Explanation:
On July 28, 1868, the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified. The amendment grants citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States" which included former slaves who had just been freed after the Civil War. The amendment had been rejected by most Southern states but was ratified by the required three-fourths of the states. Known as the "Reconstruction Amendment," it forbids any state to deny any person "life, liberty or property, without due process of law" or to "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Other groups tried to use the 14th Amendment to further their causes. Women attempted to use it to proclaim their right to vote, and African Americans tried to use it as well. On May 18, 1896, the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson that "separate but equal" facilities were considered sufficient to satisfy the 14th Amendment. It wasn't until May 17, 1954, however, that the Court reversed the Plessy decision, bringing the era of government-sanctioned segregation to an end.
It was the 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, which finally gave African Americans the right to vote. It states that "the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." In practice, however, it took almost 100 more years and the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to remove barriers such as poll taxes, literacy tests, and intimidation that prevented African Americans and other people of color from freely exercising their right to vote. Note that the 15th amendment makes no mention of sex. It was not until the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920 that women were explicitly given the vote.
Answer:
<u><em>True</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>The Telecommunications Act of 1996</em> was the first act to overhaul the telecommunication law. The act was passed to let anyone enter the communications business, to allow competition in communications business and implement single layer of regulation in the federal level.
It was passed by congress in January 1996, and president Bill Clinton signed it in February 1996. It allowed the companies who were serving the local market to enter the long distance market.
This deregulation broke the monopolies within the local exchange areas. The new regulations forced the local barriers to share the communications facilities with the competitors and ensured that each company was treated in an equitable and fair manner.
Option B is correct. <u>Good faith</u> is a complete defense to fraud as it is inconsistent with the defendant's intent to defraud or willfulness, purposes essential to the charges.
About Fraud
Fraud is a criminal offence as well as a civil tort. Allegations of fraud in civil litigation may be based on a negligently made or intentionally made factual misrepresentation. In order for a remark to be intentionally untrue, the speaker must have either known it was wrong or been careless about its veracity. Additionally, it must have been the speaker's intent for the listener to rely on the assertion. Then the promise must have been reasonably relied upon by the hearer, and that reasonable reliance must also have resulted in harm.
