Chap06
The document discusses voting rights and voter behavior in the United States.

Key events included the 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments granting rights regardless of race, sex, and lowering the age to 18. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the most effective at protecting minority voting rights. However, voter turnout remains low, especially in non-presidential elections, as many people feel their votes do not matter or distrust the political system. Sociological and psychological factors influence individuals' decisions to vote or not.

It then more briefly outlines the remaining amendments, often providing a mnemonic device to help remember their focus or purpose.
Reconstruction
Reconstruction (1865-1877) aimed to rebuild the South after the Civil War and restore Southern states to the Union. It involved several plans and acts by Lincoln, Johnson, and Congress to repair infrastructure, establish the Freedmen's Bureau to aid former slaves, and define citizenship and voting rights through amendments to the Constitution. However, the withdrawal of federal troops from the South in 1877 after the Compromise effectively ended Congressional Reconstruction and left black southerners vulnerable to violence and intimidation through organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and oppressive policies like black codes and sharecropping.

Amendments
The document discusses amendments to the US Constitution that extended voting rights and civil rights protections. It summarizes that the original Bill of Rights only protected white males, and African Americans and women had few rights. Key amendments included the 13th banning slavery, 14th granting citizenship and equal protection under the law, and 15th banning restrictions on voting based on race. Later amendments granted women's suffrage, ended poll taxes, allowed voting in DC, and lowered the voting age.
Civics and economics final review
Here are the key points I would consider:
- Students have free speech rights, but schools also have authority over curriculum and activities that could disrupt education.
- The articles discuss sensitive topics and name other students without consent, which could violate privacy and cause harm.
- The principal could require removing names and work with students to address concerns while still publishing revised articles, balancing free expression and privacy.
- If agreement can't be reached, the principal has authority not to publish, though censoring due to just disagreement with views could be unconstitutional.
Overall, the situation requires balancing competing interests through respectful discussion to find an acceptable solution for all.
Chapter 18 3
The document discusses key events and issues during the Reconstruction era following the American Civil War. It outlines the Reconstruction Acts of 1867 that divided the South into districts and required new state constitutions. It also discusses the Freedmen's Bureau assisting freed black Americans and the passage of the 14th Amendment granting citizenship and equal rights. Resistance from Southern whites led to the rise of organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and attacks on Republicans. Reconstruction efforts eventually lost support in the North and ended in 1877 with the Compromise that withdrew federal troops from the South.
His 122 ch 17 fall 2013
