The environmental impact statement (EIS) is a government document that outlines the impact of a proposed project on its surrounding environment. In the United States, these statements are mandated by federal law for certain projects. Environmental impact statements are meant to inform the work and decisions of policymakers and community leaders. Here, Teaching Legal Docs will explore the EIS—what is it, who writes them and why, what parts and information are typically included, and why they are significant resources for teaching about the environment and environmental policy in the classroom.

How did Jim Crow Laws deny African American the rights given to them by the Reconstruction Amendments (13th, 14th, 15th)?
Answer:
Colored Water Fountain
The effort to protect the rights of blacks under Reconstruction was largely crushed by a series of oppressive laws and tactics called Jim Crow and the black codes. Here, an African-American man drinks from a water fountain marked "colored" at a streetcar terminal in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1939.
Explanation:
Black codes and Jim Crow laws were laws passed at different periods in the southern United States to enforce racial segregation and curtail the power of black voters.
After the Civil War ended in 1865, some states passed black codes that severely limited the rights of black people, many of whom had been enslaved. These codes limited what jobs African Americans could hold, and their ability to leave a job once hired. Some states also restricted the kind of property black people could own. The Reconstruction Act of 1867 weakened the effect of the black codes by requiring all states to uphold equal protection under the 14th Amendment, particularly by enabling black men to vote. (U.S. law prevented women of any race from voting in federal elections until 1920.)
During Reconstruction, many black men participated in politics by voting and by holding office. Reconstruction officially ended in 1877, and southern states then enacted more discriminatory laws. Efforts to enforce white supremacy by legislation increased, and African Americans tried to assert their rights through legal challenges. However, this effort led to a disappointing result in 1896, when the Supreme Court ruled, in Plessy v. Ferguson, that so-called “separate but equal” facilities—including public transport and schools—were constitutional. From this time until the Civil Rights Act of 1964, discrimination and segregation were legal and enforceable.
One of the first reactions against Reconstruction was to deprive African-American men of their voting rights. While the 14th and 15th Amendments prevented state legislatures from directly making it illegal to vote, they devised a number of indirect measures to disenfranchise black men. The grandfather clause said that a man could only vote if his ancestor had been a voter before 1867—but the ancestors of most African-Americans citizens had been enslaved and constitutionally ineligible to vote. Another discriminatory tactic was the literacy test, applied by a white county clerk. These clerks gave black voters extremely difficult legal documents to read as a test, while white men received an easy text. Finally, in many places, white local government officials simply prevented potential voters from registering. By 1940, the percentage of eligible African-American voters registered in the South was only three percent. As evidence of the decline, during Reconstruction, the percentage of African-American voting-age men registered to vote was more than 90 percent.
African Americans faced social, commercial, and legal discrimination. Theatres, hotels, and restaurants segregated them in inferior accommodations or refused to admit them at all. Shops served them last. In 1937, The Negro Motorist Green Book, a travel guide, was first published. It listed establishments where African-American travelers could expect to receive unprejudiced service. Segregated public schools meant generations of African-American children often received an education designed to be inferior to that of whites—with worn-out or outdated books, underpaid teachers, and lesser facilities and materials. In 1954, the Supreme Court declared discrimination in education unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, but it would take another 10 years for Congress to restore full civil rights to minorities, including protections for the right to vote.

I need an essay about the ancient Rome 6 paragraphs
Answer:
The world of ancient Roman gladiators is Roman world. According to the tradition, Rome was established on April 21, 753 BC. According to legend, Romulus and Remus are the war gods, Mars' twin sons. As a baby they were abandoned in a basket beside the Tiber River. There, they were discovered by women 's wolves who brought them back to her hiding place and protected and fed them until they grew sufficiently to survive. It is named by engraving his boundary with his town.
Roman civilization is usually classified as a classic Greek "classical ancient" Ancient Greece is a civilization that influenced the majority of ancient Roman culture. Ancient Rome has made a great contribution to the development of western world law, war, art, literature, architecture and language, and its history continues to have a major impact on the world today. Roman civilization dominated Europe and the Mediterranean through conquest and assimilation. Under the rule of ancient Rome, housing construction ranged from a very discreet housing to rural houses. Many cities built in Rome have huge buildings. Many fountains have hundreds of miles of waterways, theaters, gyms, bathroom facilities for clean drinking water, and sometimes libraries, shops, markets and sometimes functional sewers. Many factors brought the final decline of the Roman Empire
They invented concrete, waterway, arch, and road technology. Ancient Rome was the capital of the Roman Empire. When the new city is conquered, the road will be constructed to lead to Rome. A milestone is installed on one side of the road and tells the traveler the distance to Rome. The streets of the city of ancient Rome are arranged in a geometric pattern. The Roman army consisted of corps (Infantry), Roman soldiers, officials, and officers. Some say that Legionella is the most important part of the Roman army. Although their training is difficult and cruel, they are taught to fight in a trained and effective way.
The rise and the rise of ancient Rome have formed an important era for the rise of Western civilization. Through Rome, the outcome of the ancient Greek civilization was handed down to medieval Europe. Roman architecture, sculpture, philosophy, literature are all built on the model of Greece, forming their own unique elements, leaving a heritage for the heritage of later Western civilization. But in law and politics, Rome has the strongest influence today. Many European laws still derive from Roman law. Equity (justice of truth), equality before the law, civil rights and the idea of elected officials are derived from the Greeks, but they are further adopted by Rome and communicated to us in the form of a basic Roman It was done.

how did its location near the sea most contribute to the growth of Ancient Greece?
Answer:
Greece's geography impacted the social, political, and economic patterns in a variety of ways, such as that its mountains prevented the complete unification, that led to the establishment of the city-states near the sea, which led to a reliance on naval powers, hindered overland trade, and encouraged maritime trade around the Mediterranean, which led to the influence of other Mediterranean cultures on Greek society.
Explanation:
Ancient Greece's ability to access the sea allowed for economic expansion. This is so that numerous ports can be established for trade due to the location by the sea.
What is economic expansion?The business cycle stage known as expansion occurs when real gross domestic product (GDP) increases for two or more consecutive quarters, going from a low point to a high point.
Expansion, which is often known as an economic recovery, is frequently followed by an increase in employment, consumer confidence, and equities markets.
Investors, economists, and decision-makers pay close attention to business cycles. Understanding historical patterns of economic expansion and decline can help predict potential future trends and spot investment opportunities.
Expansions last on average about four to five years but have been known to go on anywhere from 10 months to more than 10 years. The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) determines the dates for business cycles in the United States.
