Answer:

The correct answer is B. Knights of Labor was one of the largest unions in the 1880s, that fought for an eight-hour workday.

Explanation:

The Knights of Labor, founded January 1, 1869 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was one of the most important American workers' organizations of the 19th century.  

Known as a kind of secret brotherhood, called The Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor, the Knights of Labor was founded by seven members of the tailoring industry in 1869 in Philadelphia, USA. Between 1878 and 1881 it was gradually opened to people of all manufacturing professions, only factory workers and business owners, bankers, lawyers, speculators and stock traders remained excluded. As a result, and by renouncing earlier secrecy rituals, the size and influence of the 1878 organization grew rapidly. In its most successful period around 1886, it had an estimated 700,000 members.

The Knights of Labor was the first attempt to establish an open-ended union in the US. Following directional struggles, mismanagement and unsuccessful strikes, the union lost many of its members after 1886, sank into insignificance at the end of the 19th century, and was eventually disbanded.

Vladimir79 [104]
The correct answer is <span>legally guaranteed by the Constitution

According to the constitution, if people elect a president he will have powers that are enumerated in the constitution and that are not related to the house or the senate, since those are the legislative branch, or the supreme court since it's the judicial branch. The president is the head of the executive branch so his powers are his own while in accordance with the constitution.</span>

jarptica [38.1K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The availability of trade goods, new ways of doing business, the expansion of trade and business would lead to the death of Feudalism in Western Europe in the Middle Ages because these activities gave people such as merchants the opportunity to expand their vision and effort to create a better form generating income to support their families and make a better living.

Under the feudal system, poor people such as peasants and merchants lived in stringent and difficult conditions. But with trade and the expansion of business, they found a better way.

For instance, that is why regions in Italy could grow and flourish. Medieval communes in Italy started to develop into city-states in the 11th century. The first ones to be developed were Venice, Florence, Pisa, and Genova.
