In this quote, Thurgood Marshall is talking about the time between the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation (which was supposed to free slaves in the Confederacy) to the Brown vs. Board case which ruled that "separate but equal" is unconstitutional.

The reason he brings up these two events is because it shows how little progress American society has changed in these 90 years. Even though African-Americans were supposed to be free citizens after the Emancipation Proclamation, they were still treated as second class citizens in the US. They were constantly targets of voter discrimination, violence, and prejudice.

Las propuestas del vizconde de Ouro Preto apuntaban a preservar el régimen monárquico en el país, pero fueron vetadas por la mayoría de diputados de tendencia conservadora que controlaban la Cámara General. El 15 de noviembre de 1889, la república fue proclamada por los militares positivistas apoyados por la élite agraria resentida por no haber sido compensada por la abolición de la esclavitud.

Explain how gridlock demonstrates a key characteristic of the US government as envisioned by the framers
pogonyaev

Answer:

Gridlock is also called political stalemate, it is a situation when  there is difficulty in passing a laws if it doesn't satisfy the needs of the people.

Grid lock occurs due to the filibuster rule, according to it there must be a super majority of 60 senators to bring a bill to the Senate floor. It happens when the control of both houses of presidency and Congress is split between rival parties.

It prevents the government from enforcing arbitrary laws, US was founded by rebelling against the tyrannical rule of British Crown. The framers wanted a provision to prevent government from becoming tyrannical. Gridlock enforces the concept of limited government and protects the individual rights and liberties from government encroachment by passing arbitrary laws.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

i don't know what the statements are but, i think the answer is B) Neither side could win an advantage.

Explanation:

Korean War was a war fought on the Korean Peninsula from 1950 to 1953 after troops from communist North Korea, armed with Soviet weapons, invaded democratic South Korea, prompting the United States and the United Nations to send forces to support South Korea and fight to unify the Korean Peninsula into one democratic nation, which in turn prompted China to join the war on North Korea's side; at war's end, the peninsula remained divided into two nations

-The war began when North Korean troops armed with Soviet weapons invaded South Korea. Their aim was to unite all of Korea under communist rule. Truman, viewing the invasion as a test of American will, ordered U.S. forces to help South Korea repel the invaders. Truman turned to the United Nations for support. A UN resolution condemned the North Korean invasion and called on member states to aid South Korea.
