Answer:

C. African Americans.

African Americans could not be regarded as citizens or people of the state/ country.

Explanation:

The 1857 Dred Scott v. Sandford Supreme Court decision involved Dred Scott, a slave who had been taken to a slave-free state of Illinois and the Wisconsin area and then brought back again to his master's old state in Missouri. Claiming that he deserved to be deemed a free man, the court decided that the move did not mean he is free.

Pertaining to this case, the Supreme Court decided that no slave, meaning no African American can be given legal citizenship status. This means that an African American cannot become a citizen of the state he resides in.

Excerpt from civil Disobedience
liq [111]

Answer:

According to the article "Excerpt from civil Disobedience" we can say that it is fair that we do not get involved in problems and disadvantages that are happening in the world, but for that we need to stop exploring each other, so that those who are stuck in these problems can fight your own fight.

Explanation:

"Civil Disobedience" is the most famous work by Henry David Thoreau, where he opposes the practice of paying taxes to governments. In "Excerpt from civil Disobedience" we can see that Thoreau says that no man has a responsibility to solve the problems that exist in the world. This reinforces the idea that nobody has a duty to pay taxes, because the government does not have this responsibility and if it does not fulfill it.

However, Thoreau says that these problems exist and that no one can be prevented from solving them. However, it is necessary that people who are involved in the problem are not exploited or prevented from fighting to solve these problems. We can see elements that serve as a basis for this argument, in our personal life, since we could overcome many of our problems if the State gave us full freedom to do so, instead of being obliged to finance problems of which we are not part.

Why did the United States and Soviet Union engage in the Space Race? In your view, we’re the benefits of the Space race worth th
exis [7]
Hey there!

To understand the Space Race, you must first understand the Cold War.

The Cold War wasn't really a War - in some views, it was just a competition. The US and the USSR were the largest superpowers the world had ever known - they had the most weapons, money, and power, ever. The US and the USSR were engaged in an arms race initially and were each racing to get the most nuclear weapons.

That was until the Soviet Union launched the Sputnik. The US could not let the USSR get control of space, and in 1969, launched the Apollo 11 to combat the USSR who had recently put the first man in space - by putting the first man on the Moon.

In my opinion, even though it was a competition, it was worth it. Think about it- would we have sent a man to the Moon afterward without all that pressure? Even nowadays, we would not have discovered what we already discovered without it and would not have sent any more rockets. Despite the cost, it has benefitted and will continue to benefit us in the long run.

Hope this helps!
