It was the declaration that no state could prevent women from voting. Back then The lawmakers heard alot of pissing and moaning from their wives and the got cut off. They then went to their mistress and recieved the same treatment, this was a final straw for lawmakers so they did what they had to do.

Awesome...for the points, I'll take them! And the in the election of 1800, a tie between two men of the same party--Jefferson and Bur--resulted. The 12th amendment made it so the electors vote twice, specifying which man they voted for president and which they voted for vice president.\n\nThanks and have a nice day!

The text of this important and historic amendment to the U.S. Constitution has already been identified in previous posts, however the reasoning and legislative history has not.\n\nIt was ratified on February 3, 1870.\n\nThis amendment prohibits the states or the federal government from using a citizen's race, color, or previous status as a slave as a voting qualification. Its basic purpose was to enfranchise former slaves. But it was not really until the Voting Rights Act in 1965, almost a century later, that this purpose was actually achieved in all states.\n\nAfter the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment, southern blacks voted in numbers that on a per capita basis would probably exceed black political participation today. On both a per capita and absolute basis, more blacks were elected to political office during the period from 1865 to 1880 than at any other time in American history. Although no state elected a black governor during Reconstruction, a number of state legislatures were effectively under the control of a substantial African American caucus. These legislatures brought in programs that are considered part of government's duty now, but at the time were radical, such as universal public education. They also set aside all racially biased laws, even those prohibiting interracial marriage.

The civil War and the wars of the twentieth century are definetly turning points in the growth of civil rights. For example the end of the civil war along with the 13TH amendment bring cahanges in America. During reconstruction blacks are protected by the Freedmens Bureau which helps them out toget their voting rights. During reconstruction thanks to this bureau and both carpetbaggers and scalawags the 14th and 15th amendments are passed which define citizenship and male suffrage.With the hayes-tilden election comes the crime of 77 which allows the KKK to take power in the south but not for long because president Grant enforces  a force bill which ends the klan, but not forever. Then in ww2 there were many riots because blacks weren't allowed to be mixed with whites. This created the civil rights movement with all kinds of awr taking place like the korean and vietnam. Sit ins and freedom riders would help the movement.

Andrew Johnson. He was Lincoln's Vice-President and became President after Lincoln was assassinated. He was born in North Carolina and moved to Tennessee. He was a member of House of Representatives from Tennessee and stayed in that post after Tennessee's succession. He was made military governor of Tennessee in 1862 and Lincoln nominated him as Vice President despite the fact that he was a Southern Democrat.\n\nHe had many fights with the socalled Radical Republicans over reconstruction. They overrode hos veto on the Civil Rights Act establishing blacks as Citizens and forbidding discrimination. Congress also passed the 14th Amendment establishing equal rights against Johnson's opposition. They passed laws Governing reconstruction and impeached Johnson for sacking the Secretary of War Edwin Stanton with him surviving by a vote. Johnson was reelected as Senator for Tennessee in 1875 and died a few months later.

The 21st Amendment repealed or "undid" the 18th Amendment. The 18th Amendment was referred to as Prohibition, and basically made it illegal to buy, sell, make, transport or possess alcohol (beer, wine, liquor). The 21st Amendment made it legal again to have alcohol but also applied some regulations and laid the groundwork for licensing and taxing alcoholic beverages.

By narrowing down what you want to talk about. There was a lot that happened in the 19th century, and a lot's going on right now. What in particular would you like to compare? Politics, business, fashion, science, religion? Just pick one of them, and be specific. Otherwise, you'll write a book!

The oldest federal constitution in existence was framed by a convention of delegates from twelve of the thirteen original states in Philadelphia in May 1787, Rhode Island failing to send a delegate. George Washington presided over the session, which lasted until September 17, 1787. The draft (originally a preamble and seven Articles) was submitted to all thirteen states and was to become effective when ratified by nine states. It went into effect on the first Wednesday in March 1789, having been ratified by New Hampshire, the ninth state to approve, on June 21, 1788.

As soon as it was enacted.  The First Amendment is a part of the US Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land.  Any legislation or law can only be a law if it complies with the constitution.\n\nSo I guess the answer to your question would be December 15, 1791 when it was passed or ratified by the states and added to the constitution.

Helping you out with your homework huh?  Well I will not make it 4 or five sentences long but will give you something to think about.  \nThe impact it has on the American history is it started the rebellion against taxation and the mother country.  The second thing is that Americans decided to govern themselves and form a new government.  It also lead to no one ruler will govern America, judicial system, legislative branch and the executive branch.  It lead to a revolt and to the rights of our civil liberties.
