Read the excerpt from Eighty Years and More. With this constant [teasing] from students and the sad complaints of the women, my

mind was sorely [confused]. So when, from time to time, my attention was called to these [horrible] laws, I would mark them with a pencil, and becoming more and more convinced of the necessity of taking some active measures against these unjust [laws], I resolved to seize the first opportunity, when alone in the office, to cut every one of them out of the books; supposing my father and his library were the beginning and the end of the law. Which statement best describes the central idea of this excerpt? Stanton first fought for gender equality when she discovered that she disagreed with her father. Stanton destroyed her father's law library because she did not agree with the laws. Stanton attempted to cut laws out of her father's books so he was unable to enforce them. Stanton discovered inequality and began fighting for gender equality at a young age.

Answer:

Stanton discovered inequality and began fighting for gender equality at a young age.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the main idea of the passage is the fact that Stanton discovered inequality early in her life, and that she began fighting against it. Although the passage includes a lot of details (the women complaining, her father's library, Stanton cutting laws out of books), none of these are vital for the message. Instead, they only serve as support for the main idea.

What hardships did child laborers face working in factories and mills?
egoroff_w [7]

oung children working endured some of the harshest conditions. Workdays would often be 10 to 14 hours with minimal breaks during the shift.  Factories employing children were often very dangerous places leading to injuries and even deaths.  Machinery often ran so quickly that little fingers, arms and legs could easily get caught. Beyond the equipment, the environment was a threat to children as well as factories put out fumes and toxins.  When inhaled by children these most certainly could result in illness, chronic conditions or disease.


Children working in rural areas were not faring much better. Harvesting crops in extreme temperatures for long hours was considered normal for these children. Work in agriculture was typically less regulated than factory duties. Farm work was often not considered dangerous or extraneous for children, even though they carried their weight and more in loads of produce and handled dangerous tools.

If you could only keep 3 Amendments, which ones would you keep? Give specific reasons why you would keep the most important one.
nikklg [1K]

Answer: If I had to keep only three amendments I would keep the 1st, 15th, and 19th amendments. I would keep the first amendment because it grants people the right to religious freedom, freedom of speech, and the right to peacefully assemble.  Those rights are very important because they give people freedom to express themselves. I would keep the 15th amendment, because it grants people the right to vote in US election no matter their race, color, ect... The last amendment I would keep is the 19th amendment, this amendment grants women the right to vote in US elections. I want to keep this amendment, because women deserve the right to vote, and to be treated as equals.

The two amendments I would cancel are the 16th amendment, and the 18th amendment. I cancel the 16th amendment because I do not feel that the government should get to take from my money. I would cancel the 18th amendment, because I do not think that it is important enough to be in the Us constitution.

Explanation: I had some trouble on the cancel part of this so look it over and see if you want to use it, but other than that I hope this helped :)
