This noble city contains many fine and magnificent houses; which may be accounted for from the fact, that all the nobility of th

e country, who are the vassals of Moctezuma, have houses in the city, in which they reside a certain part of the year; and besides, there are numerous wealthy citizens who also possess fine houses. All these persons, in addition to the large and spacious apartments for ordinary purposes, have others, both upper and lower, that contain conservatories of flowers. Along one of the causeways that lead into the city are laid two pipes, constructed of masonry, each of which is two paces in width, and about five feet in height. An abundant supply of excellent water, forming a volume equal in bulk to the human body, is conveyed by one of these pipes, and distributed about the city, where it is used by the inhabitants for drinking and other purposes. The other pipe, in the meantime, is kept empty until the former requires to be cleansed, when the water is let into it and continues to be used till the cleansing is finished. As the water is necessarily carried over bridges on account of the salt water crossing its route, reservoirs resembling canals are constructed on the bridges, through which the fresh water is conveyed. These reservoirs are of the breadth of the body of an ox, and of the same length as the bridges. The whole city is thus served with water, which they carry in canoes through all the streets for sale, taking it from the aqueduct in the following manner: the canoes pass under the bridges on which the reservoirs are placed, when men stationed above fill them with water, for which service they are paid.

Why would the Louisiana purchase have hurt the federalist politically?
olasank [31]

Answer:

As seems to happen so often in politics, the Federalists opposed the Louisiana Purchase not on principled grounds but because they thought it would hurt them politically. They claimed to oppose the Purchase because it was unconstitutional.

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP I WILL MARK YOU THE BRAINLIEST
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

so basically u can just pick and choose what info u want to use:

During the Progressive Era between 1896–1916, social activism and political reform became widely renowned and certain laws were set in place to keep large businesses in check, such as the Pendleton Act. This act made it unlawful to fire or demote an employee based on political stance. This makes me think about a more recent act that was passed called The Americans with Disabilities Act. which not only provides equal treatment to disabled persons in day-to-day life but is also, similar to the Pendleton Act. as it protects persons with diabilities from being fired or demoted without reasonable cause.

wait nvm thats not really on topic....

During my lifetime the government has more or less decreased the regulations set in place to keep large businesses in check. When looking at certain acts like the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act, which was updated in 2017, makes it so that all workers in the US are paid minimum wage up to the national minimum wage, along with other benefits. However, debates on whether minimum wage is truly a livable wage have been brought up. This then allows many large businesses to exploit and go around this law, allowing them to grow bigger and bigger. um... i dont know if this is any good nvm
