Eddi Din [679]
Original--President by electoral college, Senators by state legislators, and House of Representatives by direct vote. Direct vote is by land-owning, white, males who were 21 or older. 

President has remained the same.
Senators--changed to direct vote with the 17th Amendment in 1912
House of Representatives has remained the same.

Those who can vote has changed through time. In the 1820s and 1830s states removed the landowner condition for voting. In 1870, black men were given the right to vote under the 15th Amendment. In 1920, women were granted the right to vote under the 19th Amendment. Lastly, the age was moved from 21 to 18 in 1971 with the 26th Amendment.

Which news headline best assesses the impact of the hundred years war on medieval europe?

New Weapons Turn The Tide

With the new military technology, not only changed the War of the 100 years, but the whole war began to change in the world, like the English using cannons that could destroy the French castles; and new weapons like crossbows, which could shoot more arrows. While, among the French, the feeling of patriotism and nationalism began to grow as well, the English began to change the concept of fiefs, since the English needed large armies instead of feudal lords. The Italian cities flourished while England and France were recovering, and those Italian cities brought the Renaissance, the Reformation and the Age of Exploration.

Question 11 Unsaved Which descriptions are matched with the appropriate colony? Choose all answers that are correct. Question 11
Vsevolod [243]

The right options are: Jamestown – colony that prospered after the introduction of tobacco as a cash crop; and Rhode Island – colony formed to escape the harsh Puritan religion of Massachusetts.

The roanoke colony got its name after a native word that meant “things rubbed smooth by hand” or “to rub, smooth, or polish". Meaning a type of shell that was used as currency by the Native.

Massachusetts was exactly the opposite as the statements says, that's why Puritans fled to found the Rhode Island colony and the Connecticut colony.

The Puritans fled Britain to practice their religion freely, arriving to Massachusetts. They left this colony to found a colony where all religions were respected and free.
