Answer 9

The Bill of Rights promises that punishment for a crime cannot be cruel or unusual, meaning that it cannot be painful or degrading to the person's dignity. What punishment would be considered cruel and unusual?

Someone who commits assault is beaten as punishment.

Someone caught shoplifting is made to pay a fine and write an apology.

Someone caught driving while drunk is punished by revoking driving privileges.

Someone caught littering is punished by being made to pick up trash on the highway.

Answer 10

A. Someone who commits assault is beaten as punishment.

Any form of beating or physical torture is noted as cruel and unusual. Everything else is just a basic lesson.

Which of the following had the most influence on widespread cultural changes in America?

Americans were forced to learn the cultural ideas of Native Americans when they needed their help to grow food and trade goods in order to survive.

Early Europeans brought many forms of art, language, and music that were new and interesting to American colonists who were eager to learn this culture.

Native Americans, Europeans, and African Americans all brought their own unique customs and traditions when these groups came together in America.

Enslaved African Americans were not afraid to share their culture, which included different forms of music, food, religion, and art, with American colonists.

Answer 12

The answer is most-likely C... I'm not entirely sure, but it seems more diverse, as America is made up of not only the British, but the Spanish, Dutch, and French as well.....
So, the more cultural aspect would be the answer 'C' rather than just from the original founders..

Answer 13

Okay ! :)

PHOENIX, Sept. 20, 2012—Arizona's new immigration law takes effect this week. According to the law, police officers must check the status of anyone who may be an undocumented immigrant. Officers have the right to decide who is checked under this law.

Which argument would a supporter use to show that this law is necessary?

All citizens are entitled to due process of law under the Fifth Amendment.

Birthright citizenship was granted in the United States only with the Fourteenth Amendment.

The First Amendment permits freedom of assembly by all people, including immigrants.

The U.S. Constitution gives states the right to make and enforce their own laws.

Answer 14

It should be 'D'.

Answer 15

You can post the next question, but I'll be right back in like ten minutes..

Answer 16

okay :)

Answer 17

Sunshine State Free Press
Letter from the Editor
Many Floridians are concerned about gun control. Some people believe that limiting access to firearms may make the nation safer. Others believe that this goes against their rights as Americans. What about a compromise? Keep all firearms, but add a new, large tax on ammunition.

Which statement explains why this proposed tax could be considered unconstitutional?

In the U.S. Constitution, federal lawmakers are not permitted to make laws for the states.

In the U.S. Constitution, only Congress can propose taxes, not the press.

The firearm tax may cripple the president's ability to act as chief of the armed forces.

The tax may unfairly limit the right to bear arms, protected by the Second Amendment.

Answer 18

It's most-likely 'D'. I'm only saying this, though because 'A' and 'B' are obviously wrong (only under Articles of Confederation should states make their own laws, and that was ruled out only a little while after it was created..) and 'C' is wrong, because taxes are on everything else, and it doesn't cause crippling for the nation. At least they have a reason.

Answer 19

The framers of the Constitution began with the famous words, "We the People." Consider whether those words were Federalist or Anti-federalist and what was meant by "the people." Which can you infer about those opening words?

Those words likely came from the Anti-federalists. The Anti-federalists wanted a strong federal government. The "people" in the quote were the delegates or those who had control over the federal government.

Those words likely came from the Federalists. The Federalists wanted a weaker federal government and more power at the state level. The "people" in the quote are the delegates and leaders of the individual states.

Both sides agreed on those words. The framers wrote the Constitution with both the present and future in mind. At the time, the "people" were the wealthy, white men but some knew the implications might be greater.

Those words came from the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence. Both documents began with the same words. Federalists and Anti-federalists likely agreed on those words because they reminded them of their common bond to form an independent nation.

Answer 20

It's either 'C' or 'B'. It says 'We. the people of the United States of America...' so, I believe it to be 'B'. Also, the federalists cared more about the small people, rural farm owners and such.

Okay, so it's 'B'.

Answer 21

okay i got 2 more :) :) Much has been said of the impropriety of representing slaves. But representation and taxation go together. Would it be just to impose a burden, without giving an advantage?

Read the quotation. To which issue is this quotation related?

The formation of the Electoral College

The Great Compromise

The question of state vs. federal power

The Three-Fifths Compromise

Answer 22

Alright, then. Mmm, I'm not sure about this one, though.

I think it's the Three-Fifths Compromise.. That's 'D'.
The compromise stated that three of every five slaves would be counted towards an extra representative in Congress.. It looks like this is an argument going against the Compromise.

Answer 23

So D?

Answer 24

Last Question! :) :) Using the passage below, please answer the question that follows.

The Tuscarora people lived in the eastern areas of North Carolina in the 17th century. As European settlers moved into their homelands, tensions between these groups rose. European settlers moved onto native lands without apology. Soon Tuscarora women and children were being abducted and sold into slavery by the settlers. Tuscarora hunting parties were attacked and killed or sold into slavery. In 1710, prior to the outbreak of the Tuscarora War, the Tuscarora people made a plea to the governor of Pennsylvania. Desperate for peace, the Tuscarora begged for sanctuary in Pennsylvania. The speakers for the tribe talked of women and children unable to gather food and play in the forest for fear of being captured. They talked of not being able to hunt freely to support their families. They talked, above all, of a desire for peace between the settlers and themselves, even if it required leaving their homelands. However, the governor of Pennsylvania was reluctant to give them sanctuary. Among other issues, the governor feared an alliance between the Tuscarora and the Pennsylvania Iroquois. He feared increasing the Native American presence in Pennsylvania would upset the settlers already there. Ultimately, the Tuscarora had to make the best of their hard life in North Carolina. The harassment from settlers did not stop, and in 1711, war broke out between the settlers and the Tuscarora.

Based on this account, what would historians be most likely to disagree on regarding the story of the Tuscarora?

The history of the Iroquois nation

The duration of the Tuscarora War

The exact cause of the Tuscarora War

The location of the Tuscarora tribal lands

Answer 25

Yes, it was 'D'.

I believe this one is 'B'. I'm not exactly sure, but it seems to make the most sense.. The paragraph isn't really stating how long the war lasted, so historians would most likely jump towards disagreeing with that.

Answer 26

Okay thank you so much! :) :)
