the Fieenth Amendment
the Civil Rights Act of 1964
the Nineteenth Amendment
the Voting Rights Act of 1965
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. . . .
The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations [seizures] on the part of man
toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this,
let facts be submitted to a candid [fair] world.
He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.
He has compelled her to submit to law in the formation of which she had no voice. . . .

We are much surprised to learn that opposition is being made to the proposition of
General Miles to remove portions of the Apache Indians from their present reservation in
Arizona. …For 200 years they (the Apaches) have been traditional enemies and at
constant war with the white race. It is true there are but few of them, less than 500 all
told, but there are enough, owing to the generally rugged and inaccessible character of
the country they infest and raid, and the isolated nature of the settlements, to keep a very
large scope of country in a state of ferment, and thereby to the development of
valuable mining, ranching and grazing properties upon which this country largely
depends for its prosperity.…The boys of today are the outlaws and the bandits—…the
Geronimos—of tomorrow. It has been so for generations and will continue so, if they
remain here, till they are exterminated; all the interests of these territories, in the
meantime languishing and their development paralyzed, by the presence of an element
that momentarily threatens destruction to our most important industries.

“The New Colossus”
by Emma Lazarus (1886)
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I li my lamp beside the golden door!”
Use the poem to answer the question.

In the opinion, Warren conceded that the Fourteenth Amendment was not originally intended to
prohibit school segregation. In the 1860s, public schools did not exist throughout the country, and
many children received little or no education. However, Warren wrote, by the middle of the twentieth
century, public education had become an essential part of each child’s personal, civic, and professional
development. The court declared that under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment, segregated public schools are inherently unequal and therefore forbidden by the
Constitution.
Use the summary of the ruling in the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education to answer the question.
13. Which of the following reasons does Chief Justice Warren cite for the changing interpretation of the Equal
Protection Clause?

Please let me know what needs t be fixed

Ms sue is cringe. Give us the answers to drink rocks. Boo

Doing my part to help is 100% right for Unit 3 Lesson 15 Honors American Gov. Practice (thank you sm!)

For 1, its the voting act of 1965

Doing my part to help is 100%. Keep in mind that after question 4 they are 1 delayed because question 5 on his list is actually part B instead of question 5

To answer the questions, let's analyze each of the excerpts provided:

1. In the first excerpt, Mr. Dearman describes a situation in which African Americans face obstacles, such as literacy tests and pledging to support the Democratic ticket, in their attempt to register to vote. The most comprehensive piece of legislation that addressed this specific problem is the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It was enacted to protect the voting rights of African Americans and other minority groups by prohibiting discriminatory voting practices.

2. The second excerpt is from the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions, which was drafted during the women's rights convention in 1848. It advocated for suffrage, which is the right to vote, for women. Therefore, the correct answer is suffrage.

3. The third excerpt is a letter from the governor of New Mexico Territory in 1886, discussing the issue of the Apache Indians. The writer suggests that the Apache interfere with money-making interests and that they need to be exterminated. The writer does not mention that the Apache should remain on reservations in Arizona. Therefore, the correct answers are that the Apache interfere with money-making interests and that the Apache need to be exterminated.

4. Part A: The image depicts people of diverse backgrounds coming together, indicating that the United States is a nation of immigrants.
Part B: The image does not provide information on specific legislation passed by states. Therefore, the correct answer is none of the options listed.

5. Assimilation refers to the process of immigrants adopting the cultural norms and traditions of their new country. Statement 1, "Immigrants should make every effort to adapt to their new country, including adopting cultural norms and traditions," aligns most closely with assimilation.

6. President Obama's words in the quotation suggest that embracing diversity and drawing on the talents of all parts of society are important for a strong nation. Therefore, providing alternate paths to citizenship and granting amnesty to the children of illegal aliens would align with his words.

7. A good citizen displays tolerance for different opinions and performs common civic duties. A good citizen would not try to get out of jury duty or lie on income tax forms.

8. Citizens can influence governmental decision making by joining a political party, lobbying on behalf of an interest group, and voting in local elections. Avoiding political discussions is not a way to influence decision making.

9. Lobbyists can influence judicial decision making by meeting face to face with legislators and submitting amicus curiae briefs. Bringing lawsuits to the courts and encouraging members to contact Congress do not directly relate to influencing judicial decision making.

10. The tool most effectively used by Congress to limit the number of immigrants was the quota system. The quota system established limitations on the number of immigrants allowed from specific countries.

11. The accurate statements about immigration are that quotas were used to restrict immigrants from certain regions and that immigrants often come to escape poor living conditions at home. Immigrants have faced discriminatory practices, and immigrants do not easily assimilate into American society, making those statements inaccurate.

12. Emma Lazarus's poem, "The New Colossus," would likely be used by the Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights to support its cause. The poem emphasizes welcoming immigrants and offering refuge to the tired, poor, and homeless.

13. Chief Justice Warren cites changes in social beliefs about equality, changes in the role of government, and changes in the role of public education as reasons for the changing interpretation of the Equal Protection Clause in the Fourteenth Amendment. These changes contributed to the court's opinion that segregated public schools are inherently unequal and unconstitutional. Changes in the economic structure are not mentioned as a reason for the changing interpretation.
