Before 1895 the streets [of New York City] were almost universally in a filthy state. In wet weather they were covered with slime, and in dry weather that air was filled with dust. Artificial sprinkling in summer converted the dust to mud…Rubbish of all kinds, garbage, and ashes lay neglected in the streets, and in the hot weather the city stank with the emanations of putrefying organic matter. It was not always possible to see the pavement, because of the dirt that covered it…[Now]…New York is…clean…Few realize [the changes]…For example, there is far less injury from dust to clothing, to furniture…children make free use as a playground of streets which were formally impossible to them. “Scratches” a skin disease of the horses to mud and slush...is now almost unknown…” NYC Commissioner George E. Waring, Jr. 1897, Quoted in Hoogenboom and Hoogenboom [ed.], The Gilded Age

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Olmsted thought life has changed in America by 1871 in that it had become more modern, Americans became auto sufficient, towns had grown, and life was different due to dedicated work.

He expressed it in phrases such as: "...it used to be a matter of pride with the better sort of our country people that they could raise on their own land or manufacture within their own households almost everything needed for domestic consumption.

Fredrick Olmsted is considered to be the father of modern architecture in the United States and designed important American iconic places such as the US Capitol and Central Park.

Hope this helps! - Oseli

Both compulsory and voluntary voting systems have merit, and this has to be considered if it were to be implemented in the U.S. A large benefit would be more voter representation. Democracy is very important to the united states, but low voter turnout means that it can be difficult for every person's voice to be heard. Furthermore, some people, like prisoners, don't get the right to vote, and this also hinders representation, especially concerning laws surrounding the justice system. However, a con of a mandatory system is that it Violates the freedom of choice, which in America value greatly. Free choice is an important right, and the government mandating voting can be seen as a violation of this. Making more people vote in incredibly needed yo have a healthy democratic country, but at the same time, it is also debatable whether mandatory voting is the best way to do it.

The Declaration of Independence begin with the words, “The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America.” Why
OlgaM077 [116]

The correct answer is:

Answers will vary. Most students might note that it was necessary for Jefferson to prove

that the Continental Congress presented a united front to the world in order to prove that

independence was the true goal of the colonies. Others may state that since each state

provided signers to the document, it was obvious that all thirteen colonies accepted it.

As to the question of whether the 13 colonies could have declared independence if they

weren’t unanimous, answers will vary. Most students might state that independence

would be difficult without the support of all thirteen colonies, but some might say

independence without consensus was still possible. For instance, colonies that objected

could be absorbed into Canada or find a way to peacefully co-exist with those that

seceded.
