History

Pani-rosa [81]4 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is D. In ancient Roman families, the father had complete control over all members of the family.

Explanation:

Roman society was essentially based on the family as the fundamental pillar of society, and within it men, the father of the family, exercised totalitarian control over all its members. Thus a patriarchy was exercised, in which the father of the family (called pater familias) had absolute power over it.

The powers of the pater familias as head of the house varied. The word of the pater familias was considered irrevocably final. According to the archaic law of the twelve tables, the pater familias exercised the vitae necisque potestas - the power over life and death - over the members of the family. Under certain circumstances he was allowed to kill his children, his slaves or his wife. However, this right was restricted by social control.

Rufina [12.5K]

When the house and senate passed substantially different versions of a bill, a senator can convene a <u>Conference Committee</u>, which is a temporary panel composed of senior members of both chambers, called "managers", and appointed by presiding officers of the Senate.

In the Conference Committee, representatives of each chamber work together to reconcile their difference in order to reach a compromise. if a compromise is reached, the managers prepare a conference report and then they send it to each chamber. Once the conference report is approved by the chambers, the bill is sent to the President for signature and becomes a law.

Why were people in the 1820's attracted to factory work?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

a lot of the people who worked at factories were attracted to them, because most of them were immigrants who were searching jobs and religious freedom

Explanation:

Ninety percent of the American people in the 1820s still lived and worked on farms, and many urban residents were skilled artisans who were not likely to flock to factory jobs. The beginnings of an industrial labor supply came instead from the transformation of American agriculture in the nineteenth century. In the Northeast, and especially in New England, where poor land had always placed harsh limits on farm productivity, rural people began leaving the land to work in the factories. Two systems of recruitment emerged to bring this new labor supply to the expanding textile mills. One, common in the mid-Atlantic states, brought whole families from the farm to the mill. The second system, common in Massachusetts, enlisted young women (the Lowell or Waltham system). Many of these women worked for several years in the factories, saved their wages, and returned home to marry and raise children. Others married men they met in the factories or in town and remained part of the industrial world. Labor conditions in these early years of the factory system were significantly better than those in English industry. The employment of young children created undeniable hardships. Immigrants became increasingly desirable to work in factories because they were willing to take the menial jobs that other Americans refused to take

ahrayia [7]

Answer: They allowed the city to supply power to a U.S. Warship, thereby earning some money.

Explanation:  The stock market crashed in the last quarter of 1929 and sent the U.S. economy into a recession. Banks were failing, investment was low and many people were unemployed. In 1933, the new president Franklin Roosevelt was determined to revive the economy and found ways to achieve this in all the states. New, cheap energy generated in Seattle and Tacoma was key to getting more people employed. Towards the end of the 1930s, Seattle and Tacoma got involved in the war effort by providing the energy needed to build bomber planes and ships in Washington.
