, brotherhood, and their love of riding motorcycles. They believe themselves to be the defenders of the constitution and as such honor the ideals of democracy, fairness, faith, and freedom. They believe that these values along with the basic concept of right and wrong are the cornerstones in building Marines and it is these concepts and values that their members are held to, and that serve as the core of their clubs beliefs and By-Laws.

2. Federalists argued that the Constitution did not need a bill of rights, because the people and the states kept any powers not given to the federal government. Anti-Federalists held that a bill of rights was necessary to safeguard individual liberty.

3. Patrick Henry

4. The Bill of Rights consists of 10 amendments that explicitly guarantee certain rights and protections to US citizens by limiting the power of the federal government. The First Amendment prevents the government from interfering with the freedoms of speech, peaceable assembly, and exercise of religion.

5. In July 2005, the Westboro Baptist Church declared its intention to protest at the memorial service of Carrie French in Boise, Idaho. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that hate speech is legally protected free speech under the First Amendment, hence, hate speech is not regulated due to the robust right to free speech found in the American Constitution.

6. Brandeis reasoned that the rights of free speech and assembly are fundamental, yet they are not absolute. Their exercise is subject to restriction when free speech would produce, or is intented to produce, a clear imminent danger of some substantive evil to the society.

7. Gideon was charged with breaking and entering with the intent to commit a misdemeanor, which is a felony under Florida law. At trial, Gideon appeared in court without an attorney. In open court, he asked the judge to appoint counsel for him because he could not afford an attorney. The trial judge denied Gideon’s request because Florida law only permitted appointment of counsel for poor defendants charged with capital offenses.

8. After the Miranda decision, the nation's police departments were required to inform arrested persons or suspects of their rights prior to custodial interrogation. Such information is called a Miranda warning.

9. Jessica Ahlquist an activist and public speaker filed a lawsuit in 2012 against Cranston High School West, where she was a student, to remove a religious prayer from its auditorium.

10. Thomas Jefferson

11. The First Amendment has two provisions concerning religion: the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause. The Establishment clause prohibits the government from "establishing" a religion. The Free Exercise Clause protects citizens' right to practice their religion as they please, so long as the practice does not run afoul of a "public morals" or a "compelling" governmental interest.
