Describe how Black Codes were used to restrict the rights of newly freed African Americans.

History
1 answer:
Keith_Richards [23]2 years ago
6 0
Black codes were restrictive laws designed to limit the freedom of African Americans and ensure their availability as a cheap labor force after slavery was abolished during the Civil War. Under black codes, many states required Black people to sign yearly labor contracts; if they refused, they risked being arrested, fined and forced into unpaid labor.
Even as former enslaved people fought to assert their independence and gain economic autonomy during the earliest years of Reconstruction. While the codes granted certain freedoms to African Americans—including the right to buy and own property, marry, make contracts and testify in court (only in cases involving people of their own race)—their primary purpose was to restrict Black peoples’ labor and activity. Black people who broke labor contracts were subject to arrest, beating and forced labor, and apprenticeship laws forced many minors into unpaid labor for white planters.

How are cases presented to Supreme Court Justices?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

That depends on what you mean by "presented."

Cases are typically appealed to the US Supreme Court on a

petition for a writ of certiorari, which includes a legal

brief prepared by the attorney or attorneys for the petitioner

(similar to a plaintiff). The respondent(s)' attorney(s) may oppose

the petition with their own brief.

If the Court grants certiorari, the case may be scheduled for

oral argument, allowing each side 30 minutes to explain to

the justices why their client should prevail. During oral argument,

the justices ask questions about the case or relevant precedents

and points of law (although the justices are often better prepared

than the attorneys, already know the answers to the questions, and

may have already decided how they are going to vote after case

conference).
