(Favorable slogan) Virtue, mission, and destiny under God.
This slogan summarizes the three main points used by the advocates of the “Manifest Destiny” doctrine (virtue of the American people, a mission to change the “Old World” and the manifest destiny under God’s guidance). Considering the thesis of the “American exceptionality”, the country had the legitimacy to expand itself while spreading the values of freedom and democracy.
(Unfavorable slogan) Don’t plant in America’s soil the seed of imperialism! Say no to the right of conquest!
Many were critic with the “Manifest Destiny” doctrine and considered it to be belligerent and contrary to the Republican values. It constituted a call for aggression which was, according to their point of view, a contradiction with the democratic founding values of the country.
CERTAIN RULING POWER OVER TERRITORY
Answer:
a. The Equal Protection Clause is a clause from the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The clause provides that "nor shall any State [...] deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws".
Its purpose is to apply substantially more constitutional restrictions against the states than had applied before the Civil War. Hence, in Shaw v. Reno, 509 U.S. 630 (1993), Supreme Court held that redistricting based on race must be held to a standard of strict scrutiny under the equal protection clause while bodies doing redistricting must be conscious of race to the extent that they must ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act.
While in the case of Easley v. Cromartie, 532 U.S. 234 (2001), Supreme Court held that the State violated the Equal Protection Clause in drawing the 1997 boundaries was based on clearly erroneous findings.
b. In the case of Easley v. Cromartie, an appeal from the decision given in hunt v. Cromartie was filed in the supreme court of the United States by Easley. In hunt v. Cromartie, the court held that the legislature of North Carolina did not use the factor of race while drawing the boundaries in the twelfth congressional district,1992. It was held by the court that the legislature did not violate the equal protection clause of the constitution and no evidence to prove that legislature set its boundaries on a racial basis rather than a political basis.
In Easley v Cromartie the appeal was that drawing the boundaries for voting violated the equal protection clause of the constitution. The supreme court of the United States held that the decision of the district court is erroneous because it actually relied upon racial factors and this is not in the interest of the state.
In Shaw v. Reno the court concluded that the plan of North Carolina tried to segregate the voters on the basis of race.
