Such postulate is totally true. The Writs of Assistance were legal orders, usually approached to the receiver by a law enforcement official. Historically, the Writs were used by the English Parlament, in order to battle off the smuggling activity taken place in any civil society under the United Kingdom’s domain. In the case of the United States, the Writs were used during the American Revolution (logically, from the colonizing U.K.).

Select the correct location on the map
Lunna [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the map. Without the map, we do not know what is its content. Just you know.

However, trying to help you, we can comment on the following based on our knowledge of the topic.

The region where the Underground Railroad maintained safe houses was Michigan.

Let's remember that the Underground Railroad was not a railroad per se, but a group of people that helped crossed the southern lines to the Northern states, so slaves could escape from the tyranny of the owners of the large plantations of the South. It was the Quakers in the 1800s who started to form this group and helped slaves to escape.

On the other hand, Dred and Harriet Scott were two black slaves that sued for their liberty in the 1840s, claiming they had lived in a free territory. The Supreme Court decision or better known as the Dred Scott decision infuriated many people in the North and was one of the reasons for the beginning of the American Civil War.

What types of reform did the Pahlavis introduce ? How did Iranian citizens respond ?
anyanavicka [17]
The first Shah of the Pahlavis Dynasty, Reza Shah came to power by means of a coup in 1921 and was able to secure power over the political and government system within a few years. He did so by establishing social structure and order, eliminating any threats to his power through rebellion, and having himself named Shah in 1925. Reza Shah wanted to implement sweeping reform programs including projects meant to industrialize Iran and improve access to public education and healthcare. While these programs were meant to help the Iranian people, some reacted harshly to his authoritarian style authroitarian style of rule and many religious and educated peoples spoke out against the ruler. 

Reza Shah was eventaully displaced from power, placed into exile by the British and succeeded by his son, Mohammad Reza Shah. Like his father, the second Pahlavi ruler supported reform programs meant to develop Iran's economy and support it's people. However, these attempts were meant with reservations by many people who faced more economic hardship and disparity rather than oppporutnity. This resentment led many to support revolutionary ideas and movements, which eventually saw the collapse of the Shah's government in 1978 and 1979.
