History

Answer:

‘The enthusiasm is indescribable, when the next drawing appears; it is veritable madness. You have to make your way through the crowd with your fists’.

James Gillray, painted by Charles Turner.

A powerful asset

Caricatures, once a social curiosity, had become powerful political tools. Some of the raunchier London images of French royalty played a major role in the downfall of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. Pitt’s Tory government was also acutely aware of the power of satire, and secretly put Gillray on the payroll from 1797.

One of the primary victims of Gillray’s etching knife was Napoleon, who was in no doubt about the potential potency of vindictive cartoons. On exile in Elba, he admitted Gillray’s caricatures were more damaging than a dozen generals.

‘Napoleon Crossing the Alps’, painted by Jacques-Louis David in 1805.

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Segregation of Mexican American children in schools would violate both California Law and Federal Law.

Explanation:

In Mendez vs Westminster, the Supreme Court ruled, 8 years before Brown vs Board of Education, that segregated schools were unequal. The Court primarily relied on evidence that Mexican American children were having problems to learn english because of lack of exposure.

In Brown vs Board of Education, the SCOTUS finally prohibited segregated schools accross the United States, because the Court considered that said schools were inherently unequal even if they equal in quality (facilities, teachers, materials), thus, they were a violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

Segregated schools are forbidden by law in any state.
