Even without the map, we can assert this:  T<span>he federal government promoted transcontinental railroad construction.

Railroads were given land grants by the federal government, which not only provided land for the railroad itself, but the companies were able to sell some parcels of the granted land to help finance railroad construction.   The railroad companies also received government bonds for completing certain amounts of track miles across the plains.  Provisions like these were in the </span><span>Pacific Railroad Acts of 1862 and 1864.

Explain the headright system, the land lottery and the Yazoo land fraud in 3 sentences.
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:If it does not help well i am sorry hope this does help

Explanation:

Yazoo land fraud, in U.S. history, scheme by which Georgia legislators were bribed in 1795 to sell most of the land now making up the state of Mississippi (then a part of Georgia’s western claims) to four land companies for the sum of $500,000, far below its potential market value. News of the Yazoo Act and the dealing behind it aroused anger throughout the state and resulted in a large turnover of legislators in the 1796 election. The new legislature promptly rescinded the act and returned the money. By this time, however, much of the land had been resold to third parties, who refused the state’s money and maintained their claim to the territory. The dispute between Georgia and the land companies continued into the 1800s. The state of Georgia ceded its claim to the region to the U.S. government in 1802. Finally the issue was reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, and in 1810 Chief Justice John Marshall ruled in Fletcher v. Peck that the rescinding law was an unconstitutional infringement on a legal contract. By 1814 the government had taken possession of the territory, and Congress awarded the claimants more than $4,000,000. The fraud was named for the Yazoo River, which runs through most of the region.

Write two to four sentences that explain the pros and cons of shorter and longer terms for your school legislature.
trasher [3.6K]

<span>A good side of the short term is that those who are representing will have more focus on the work they are responsible for and will not lose motivation. Another aspect I that with the shorter term more people will have the opportunity to participate in administration bringing out new ideas and innovations competing and trying to show the best in the time. A negative side is that sometime someone can commit mistake which they want to rectify but cannot due to short term which can be a plus point for long term. </span>
