Answer:

Seventeenth Amendment

Explanation:

According to Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution, senators had to be elected by state legislatures, but due to the increasing corruption and inefficiency in the legislative elections, Congress saw necessary to modify the law and create a new Amendment that supersedes that article. The Seventeenth Amendment (1913) was created with such purpose. Under this new Amendment, citizens were allowed to elect senators to Congress.

The law also modifies the procedure for filling vacancies in the Senate, stating that the state executive should fill the vacancies by making temporary appointments to serve until new elections are held.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Part one: The colony was founded mainly by planters from the overpopulated English sugar island of Barbados, who brought relatively large numbers of African slaves from that island to establish new plantations. To meet agricultural labor needs, colonists also practiced Indian slavery for some time.

Slaves included captives from wars and slave raids; captives bartered from other tribes, sometimes at great distances; children sold by their parents during famines; and men and women who staked themselves in gambling when they had nothing else, which put them into servitude in some cases for life.

The slaves in the New England would do house work. The Middle region slaves would help with house work and some crops that their owners had. The Southern slaves would usually work in the fields harvesting and planting crops such as cotton and tobacco.

The jobs in each region were different because they all harvest and require different needs. Slaves were important to the colonial economy because it helped them get a lot of work done.

England's southern colonies in North America developed a farm economy that could not survive without slave labor. Many slaves lived on large farms called plantations. These plantations produced important crops traded by the colony, crops such as cotton and tobacco.

Compare the Chinese and Indian approaches to the patriarchal family
Marysya12 [62]
It really depends on the time period, but if we're talking in general, China had Confucian views, while India had the caste system. Both were very patriarchal, but China's social system was more based on family values and India was more focused on jobs. China was way more strict ("women should stay in the house", foot binding, etc.) I hope this helps somewhat. :)
