The correct answer is option D. "Companies replaced hand-operated brakes with air brakes on trains". The development of air brakes on trains was a significant improvement of railroad safety. Air brakes function much more faster than hand-operated brakes, because hand-operated brakes required that the brakemen turned the brakes in one car and jump to the next to set the brakes on, and so on.

<span>The region that the Franks invaded after crossing the Rhine River is D. Gaul. This is because neither of the other countries existed, per se. During the ancient, Gaul was the territory that included today's France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Switzerland, Northern Italy, but also parts of the Netherlands and Germany, so obviously that is the correct answer.

The correct answer is B) Adams believed that women had traditionally been denied a voice in society’s affairs and that this should change.
<em>The statement that best describes Abigail Adam’s view on the role of women in society is “Adams believed that women had traditionally been denied a voice in society’s affairs and that this should change.

In the excerpt ,we can read that Adams is demanding for a better role of women in society when she says “In the new Code of Laws…Remember the ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them, than your ancestors.” Adams is considered a rebellion in case this won’t happen when she says “…We are determined to foment a (Rebellion), and we will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or Representation.”
That is why the statement that best describes Abigail Adam’s view on the role of women in society is “Adams believed that women had traditionally been denied a voice in society’s affairs and that this should change.
The Supreme Court can declare laws passed by Congress (the House of Representatives and the Senate) to be unconstitutional.
More detail:
Judicial review refers to the courts' ability to review any law to see if it violates any existing law or any statute of a state constitution or the US Constitution. On the federal level, Marbury v. Madison (1803) is considered the landmark case for the Supreme Court asserting its authority of judicial review, to strike down a law as unconstitutional.
Background on the landmark case concerning the Supreme Court's power of judicial review:
It was sort of a roundabout way in which the principle of judicial review was asserted by the Supreme Court in the case of Marbury v. Madison. William Marbury had been appointed Justice of the Peace for the District of Columbia by outgoing president John Adams -- one of a number of such last-minute appointments made by Adams. When Thomas Jefferson came into office as president, he directed his Secretary of State, James Madison, not to deliver many of the commission papers for appointees such as Marbury. Marbury petitioned the Supreme Court directly to hear his case, as a provision of the Judiciary Act of 1789 had made possible. The Court said that particular provision of the Judiciary Act was in conflict with Article III of the Constitution, and so they could not issue a specific ruling in Marbury's case (which they believe he should have won). Nevertheless, in making their statement about the case, the Court established the principle of judicial review.
