Read the excerpt from Representative Shirley Chisholm’s speech on equal rights for women.

Mr. Speaker, House Joint Resolution 264, before us today, which provides for equality under the law for both men and women, represents one of the most clear-cut opportunities we are likely to have to declare our faith in the principles that shaped our Constitution. It provides a legal basis for attack on the most subtle, most pervasive, and most institutionalized form of prejudice that exists. Discrimination against women, solely on the basis of their sex, is so widespread that it seems to many persons normal, natural and right.

–Equal rights speech,
Shirley Chisholm

Why did the Equal Rights Amendment fail?

Most people believed that women were not equal to men.
Many feared that the amendment would create a unisex society.
The law was unnecessary since women already had equality.
Social liberalism was not a powerful belief system in the late 1960s.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Equal Rights Amendment was a proposed amendment to Congress by Alice Paul and Crystal Eastman. In December 1923, Paul and Eastman proposed to the Congress an amendment that required equal rights for Americans, regardless of sexes. This distinction was to be removed legally in the matters of divorce, property, employment, etc.

The Equal Rights Amendments failed in 1983 because of lack of votes by some states. It failed as it provided vague description and people also feared that it might create a unisex society. The proponent of this view point was Phyllis Schlafly.

Therefore, option B is correct.

1. Explain the impact of Westward Expansion on Native Americans.

2. How did government policies such as the Homestead Act, Dawes Act and Reservation system impact Native Americans?

Answers

The correct answers to these open questions are the following.

1. Explain the impact of Westward Expansion on Native Americans.

The Westward Expansion devastated the Native American Indians. The expansion removed the Indians from their original territories. White settlers started to occupy their territories under the protection of new legislation passed in the United States Congress. Farmers and miners settled in the Plains took the Indian's lands away and hurt Indians because they could not hunt animals in their former territories.

Indians tried to react and defend themselves by attacking the white settlers' homes, and wagons but their actions were limited.

2. How did government policies such as the Homestead Act, Dawes Act, and Reservation system impact Native Americans?

All these legislations were enacted to take lands away from the hand of the Native American Indian tribes. The lands, large portions of land, were given to white settlers in order to exploit the many raw materials and natural resources. What the white settlers wanted was to inhabit those territories and make big profits.

O had kept all of the land they held in 1881,

Answers

Answer:

O Had lost half the land they held in 1881.

Explanation:

The Dawes Act of 1887 was passed by the government of the United States to make native Indians more included in the government and also to possibly open their lands for more white settlers. This law requires the Indian lands to be individualized and distributed among the owners.

What this law led to was that the Indians refused to give up their lands. Moreover, to be included in the citizenship of the nation, they had to 'offer' their lands. This means that only those who accepted the individual plots were granted citizenship, thereby excluding the majority of the American Indians. This resulted in the loss of half of the lands that they had held in 1881.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

d) Private wealth is success.

A political and economic system known as socialism is, broadly speaking, one in which the state or government typically controls property ownership and the means of production. The foundation of socialism is the notion that shared or public ownership of resources and means of production results in a society with greater equality.

What wealth-related ideas does socialism hold?

According to socialists, socialism would enable money to be divided based on one's contribution to society rather than on the amount of capital one owns. Social equality and a wealth distribution based on one's contribution to society are two main objectives of socialism.

Briefly explain what the Harlem Renaissance was?

Answers

First, to know when the Harlem Renaissance began, we must determine its origins. Understanding the origins depends on how we perceive the nature of the Renaissance. For those who view the Renaissance as primarily a literary movement, the Civic Club Dinner of March 21, 1924, signaled its emergence. This event did not occur in Harlem, but was held almost one hundred blocks south in Manhattan at the Civic Club on Twelfth Street off Fifth Avenue. Charles S. Johnson, the young editor of Opportunity, the National Urban League's monthly magazine, conceived the event to honor writer Jessie Fauset on the occasion of the publication of her novel, There Is Confusion. Johnson planned a small dinner party with about twenty guests—a mix of white publishers, editors, and literary critics, black intellectuals, and young black writers. But, when he asked Alain Locke to preside over the event, Locke agreed only if the dinner honored African American writers in general rather than one novelist.

So the simple celebratory dinner morphed into a transformative event with over one hundred attendees. African Americans were represented by W. E. B. Du Bois, James Weldon Johnson, and others of the black intelligentsia, along with Fauset and a representative group of poets and authors. White guests predominately were publishers and critics; Carl Van Doren, editor of Century magazine, spoke for this group calling upon the young writers in the audience to make their contribution to the "new literary age" emerging in America.
