The 14th amendment of the constitution accomplishes all of the following except a) allowing for fair and speedy trials. b) defining citizenship in the united states. c) refines the rules of representation in the house of representatives. d) extending the ‘equal protection clause’ of the constitution to the states.

The correct answer would be A) allowing for fair and speedy trials.

When I put in C it said my answer was incorrect.

The correct answer is letter A.

The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution brings, among others, the Citizenship Clause, which overruled a previous Supreme Court's decision on Dred Scott's case that said black people weren't citizens and could not become citizens of the United States.

Also, it brought determined rules of representation in the House of Representatives which added three-fifths of each state's slave population to its free population.

And last, the Equal Protection Clause was extended and and prohibited any state of denying equal protection of the law to any person. This clause was basis for the Brown v. Board of Education case which helped end racial segregation in public schools.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
