France and Spain joined America and declared war on England
they were both about land. In King Philip’s War the Englishmen were intruding on the Indian’s land. In Bacon’s Rebellion indentured servants did not get the land they agreed upon with the lords, since the land belonged to the Native Americans. In both of these situations the colonists tried to justify their actions by saying they were robbed of land.
Answer:
B. Suspicious.
Explanation:
Since the times of the First Continental Congress, there were debates about the role and the weight of a central government. Colonists appreciated self-rule and large autonomy and many people, both before and after the peace with Britain in 1783, were afraid of creating a strong central government; some even feared that a too powerful president could become a tyrant.
Plessy was a citizen who claimed to be seventh eights Caucasian and only one eighth Black. He was imprisoned and trial in a criminal court after an incident that took place while in New Orleans, in 1896, when he tried to board a car designated for hite people. He was denied a seat in the car for white people and urged to take a seat in the car for black people. As Plessy refused on the basis of his predominantly Caucasian race, the train staff arrested him, and then he was put in the parish jail. He was charged with criminal counts, but Plessy requested his case to be presented to the Supreme Court for he deemed there had been violations of the Thirteen and Fourteenth Amendments (abolition of slavery and equal treatment).
The Supreme Court's opinion stated that the treatment based on "equal but separated" did not conflict with the Thirteenth Amendment, for this amendment only protected citizens from being enslaved or forced to involuntary servitude, and no conflict was found with the Fourteenth Amendment since it enforced equality, but it did not specify under which terms. Therefore, the decision of the Supreme Court supported the doctrine "equal but separate" and segregation as well.
Answer:
Political factions or parties began to form during the struggle over ratification of the federal Constitution of 1787. Friction between them increased as attention shifted from the creation of a new federal government to the question of how powerful that federal government would be.
