Answer:
1. b) The 14th amendment enabled the government to reinterpret the purpose and usage of the Bill of Rights.
2. c) The Supreme Court used incorporation because states were violating the Bill of Rights.
3. b) Incorporation binds states to the Bill of Rights rather than the Federal Government.
4. c) "When the 14th Amendment was ratified...., it placed limits on the kinds of laws states could pass"
5. d) The incorporation of the 14th amendment may not benefit all Americans equally.
Explanation:
- The Supreme Court has only adopted certain Bill of Rights modifications. They haven't protected all rights against governmental intrusion, so they're not done. C explains the Supreme Court's incorporation, so it's the most correct. The Supreme Court successfully utilized incorporation to stop state Bill of Rights violations.
- In general, incorporation has had a positive impact on American civil rights. As a result, it has ensured that both state and federal governments are held to the same standard in protecting the rights of individuals.
- State and municipal governments were compelled to defend "most liberties included in the Bill of Rights" under the 14th Amendment, which was originally intended for recently freed slaves. There was no need that states comply by the constraints it put on the federal government, as stated above. All of this is accurate. There was a Supreme Court decision that had a major influence on our federalist system that is referenced in this quotation about incorporation. A state's power is limited when it comes to federally protected rights when it comes to enacting an unlawful legislation.
To be honest I don't know sorry bro i'm only in elementary school
Correct answer: CHINA
Context/details:
In 1931, Japan invaded and occupied Manchuria, the northeaster region of China. The invasion followed an explosion that blew up a portion of railroad tracks near the city of Mukden. (Thus it became known as "The Mukden Incident.") The railway was owned by the Japanese, who had invested in development in the region. Japan blamed Chinese nationalists for the explosion, but others thought the bombing may have been done by Japanese military personnel to provide Japan with an excuse for invading and occupying Manchurian territory. The Japanese declared the region to be a new country, independent of China. which the Japanese called Manchuko. In reality, the territory was not independent but was controlled by the occupying Japanese army.
At a meeting of the League of Nations in February, 1933, the League voted on a report that officially laid blame for events in Manchuria on Japan. The report said that Japan should withdraw its troops from Manchuria and restore the country to the governing authority of China. When the vote was taken regarding the report, on February 24, 1933, every nation represented in the League voted in approval except for Japan. After the 42 to 1 vote, the leader of Japan's delegation at the League, Yosuke Matsuoka, said: "The Japanese government is obliged to feel that they have now reached the limit of their endeavors to co-operate with the league regarding Chinese-Japanese differences. It is a source of profound regret and disappointment to the Japanese government that the draft report has now been adopted by this assembly. ... Japan finds it impossible to accept the report adopted by the assembly, and she has taken pains to point out that the recommendations in the report cannot be considered such as would secure peace in that part of the world."
Japan officially withdrew from the League of Nations on that day. In leaving the assembly hall, Matsuoka said, "This means the withdrawal of our delegation from the League. We are not coming back." (Reported by United Press International, February 24, 1933.)
