Answer:

No, I would not expect the borders of a gerrymandered district to apper on a map as a rectangle or a circle or some other recognizable shape.

Explanation:

Since gerrymandering is a political practice that manipulates and re-draws district boundaries for the political advantage of a given group or party, the resulting borders will have a weird shape, different from a rectangle or a circle.

The origin of the term goes back to Elbridge Gerry, who as a governor of Massachusetts in 1812 created a partisan district in Boston with a shape that resembled a salamander. Thus, mockingly, his colleagues named it a gerrymander.

No, I would not expect the borders of a gerrymandered district to appear on a map as a rectangle of circle or some other recognizable shape because first of all, geographic shapes cannot be compared to simple geometric shapes and a “gerrymandered” district would have an odd and bizarre shape, just like what happened when Gov. Elbridge Gerry redrew the Senate districts map – it looked like a salamander.

3. What was the main product that the French traded for with the Native Americans?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The French traded furs for iron tools, kettles, wool blankets, and other supplies, while Native Americans exchanged furs for items from all over the world.

Explanation:

Before Europeans arrived in the mid-1600s, Native Americans traded throughout the rivers of present-day Minnesota and across the Great Lakes. Following that, European American traders traded manufactured products for precious furs with Native Americans for approximately 200 years.

Fur-bearing animals were mostly trapped by the Dakota and Ojibwe in the Northwest Territory. In the region's forests and streams, they obtained a variety of furs, the most important of which was beaver. Traders from France, the United Kingdom, and the United States offered blankets, rifles and ammunition, fabric, metal tools, and brass kettles in return for the furs.

ryzh [129]

Answer:

They had a matrilineal kinship system.

Explanation:

The Natchez people are one of the many tribes considered to be native Americans.

Aside from the fact that Natchez people speak different native languages that are yet to be associated with other native Americans, they are also known for having a unique social system of nobility classes and exogamous marriage practices.

The Natchez people is a highly based matrilineal kinship society, with adequacy in reckoning along female lines.
