Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Displays of orangutans and chimpanzees became common in zoos, as well as increased interest in fossil collections and comparisons.

Explanation:

British naturalist and biologist Charles Darwin (1809-1882) in his well-known book "<em>On the Origin of Species</em>" (1859) proposes that all life on Earth is connected and related to each other and the diversity of life is a result of modifications of populations by natural selection. Darwin also came up with the idea that species change over time and that all species have a common ancestor. This last idea was later used by Henry Huxley (1825-1895) in his book "<em>Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature</em>" (1863) where he concluded that apes and humans had a common ancestor.

Thanks to the display of apes in zoos and the increasing interest in finding fossils in America, its population on that day implicitly started to accept the new ideas on human evolution.

In Gibbons v. Ogden of 1824, what did the Supreme Court decide on the relationship between state and federal legislation?
krek1111 [17]

The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest federal court of the United States. Established pursuant to Article Three of the United States Constitution in 1789, it has ultimate (and largely discretionary) appellate jurisdiction over all federal courts and state court cases involving issues of federal law plus original jurisdiction over a small range of cases. In the legal system of the United States, the Supreme Court is generally the final interpreter of federal law including the United States Constitution, but it may act only within the context of a case, in which it has jurisdiction. The Court does not have power to decide political questions, and its enforcement arm is in the executive rather than judicial branch of government.

According to federal statute, the Court normally consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices who are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Once appointed, justices have lifetime tenure unless they resign, retire, or are removed after impeachment (though no justice has ever been removed).[1] In modern discourse, the justices are often categorized as having conservative, moderate, or liberal philosophies of law and of judicial interpretation. Each justice has one vote, and it is worth noting while a far greater number of cases in recent history have been decided unanimously, decisions in cases of the highest profile have come down to just one single vote, thereby exposing the justices' ideological beliefs that track with those philosophical or political categories. The Court meets in the Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C.

The Supreme Court is sometimes colloquially referred to as SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) similar to and in line with other acronyms such as POTUS (President of the United States).<span>[2]</span>
