Plessy v. Ferguson- basically Louisiana passed a law saying the black people need it separate car when traveling on train not on the same as a white person.
Plessy was 1/8 African descent (was born free and other 7/8 was of European descent ) and under Louisiana rule he had to sit on a black car. eventually he sat on white only car and got into trouble, just like Rosa Parks. and he was eventually got arrested and tried.
Judicial Review is the power of the U.S. Supreme Court to review laws and actions from Congress and the President to determine whether they are constitutional. Each branch limits each other so they all have equal power.
The correct answer is self-government. When George Washington was elected the first president under the Constitution, he had a speech at his first inauguration. On that speech, he talked about what he believed America was about. He expressed his concerns about the model of government that was created on that Constitution. He says that this model could only be successful with<em> self-government</em>.<em> Self-government means the ability to legislate for itself as a nation, the ability to provide peace for it's people, to have a strong defense</em>. Washington expressed that self-government meant above all, all people united as one and governing themselves for themselves as a nation.
It depends on what you understand from tolerance. It is true that the Ottoman administration usually did not care about ethno-religious groups’ internal affairs, and left them alone to a large extent. Nevertheless, non-Muslims were second-class citizens. Heterodox Muslims, such as the Alevis, the Druze and Alawites, were collectively considered to be heretics and they were not recognised as a group of people, and thus were deprived of any rights. Sometimes this utter intolerance toward ‘heretic’ Muslim groups extended to include many Sufi branches of Islam (especially during Kadizadeliler’s reign of terror) many of which would be considered mainstream by many Turks today,
Although the Millet system is celebrated for being tolerant, it caused these groups to have isolated modi vivendi. Armenians, Jews, Greeks and and Muslims had separate quarters, separate schools, separate legal systems and separate ethnarchs (like the Chief Rabbi or the Greek Orthodox Patriarch). This social and legal division prevented the Empire to assert a sense of “Ottoman Citizenship” in the late 19th century, and many millets wanted to have a separate country of their own. This resulted in many wars in the Balkans in late 19th and early 20th centuries, and of an Armenian sepaor the U.S.
ratist revolt supported by Russia in 1915 which the nationalist junta at the time (the C.U.P) used as a pretext for starting the Armenian genocide.
Today, Turkey is religiously very homogenous as non-Muslim minorities were driven out throughout the decades following the commencement of WWI.
So, “tolerance” was not always there (we’re talking about a 600 year-old empire, mind you) and it didn’t resemble modern open societies like Canada or the U.S.
i hope this helped bc it sure did take a while. lol
D Mehmed II was the sultan of the Ottoman Empire at the time
