The Immigration Act of 1924 produced highly discriminatory results because it set a max on how many immigrants could come to the US depending on what country they came from.
For example, there were many more opportunities for citizens from countries like Germany, Great Britain, and Sweden in comparison to individuals from Italy or Russia. Here are some numbers to support this claim:
Germany's Quota (aka amount that could come into US)- 51,227
Great Britain and Northern Ireland's Quota- 34,0007
Sweden's Quota- 9,561
Italy's Quota- 3,845
Russia's Quota-2, 248.
The
Scarlet Letter shows readers the lives of a Puritan community in the 17th
century. Religion (blind religion) meant everything to them, and the words of
their Reverends was law. Breaking any religious rules was punished by public
humiliation and punishment of the person who committed it, for example, Hester
Prynne. When the church found out that she was committing adultery, they forced
her to wear a scarlet letter 'A' on her chest, so that her sin could follow her
everywhere and she (and others in the community), could be constantly reminded
of it. <span>
<span>This kind of belief in punishing supposed "sinners"
made relationships between men and women in this Puritan community very
strained. Religion governed their way of life. They failed to realize that no
human is perfect, and no human can precisely follow that kind of a lifestyle.
In the end, when the reader finds out who the man was that Hester had committed
adultery with, it is obvious what Hawthorne was trying to communicate about
such strict organized religion; no one is as perfect as God, therefore looking
up to reverends and priests in such a blind belief is dangerous because they
are only human and make similar mistakes as everyone else.</span></span>
Answer:
A House and Senate, one representing all states equally, and one representing based on population
Explanation:
I'm going to assume that based on the information and question you gave that it's a graphic organizer comparing the 3/5 Compromise with the Connecticut Compromise and the blank spot is for the resolution of the CT Compromise. A House and Senate was created so that there would be equal representation.
Answer:
Humans cause change in the environment as there is overwhelming evidence that human activities, especially burning fossil fuels, are leading to increased levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which in turn amplify the natural greenhouse effect, causing the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere, ocean, and land surface to increase. That greenhouse gases "trap" infrared heat is well established through laboratory experiments going back to 1856 when Eunice Foote first measured the effect.The well-documented trend of increasing of CO2 in the atmosphere is caused by the burning of fossil fuels and massive land cover changes. The "smoking gun" that shows clearly that human activities are responsible for recent increases in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is provided by carbon isotopes (carbon atoms of different atomic weight). These isotopes allow scientists to "fingerprint" the source of the carbon dioxide molecules, which reveal that the increased CO2 in the atmosphere is caused by fossil fuel burning also.
Answer:
An atmosphere is the layer of gases that surrounds a planet.
Explanation:
The definition above is exactly what an atmosphere is.
All planets have atmospheres, of varying compositions depending on the location of the planet, the distance from the star they go round, the composition of the planet itself, and the presence or not of other celestial bodies nearby like moons or large asteroids.
Mars for example, has a very thin atmosphere, something that makes it hard for life to prosper in the red planet (so far, we have no evidence of life in Mars), and also makes it very cold, because atmospheres also act as mitigators of planetary climates.
