1 answer:

6 0

The poor citizens of New York City responded to the draft laws by instigating riots that lasted for four days.

They were in vehement opposition to the military draft acts that allow men from wealthy families to pay a certain amount so avoid being called into service. Also, African-Americans are not considered to be American citizens; thus, they are exempted from being called into military service. Because of this, those who can't afford to pay are called to military service leaving their families to fend for themselves during a time of uncertainty and hardship.

What was the dominant model of federalism starting with the new deal?

prisoha [69]

Cooperative Federalism - This is the model of federalism that stressed federal-state partnership in addressing social problems. This was pioneered by the New Deal that formulated state-federal solutions to the Great Depression of 1929-1940. The Democratic Party under President Delano Roosevelt formulated the New Deal after the policies of President Herbert Hoover of non-interventionism into state affairs by the federal government failed to yield any results in remedying the Great Depression.
