Скачать или смотреть US Leader Enc: 1929-1933 Vice President of the United States - Charles Curtis

Today's encyclopedia entry is Charles Curtis. He was born in 1860 in North Topeka, Kansas Territory, and was of mixed Native American and European descent. Curtis was affiliated with the Republican Party. He served as the 31st Vice President of the United States from 1929 to 1933, under President Herbert Hoover. In Congress, he played a leading role in passing the Curtis Act of 1898, impacting Native American land holdings. As Senate Majority Leader, he introduced the first Equal Rights Amendment to the Senate in 1921. Supporters point to his groundbreaking rise as a Native American leader and legislative skill, while critics argue that his policies on tribal land and his limited vice presidential influence were contentious. His legacy includes historic representation at the federal level and contributions to Native American policy; after office, he practiced law in Washington, DC until his death in 1936. Should high-ranking officials with diverse backgrounds prioritize advancing representation or focus more on the direct effects of their policy decisions? I'm confused. Please tell me what's right.#CharlesCurtis
