Answer:

The correct answer is A. The ICC was formed to oversee railroad operations.

Explanation:

The Interstate Commerce Commission was established by the Interstate Commerce Act, a federal law of February 4, 1887. The ICC was the first independent agency at the federal level. With the approval of the US Senate, the President of the United States appointed its members, who had a degree of independence in their decisions.

The original purpose of the ICC was to regulate rail transport (and later also truck traffic). From 1910 to 1934 it also regulated the telephone services between the states. This responsibility was transferred in 1934 to the newly created Federal Communications Commission. Due to various deregulation measures of the US Congress in the 1970s and 1980s, the ICC lost more and more skills. It was abolished in 1995. The responsibilities that have been left to it were handled by the Surface Transportation Board.

Does bullying impact the world?
denis23 [38]

Simple answer, yes.

Long answer, bullying impacts the world because for example, many kids bullied in grade school have affected lives later. It usually turns out to be worst nightmares of bullies, but this is only is applicable for violent ones. Bullying isn't always negative. It sometimes matures and grows people to stand up. But not all people stand up which is why it still impacts the world. Racism is an example of bullying. Its bullying a person because of their race. Judging in other words.

The speech says, "A childhood friend once said about Mrs. Parks, 'Nobody
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Explanation:

THE PRESIDENT:  Mr. Speaker, Leader Reid, Leader McConnell, Leader Pelosi, Assistant Leader Clyburn; to the friends and family of Rosa Parks; to the distinguished guests who are gathered here today.

This morning, we celebrate a seamstress, slight in stature but mighty in courage.  She defied the odds, and she defied injustice.  She lived a life of activism, but also a life of dignity and grace.  And in a single moment, with the simplest of gestures, she helped change America -- and change the world.

Rosa Parks held no elected office.  She possessed no fortune; lived her life far from the formal seats of power.  And yet today, she takes her rightful place among those who’ve shaped this nation’s course.  I thank all those persons, in particular the members of the Congressional Black Caucus, both past and present, for making this moment possible.  (Applause.)

A childhood friend once said about Mrs. Parks, “Nobody ever bossed Rosa around and got away with it.”  (Laughter.)  That’s what an Alabama driver learned on December 1, 1955.  Twelve years earlier, he had kicked Mrs. Parks off his bus simply because she entered through the front door when the back door was too crowded.  He grabbed her sleeve and he pushed her off the bus.  It made her mad enough, she would recall, that she avoided riding his bus for a while.

And when they met again that winter evening in 1955, Rosa Parks would not be pushed.  When the driver got up from his seat to insist that she give up hers, she would not be pushed.  When he threatened to have her arrested, she simply replied, “You may do that.”

A few days later, Rosa Parks challenged her arrest.  A little-known pastor, new to town and only 26 years old, stood with her -- a man named Martin Luther King, Jr.  So did thousands of Montgomery, Alabama commuters.  They began a boycott -- teachers and laborers, clergy and domestics, through rain and cold and sweltering heat, day after day, week after week, month after month, walking miles if they had to, arranging carpools where they could, not thinking about the blisters on their feet, the weariness after a full day of work -- walking for respect, walking for freedom, driven by a solemn determination to affirm their God-given dignity.

It’s been often remarked that Rosa Parks’s activism didn’t begin on that bus.  Long before she made headlines, she had stood up for freedom, stood up for equality -- fighting for voting rights, rallying against discrimination in the criminal justice system, serving in the local chapter of the NAACP.  Her quiet leadership would continue long after she became an icon of the civil rights movement, working with Congressman Conyers to find homes for the homeless, preparing disadvantaged youth for a path to success, striving each day to right some wrong somewhere in this world.

And yet our minds fasten on that single moment on the bus -- Ms. Parks alone in that seat, clutching her purse, staring out a window, waiting to be arrested.  That moment tells us something about how change happens, or doesn’t happen; the choices we make, or don’t make.  “For now we see through a glass, darkly,” Scripture says, and it’s true.  Whether out of inertia or selfishness, whether out of fear or a simple lack of moral imagination, we so often spend our lives as if in a fog, accepting injustice, rationalizing inequity, tolerating the intolerable.

Like the bus driver, but also like the passengers on the bus, we see the way things are -- children hungry in a land of plenty, entire neighborhoods ravaged by violence, families hobbled by job loss or illness -- and we make excuses for inaction, and we say to ourselves, that's not my responsibility, there’s nothing I can do.

Rosa Parks tell us there’s always something we can do.  She tells us that we all have responsibilities, to ourselves and to one another.  She reminds us that this is how change happens -- not mainly through the exploits of the famous and the powerful, but through the countless acts of often anonymous courage and kindness and fellow feeling and responsibility that continually, stubbornly, expand our conception of justice -- our conception of what is possible.

Rosa Parks’s singular act of disobedience launched a movement.  The tired feet of those who walked the dusty roads of Montgomery helped a nation see that to which it had once been blind.  It is because of these men and women that I stand here today.  It is because of them that our children grow up in a land more free and more fair; a land truer to its founding creed.

And that is why this statue belongs in this hall -- to remind us, no matter how humble or lofty our positions, just what it is that leadership requires; just what it is that citizenship requires.  Rosa Parks would have turned 100 years old this month. We do well by placing a statue of her here.  But we can do no greater honor to her memory than to carry forward the power of her principle and a courage born of conviction.

What is a main reason that the alliance between Ousamequin’s people and the people of Plymouth ended?
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

D. The settlers insisted on sharing the land.

Explanation:

As time passed, tens of thousands of settlers from New England came into the colony and so they had to expand the land where they settled. What caused a strain in the alliance with Native Indians was the fact that the English people wanted the Natives to give up their land for them.

To solve the problem they bought a large expanse of land from the Sachem or Massosoit who was the leader of the natives to accommodate their growing population. The expanse of land was about fourteen miles square.
