Question

This passage describes Jim Crow laws in the United States.
For years discriminatory laws known as “black codes” were enforced against African Americans in the United States. These laws, which legalized segregation and unfair treatment of people based on race, ensured that African Americans remained second-class citizens despite the ratification of the 14th Amendment in 1868.
The 14th Amendment was passed following the Civil War. Included in the amendment were the due process clause and the equal protection clause, which declared unfair treatment of people based on race to be unconstitutional and thus required that all people be treated equally under the law. However, after Reconstruction the “Jim Crow” laws, which replaced the black codes, ignored the amendment as it related to African Americans.
Jim Crow laws were upheld largely through violence and were used to ensure that African Americans remained second-class citizens socially, politically, economically, and legally. African Americans who resisted were often subjected to beatings or even lynching. Jim Crow laws were so embedded in society that they remained in effect for many years, ending only after passage of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act in the 1960s.

Answer 1

Answer:

Wind is the flow of gases on a large scale. On the surface of the Earth, wind consists of the bulk movement of air. In outer space, solar wind is the movement of gases or charged particles from the Sun through space, while planetary wind is the outgassing of light chemical elements from a planet's atmosphere into space. Winds are commonly classified by their spatial scale, their speed, the types of forces that cause them, the regions in which they occur, and their effect. The strongest observed winds on a planet in the Solar System occur on Neptune and Saturn. Winds have various aspects: velocity (wind speed); the density of the gas involved; energy content or wind energy. The wind is also an important means of transportation for seeds and small birds; with time things can travel thousands of miles in the wind.
