Correct answer:  B. Apportionment of members in the House of Representatives.

Explanation:

There are 435 members  in the House of Representatives in Congress.  That number has been set at that level since 1929.  The number of representatives per state is adjusted after each census, which is conducted every 10 years.  The US Constitution (Article 1, Section 2), says:  "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union."


Additional detail:

The number of electoral votes each state has in the Electoral College (for presidential elections) is also determined by the federal census.  Electoral College votes are aligned with the size of a state's overall Congressional representation, so the number of electoral votes each state gets (of the 538 total electoral votes) is recalculated every ten years, based on the most recent US Census data.

What did mexico do to expand farms and ranches in California ?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Explanation:

The Spanish and Mexican governments made many concessions and land grants in Alta California (now known as California) and Baja California from 1785 to 1846. The Spanish Concessions of land were made to retired soldiers as an inducement for them to remain in the frontier. These Concessions reverted to the Spanish crown upon the death of the recipient. The Mexican government later encouraged settlement by issuing much larger land grants to both native-born and naturalized Mexican citizens. The grants were usually two or more square leagues, or 35 square kilometres (14 sq mi) in size. Unlike Spanish Concessions, Mexican land grants provided permanent, unencumbered ownership rights. Most ranchos granted by Mexico were located along the California coast around San Francisco Bay, inland along the Sacramento River, and within the San Joaquin Valley.

When the government secularized the Mission churches in 1833, they required that land be set aside for each Neophyte family. But the Native Americans were quickly brushed aside by Californios who, with the help of those in power, acquired the church lands as grants. The indigenous peoples of the Americas ("Indians") instead became virtual slaves of the rancheros.

Spain made about 30 concessions between 1784 and 1821, and Mexico issued about 270 land grants between 1833 and 1846. The ranchos established permanent land-use patterns. The rancho boundaries became the basis for California's land survey system, and are found on modern maps and land titles. The "rancheros" (rancho owners) patterned themselves after the landed gentry of New Spain, and were primarily devoted to raising cattle and sheep. Their workers included Native Americans who had learned Spanish while living at one of the former Missions. The ranchos were often based on access to the resources necessary for raising cattle, such as grazing lands and water. Land development from that time forward has often followed the boundaries of the ranchos, and many of their names are still in use. For example, Rancho San Diego is now an unincorporated "rural-burb" east of San Diego, and Rancho Bernardo is a suburb in San Diego.
