Explain how these two readings work together to help provide a picture of how Americans responded to the dramatic changes that were taking place during the first half of the nineteenth century.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not include the readings. Without them, we do not know what your references are. However, doing some research we can comment on the following general terms.

If your readings refer to the book "Walden" and the "Lowell Mill Girls," then our comment would be the following.

Henry David Thoreau was the author of "Walden." It shows how Americans lived in the country and their customs, highlighting the importance of living in solitude with mother nature.

The "Lowell Mill Girls" tells the story of the young women that had to work in the industries of Lowell, Massachusetts. Historians consider that approximately 8,000 women had to work in textile factories.

Both books refer to a part in United States history when Americans had to respond to the dramatic changes that were taking place during the first half of the nineteenth century, where industries hired people offering low paid jobs and workers labored under unhealthy conditions for long hours.

the tariff was created to protect industry in the northern part of the united states. industries in the north were being driven out of business by imported goods that were priced at a low rate. the goal was to protect these industries   by taxing the goods.

the fifth and fourteenth amendments to the united states constitution each contain a due process clause. due process deals with the administration of justice and thus the due process clause acts as a safeguard from arbitrary denial of life, liberty, or property by the government outside the sanction of law.
