The correct answer is A.
The human race was not originated in America. The first settlers were nomadic people from the Paleolithic era, who arrived in the continent approximately 15,000 years ago using the Beringia land bridge. This crossing was possible because the sea level had decreased abruptly after the Last Glacial Maximum. Today this piece of land has become the Bearing Strait, separating Siberia (Rusia) and Alaska (US).
In the early days, Chicago was inhabited by Algonquian people. With the opening of the Illinois and Michigan Canal - that runs down to the Gulf of Mexico - and the first rail line to Chicago, the city started to become the national transportation hub with road, rail, water and, air connections. Also, Chicago sits in the center of the most fertile agricultural areas of the United States. Because of all those factors, Chicago grew quickly - in less than 20 years the population grew from 4 thousand inhabitants to 169 thousand.
The quartering act is wrong because it forces people to pay for a standing army that they didn't want there to begin with. The Quartering Act in the English colonies forced colonists to house a standing army that was there to keep the colonists from revolting. They had to share their food and homes with people that they did not necessarily like. The government did not give people the freedom to choose if they wanted to house guests.
<span>Congressional staff increased greatly in the 20th century due to the shift in politics from grassroots to higher levels of lobbying, groups and special interests. The congress person was not only invested in their district but in those special interest groups requesting meetings and events with the congressperson. By increasing staff, they would be able to learn more about these groups and lobbyists so they could make a more informed decision. It also allowed the staff to deal directly with the public. A congressman in the early 20th century would only have in person visits and the occasional phone call, but by the end of the 20th century, the congressperson would have contact via appointment, call, letter, email and even rudimentary instant contact via Instant Messenger and sites like Myspace.</span>
