1. WWII changed America in that it gave American citizens a sense of obligation to defend America. It changed Americans' perspective of liberty and governmental power.
2. Some tensions that follows the war were the Civil Rights Act of 1964, th Cold War, and tension regarding National Security and Individual Rights.
3. I think she meant that the Supreme Court has to make a lot of decisions, regarding the law and the people that do not follow just one ideal or belief; congressmen have to change many of their decisions, too to fit what the various citizens want.
4. Rights are relative and not absolute in that the perspective of civil rights varies person to person. For instance, sexism against woman may seem fair to men, but it may not seem fair to the women. Likewise, discrimination against black men may seem fair to white men, but it is definitely not fair to the black man.
