Why didn't the bill of rights make slavery unconstitutional?
Answer:
The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution did not end slavery. In fact, it is the first time the word "slavery" was ever mentioned in the Constitution and it is in this amendment where it is not abolished once and for all as we were taught, but given the constitutional protection that has maintained the practice of American slavery in various forms to this very day.
The entire 13th Amendment, one of the most well-known of our entire Constitution, is just 47 words long. It could literally fit on a Post-it note. Yet, about a third of those words aren't about ending slavery, but are shockingly about how and when slavery could receive a wink and a nod to continue. Before the 13th Amendment was ratified, scores of publications and speeches the world over were published by abolitionists describing the horrors of slavery and why the institution must die.
Slavery never ended in this country. The 13th Amendment didn't end it, but simply forced it to change form and structure. It may look and feel different, but please understand the effects are very much the same. People in power still say those in the system deserve to be there — just like they did 150 years ago. Escaping the system, once and for all, for those who serve their time, is nearly impossible — with society doing everything it can to make a quick return to prison a painfully easy path.

13. What was the result of food shortages in Europe?
A. Rapid increase of food prices
B. The destruction of cities and towns
O C. The creation of NATO
O D. The forced migration of people to Eastern Europe
Answer: A. Rapid increase of food prices
Explanation:
When there was a shortage of food in Europe, the markets responded by increasing the prices of food.
This obeyed the Law of Supply which states that all else being equal, the supply of a good is inversely related to it's price. This means that the lower the supply, the higher the price (and vice versa) in order to cater for the scarcity.
Answer:
A.) Rapid increase of food prices

Mexican Revolution: What is the background? What is going on to cause tension?
Ideas/Examples: Who is upset? Why are they upset? How long has there been a problem?
Answer:
The Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910, ended dictatorship in Mexico and established a constitutional republic. A number of groups, led by revolutionaries including Francisco Madero, Pascual Orozco, Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, participated in the long and costly conflict. Though a constitution drafted in 1917 formalized many of the reforms sought by rebel groups, periodic violence continued into the 1930s.
Explanation:
“Louis Pasteur’s Publication of the Germ Theory was the biggest turning point in medicine in the period c1700-c1900”
How far do you agree with this statement?
You may use the following in your answer:
•Edward Jenner
•Robert Koch
You must also use information of your own (20 marks)
Answer:
I agree with this statement to some extent.
In Pasteur's germ theory, he suggested that the spread of microorganisms in the body were what caused disease. This turned out to be true, and would lead to advancements in medicine - specifically in prevention of and treatment of diseases, as physicians and scientists would be able to treat the microorganisms causing the problem.
Not only that, but it also led to Robert Koch isolating the microorganisms that caused multiple diseases that were rampant at the time, including tuberculosis and cholera. Koch's research then led to the research of and creation of more vaccines that put a stop to the massive death rates of these diseases, especially in highly-populated areas which were incredibly vulnerable to these illnesses. ( E.g. London).
However, Pasteur's germ theory was not believed by many people, who still believed in other explanations for disease, such as spontaneous generation. One of these individuals was Henry Bastion, who was a prominent and well-trusted English physician at the time; he openly voiced his disagreement with Pasteur. Due to this, germ theory was not widely believed until later on in this period, which led to many physicians not adapting their diagnosis and treatment around germ theory for a long time until it was widely accepted in the 1890s.
Another reason I disagree is due to the discovery of the smallpox vaccine by Edward Jenner. Jenner's vaccine, which was an injection of cowpox (a safe variant of smallpox) was the world's first vaccine. His discovery helped to decrease the death rate of smallpox which, at that time, was a highly deadly and incurable disease. The smallpox vaccination led to the research of other vaccines and was arguably another big turning point in medicine in 1700 to 1900.
In conclusion, I somewhat agree with Pasteur's germ theory being the biggest point in medicine in the period given, due to it's impact on how we understood disease and it being the foundation of Koch's discoveries, however the opposition to germ theory and Jenner's smallpox vaccination lessen the impact that it had up until the late 1800s at least.
Note:
Hope this is okay, I last did a history question a year ago! :)
In his germ theory , Pasteur postulated that disease was brought on by the spread of germs within the body. It turned proved to be true, and this would result in improvements in medicine, particularly in the prevention and treatment of diseases.
What is germ theory?The generally accepted scientific theory for many diseases is the germ theory of disease. It claims that pathogens, also referred to as "germs," can cause disease. These microscopic organisms invade people, other animals, and other living hosts because they are too small to be seen without a magnifying glass.
Additionally, it helped Robert Koch isolate the bacteria responsible for a number of diseases that were common at the time, including cholera and tuberculosis. Following Koch's findings, new vaccinations were developed and researched, which significantly reduced the death rates from these diseases, particularly in densely populated areas that were particularly susceptible to them. (For instance, London)
Many people, however, continued to believe in other theories for disease, such as spontaneous genesis, and did not accept Pasteur's germ hypothesis. Henry Bastion, a well-known and respected English physician at the time who openly voiced his disagreement with Pasteur, was one of these people.
Due to Edward Jenner's development of the smallpox vaccine, I disagree for a second reason. The first vaccination ever created was Jenner's injection of cowpox, a safe form of smallpox.
His research contributed to a reduction in the mortality rate of smallpox, which at the time was an extremely lethal and fatal illness. In the period between 1700 and 1900, the smallpox vaccination stimulated research into other vaccines and was likely another significant turning point in medicine.

What would make the Selective Service begin requiring women to register?
Answer:
The selective service could require women to register if there was a war that required an increase in troops, or the occupation of certain specific positions.
Explanation:
As we know, women are not required to carry out military conscription and, therefore, are not recruited into the army, however there are situations in which women can be called up required in the army. This happened, for example, in the second world war, when it was necessary for women to occupy certain positions on the battlefield, such as nurses, drivers, mechanics, among others. This happened mainly in England, where only women with deponent children were exempt from the summons.
In other words, we can say that the Selective Service would summon women in a war situation, where they were absolutely necessary.

The establishment of the British Raj affect Indian society because it made Indians second-class citizens in their own country. Hence, option B is appropriate.
Write about British Raj.The British Raj, often known as Crown Rule in India or Direct Rule in India, was the British Crown's rule over the Indian subcontinent from 1858 to 1947. Between 1757 and 1947, or around 200 years of British occupancy, the Indian subcontinent was under British rule, or the British Raj. When Queen Victoria assumed control of the East India Company's administration in 1858, a new form of government was put into place.
The British Empire's control of India is credited to Robert Clive. He began working for the East India Company as a clerk and advanced through the ranks, eventually taking command of the British soldiers at the Battle of Plassey.
Hence, option B is correct.

Compare how African Americans and in the were by the of Reconstruction?
Answer:
The Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 freed African Americans in rebel states, and after the Civil War, the Thirteenth Amendment emancipated all U.S. slaves wherever they were. As a result, the mass of Southern blacks now faced the difficulty Northern blacks had confronted—that of a free people surrounded by many hostile whites. One freedman, Houston Hartsfield Holloway, wrote, “For we colored people did not know how to be free and the white people did not know how to have a free colored person about them.”
Even after the Emancipation Proclamation, two more years of war, service by African American troops, and the defeat of the Confederacy, the nation was still unprepared to deal with the question of full citizenship for its newly freed black population. The Reconstruction implemented by Congress, which lasted from 1866 to 1877, was aimed at reorganizing the Southern states after the Civil War, providing the means for readmitting them into the Union, and defining the means by which whites and blacks could live together in a nonslave society. The South, however, saw Reconstruction as a humiliating, even vengeful imposition and did not welcome it.
During the years after the war, black and white teachers from the North and South, missionary organizations, churches and schools worked tirelessly to give the emancipated population the opportunity to learn. Former slaves of every age took advantage of the opportunity to become literate. Grandfathers and their grandchildren sat together in classrooms seeking to obtain the tools of freedom.
After the Civil War, with the protection of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1866, African Americans enjoyed a period when they were allowed to vote, actively participate in the political process, acquire the land of former owners, seek their own employment, and use public accommodations. Opponents of this progress, however, soon rallied against the former slaves' freedom and began to find means for eroding the gains for which many had shed their blood.
