Well if there is no majority in the Senate, then b. But the question does not state any further details on the 10 senators :( and what you said is exactly where I'm unsure. If they are of the original 10, then there is no majority (thus b), but if they ar...

6 years ago

Oop, well its not A. I think it is b.

6 years ago

thank you:)

6 years ago

So, actually, the answer was d. I guess it was because impeaching doesn't necessarily mean removal from office, which is what they cant do on an allegation :/

6 years ago

Yeah, I picked D, but it turned out to be B. I'll ask my teacher about it, thanks for the help anyways!:)

6 years ago

Yeah b was right:)

6 years ago

is it A then? I thought self-incrimination discussed privacy and the whole private property thing. But I do see how relevant trial by jury is, and I really don't think it could be b or d

6 years ago

actually nevermind please disregard, its C, I found it in my lesson. and rereading what I wrote in the last bit of the end there doesn't make sense, sorry for the confusion

6 years ago

wait I meant to say I think its a. I found a sentence in my lesson stating that the fifth (and fourth) amendment discusses due process, double jeopardy and trial by jury. to be honest, I don't think its a but my lesson literally has a sentence of what I s...

6 years ago

nvm I was right its D:)

ok, im going to stick with A assuming they mean civil rights act, thank you!

6 years ago

Ok thank you so much

6 years ago

Do you mean there would be a better option than D? If that's the case, I think C would be better

Right I agree, thank you Ms. Sue. Also, hate to trouble you, but remember that last question I posted? I found some stuff in my lesson which I copied there, would you mind taking a quick look at it again?

6 years ago

I actually decided to go with D (since this class is very picky about copying EXACTLY what you find in the lesson... even if it's not the best answer) and D was correct. Regardless, thank you for your help :)

6 years ago

Ok so this question for some reason was D... not exactly sure why. I'll talk to my teacher about it, but thank you for your help:)

6 years ago

Got it, thank you for your help!:)

Actually, now that I think about it, it might be A because the quotas came as a result of the affirmative action. Still not sure though

Here's an excerpt from my lesson: "When the Bill of Rights was made part of the United States Constitution, the rights it guaranteed were not forced upon the various states. Today, state governments must also protect these rights. How this happened was a...

6 years ago

To be honest, I do not think it is D (right to bear arms) since it has been incorporated into selective incorporation through the McDonald v Chicago (2010) case. Now that I think about it, the answer might be C, but I'm still not sure

6 years ago

So I went with C since I read it in a Khan Academy website. But the reason I originally picked A was because I read that in another website. It turned out to be A, but thank you so much for your help :)

6 years ago

Ok thank you

6 years ago

If its A, then I feel stupid XD

6 years ago

it's the right for women to vote... so maybe A? It's not addressing harassment or citizenship (I was thinking like "women segregation" and how they didn't have the right to vote).

6 years ago

Ah ok that makes sense, thanks Ms. Sue

6 years ago

ok got it thank you

6 years ago

um, so the last one was B (were)… don't know why :/

6 years ago

Not a guess. I believe it should be B because when the "separate but equal" law was overturned, it applied to other facilities (to my knowledge). It cannot be A, I do not think (D) Brown v Board only applied to Topeka, and I do not think (from what I read...

6 years ago

Yes, it turned out to be D:)

6 years ago

Ok so its actually the other way around

6 years ago

Great thank you for your help, it was right along with all the other questions you and Writeacher helped me with :)

6 years ago

Yes, -ant was correct thank you so much Ms. Sue!!

6 years ago

Sorry, forgot to add this, but I would say A, C and D

I was right, it is d. (by color, I think they mean the color of the light, so yes that's a way)

6 years ago

Oh I see, then I go with D

6 years ago

Looking at this problem again, I'm thinking it might be C because (going thru each possible answer) Americans would want tax cuts(?- they spend less money on taxes), I don't think they want the government in their private lives..., and I don't think anyon...

6 years ago

This was correct

6 years ago

Thanks for your help, I got it right, it was A

6 years ago

Nope- I should have gone with my gut, it was D

6 years ago

This was correct

6 years ago

Thank you for your opinions. I will put down B since I too am vouching for that one more so than D. The only reason I am including D is because it doesn't seem out of the question and that we learned a lot about it in this particular unit. However I think...

6 years ago

Actually, I just found one sentence that states that the nation's population has generally shifted from the northeast to the southwest... but they don't say anything else so I don't know which one to pick 0_0 (A or D)

6 years ago

Ah I didn't catch that thank you so much Ms. Sue!

6 years ago

Or it could be C

6 years ago

Could it be C? (Don't know too much about this question)

6 years ago

Never mind I think I found it in my lesson (it should be C)

6 years ago

Or actually I'm leaning more towards C (maybe, still don't know)

6 years ago

I actually decided to stick with B and it was correct :)

6 years ago

Thank you

6 years ago

Thank you for your help :)

Sorry, I don't know what to think for the first one:/

6 years ago

Ok, then I believe #1 should be C

6 years ago

Then D?

6 years ago

Ok I definitely read B wrong, I believe it should be D

6 years ago

OK so I think the first one is B

6 years ago

Ok, so the answer turned out to be C, I don't know why

6 years ago

Nevertheless I greatly appreciate all the help you've given me :)
