Why was the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution unconstitutional?
The 18th Amendment to the Constitution is unconstitutional because it violates private property rights. To understand this more fully, one will notice that he can plug into the wording of the amendment virtually any piece of property and it reads logically, as in, "After one year from the ratificatio of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of (meatballs) within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for (consumption) purposes is hereby prohibited."

How did the constitution expand African Americans rights in 1870?
The Constitution expanded African American rights in 1870 through the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment, which prohibited the federal and state governments from denying citizens the right to vote based on "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." This amendment was a significant step towards granting African American men the legal right to participate in the electoral process. However, despite this constitutional protection, many African Americans faced systemic barriers, such as discriminatory practices and violence, that hindered their ability to exercise these rights fully.

What amendment deals with the rights of an accused person?
The 6th amendment is generally thought of as the one guaranteeing a "fair trial", but actually it is a combination of the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments that fully guarantees it, because together they guarantee specific rights that are components of the trial process. The 5th amendment guarantees the right to be charged in an indictment, the right not to be tried twice for the same crime, the right not to be forced to incriminate one's self, nor be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process. It would be hardly "fair" for the government to have no witnesses but just put the defendant on the witness stand and force him to testify against himself. The 6th amendment is more to the point. It guarantees a right to speedy and public trial by an impartial jury, to be informed of the nature of the charges, to be confronted with the witnesses, to have compulsory process for getting witnesses and to have counsel. Note that there is no guarantee of a jury of 12 persons who are the peers of the defendant. Nor of unanimity of the verdict. The Fourteenth Amendment makes these amendments applicable to the states. The Bill of Rights ws originally applicable onlt to the federal government, not the states. But the vast majority of criminal trials are in state courts. The 6th amendment would be pretty hollow if it did not apply to the states.
