<span>With respect to utilities, the main reform that was enacted was public ownership.  Progressives wanted to prevent big businesses from owning these sorts of necessary services and so they tended to take them under public ownership.With city government in general, the trend was towards reforms that took power from the urban political machines.  These included reforms like instituting the secret ballot and having non-partisan, at-large elections for city government.  These reforms were meant to prevent machines from gaining strength through their domination of areas where large numbers of immigrants lived.  There were also cities in which attempts were made to take power from mayors and distribute it more widely (weak mayor, strong council system of government) or to people who would govern professionally (city managers) instead of basing their decisions on politics.In these ways, Progressive reformers hoped to make city government more responsive to the middle classes.</span>

14. Commodore Matthew Perry's arrival in Japan caused an end to what for the Shogunate?
Elis [28]

Answer:

The answer is D. The period of isolationism.

Explanation:

US Commodore Matthew C. Perry´s mission was to make Japan open to trade. He first arrived in 1853, conveying a letter from the president of the United States.  He returned in 1854. Perry´s mission effectively forced the end of the self-imposed isolation of Japan which had existed since the first half of the 17th century. Japan was closed to the outside world by the Tokugawa shogunate, only Dutch vessels were permitted to anchor at Yokohama´s bay and conduct limited trade with the Japanese.

How does the Constitution's Article I ban on ex post facto laws protect people?<br><br><br> pls help
Paha777 [63]
The clause is really a state's rights clause. A state may not pass a law that makes something illegal that was legal before the law was passed. In other words if a state suddenly passed a law that said it is no longer legal to park your car in front of any government building, but it was legal to do so yesterday, the police cannot come to your door and issue a ticket for parking in front of a government building because you did it yesterday. 

The constitution actually uses the phrase ex post facto law in Article 1 Section 10 Clause 1.
