Mary Church Terrell (1863-1954)

Women gained the right to vote in 1920 with the passage of the 19 Amendment. On Election Day in 1920, millions of American women exercised this right for the first time. For almost 100 years, women (and men) had been fighting for women’s suffrage: They had made speeches, signed petitions, marched in parades and argued over and over again that women, like men, deserved all of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. The leaders of this campaign—women like Susan B. Anthony, Alice Paul, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone and Ida B. Wells—did not always agree with one another, but each was committed to the enfranchisement of all American women.

What was the effect of the supreme court

krek1111 [17]

The Supreme Court plays a very important role in our constitutional system of government. First, as the highest court in the land, it is the court of last resort for those looking for justice. Second, due to its power of judicial review, it plays an essential role in ensuring that each branch of government recognizes the limits of its own power. Third, it protects civil rights and liberties by striking down laws that violate the Constitution. Finally, it sets appropriate limits on democratic government by ensuring that popular majorities cannot pass laws that harm and/or take undue advantage of unpopular minorities. In essence, it serves to ensure that the changing views of a majority do not undermine the fundamental values common to all Americans, i.e., freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and due process of law.

Which best describes what France’s Old Regime was?

ElenaW [278]

Ancien regime or the old order was a social and political system of France prior to the revolution of France(1789). Under the old regime, the king of France was an absolute despot and had centralized power in the imperial administration. The political system of France was comprised of the 3 estates which served Clergy on the first stage, Nobility on the second and the Others on the third estate. Thus the old regime came to an end with the French revolution of 1789, when the revolutionaries abolished the hereditary Monarchy and the system of French nobility.
