Republicans feared that the Supreme Court might use its power of judicial review to declare the Civil Rights Act unconstitutiona

l. In the Dred Scott decision of 1857, the Court had ruled that African Americans were not citizens. To avoid a similar ruling, Republicans proposed the Fourteenth Amendment. It defined citizens as "all persons born or naturalized in the United States." (The amendment did not apply to most Native Americans.) It guaranteed citizens "equal protection of the laws" and forbade states to "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law." Thus, states could not legally discriminate against a citizen on unreasonable grounds, such as race. The Fourteenth Amendment was proposed in 1866.
Use the passage to answer the question.
Reread the paragraph from the text about the Fourteenth Amendment: According to this passage, how did the Dred Scott decision help inspire the Fourteenth Amendment?

A. The amendment was meant to ban slavery, which the Dred Scott decision supported.
B. The Dred Scott decision gave the Supreme Court the power to review laws, which the amendment ended.
C. The Dred Scott decision gave citizenship to Native Americans, but the amendment gave states the right to decide who is a citizen.
D. The Dred Scott decision declared that African Americans were not citizens, so the amendment defined citizenship to include them.

Explain how the reformation led to political conflict and warfare during the 1500s.
slega [8]
Many people believed that the Church needed to be reformed.  In the 1500s Kings such as Charles V had a sole political strategy: centralisation. However, there were people who do not agree with this. So, the reformation led to warfare because of different ideas by the ruler and his people.

shusha [124]

The Harlem Reinaissance was a cultural, intellectual and social movement developed in the decade of the 1920s in New York. It importance relies on the fact that it was considered the rebirth of African American cultural expressions. The so-called negro culture acquired great popularity.

Through the movement, African Americans who participated on it felt empowered again after a very long time, and found the strength to fight against constant discriminations and racist manifestations in everyday life.
