D. FEMA

FEMA stands for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  Today, it operates as an agency within the Department of Homeland Security.  It was originally created in 1979 as a way of coordinating the response when a disaster occurs and local and state agencies are not enough to manage the situation.  

FEMA didn't manage the Katrina situation as well as it should have, and emphasis on making FEMA more responsive has been in focus since then. The annual budget of FEMA in 2017 was around 15 billion dollars ... but Congress needed to appropriate additional funds (to a total of around 22 billion dollars) because of the massive impact of hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria inflicted so much damage.  Those hurricanes did a total of about 200 billion dollars in damage -- FEMA is only one source of aid in efforts to rebuild and repair after disasters hit.

What was a major obstacle to drafting a new constitution at the Constitutional Convention of 1787?
arsen [322]

Answer: A. a disagreement between the states over representation in Congress.

The main disagreement was over whether representation would be the same for all states, or based on a state's population size.  Then there was also a question, for basing representation on population size, about whether slaves counted in a state's population or not.

The Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise were worked out during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787 in order to resolve these issues.

  • The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  Initially, a unicameral (one-chamber) legislature was envisioned.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size.  The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature.  Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.
  • The Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery.  For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures.  (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.)   The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.

jolli1 [7]

The greenhouse effect is often caused by the atmospheric accumulation of gases. Those gases tend to be Carbon Dioxide and/or Methane

The greenhouse effect is caused by these gases because Carbon Dioxide and Methane absorb some of the heat that radiates off of Earth's surface, trapping the heat and then the greenhouse gases absorb the heat and it leads to a rise in its temperature
