Internal improvements" was a nineteenth-century term referring to investment in transportationprojects such as roads, railroads, canals, harbors, and river navigation projects. These public works are an accepted responsibility of the modern state government, but in earlier times the concept of public funding for such projects was new and controversial. North Carolina was so isolated and poor in the early nineteenth century that it was derisively nicknamed the "Rip Van Winkle State." At alarming rates, emigrants fled its stagnant economy, worn-out farmland, poverty, and lack of opportunity. Among the state's greatest handicaps was inadequate transportation. Only a few rivers in the east were navigable, and even these were shallow and difficult to travel. The coast offered few good harbors, and roads, where they existed, were terrible. Under such conditions transportation was slow, inefficient, and so expensive that farmers could not afford to ship their produce more than a few miles.
Some state leaders, such as Governors Alexander Martin in 1791 and Nathaniel Alexander in 1806, asked the General Assembly for money to finance internal improvements. But many legislators and voters strongly opposed raising taxes or increasing government's involvement in internal improvements; for years, the state's role was limited to granting charters to private companies to operate toll bridges, canals, and navigation projects
Country borders do not relect cultural groups
The statement that best describes what happened when Constantine tried to establish New Rome is: He was successful in building a new political center in the East, unified by the Christian religion.

Answer:
A bill that allowed Hong Kong to detain and transfer people wanted in other countries with which it has no formal extradition agreements.
Explanation:
Extradition is the action of deporting a person convicted or accused of a crime.
The reason this finally came about was because a Hong Kong man killed his pregnant girlfriend in Taiwan and then returned to Hong Kong. He admitted he killed her but no charges could be given because it happened in another country and no laws about that were in place.
Hope that helps!
