Nevada became the 36th state on October 31, 1864, after telegraphing the Constitution of Nevada to the Congress days before the November 8 presidential election (the largest and costliest transmission ever by telegraph). Statehood was rushed to help ensure three electoral votes for Abraham Lincoln's reelection and add to the Republican congressional majorities.[1]
Nevada's harsh but rich environment shaped its history and culture. Before 1858 small Mormon settlements along the border of Utah sustained their communities through faith, but the secular western section stumbled along until the great silver strikes beginning in 1858 created boom towns and fabulous fortunes. After the beginning of the 20th century, profits declined while Progressive reformers sought to curb rampaging capitalism
and its attendant miseries. They imagined a civilized Nevada of
universities, lofty idealism, and social reform. But an economic bust
during the 1910s and disillusionment from failures at social reform and a
population decline of nearly one-fourth meant that by 1920 Nevada had degenerated into a "beautiful desert of buried hopes."[2] The boom returned when big time gambling arrived in 1931, and with good transportation (especially to California metropolitan areas), the nation's easiest divorce laws,
and a speculative get-rich-quick spirit, Nevada had a boom-and-bust
economy that was mostly boom until the worldwide financial crisis of
2008 revealed extravagant speculation in housing and casinos on an epic
scale
The answer is letter D: It is the most accessible, but has the least amount of citizen involvement.
- Around 68% of citizens have more confidence in the local government than in the state and federal government. This is due to the fact that a lot of people can reach out easily to the local government and have issues dealt with faster than in the national and state levels. Though the local government is the most accessible, citizen involvement is at the minimum. In the past, it has been observed that citizen participation in local government decision making is at its lowest. There has been efforts to strengthen participation because it is an important component of a democratic society.

<span>One factor that spurred economic growth of the United States in the late 1800's was mass production, or the ability of certain factories and other workplaces to create mass amounts of food, materials, or other basic needs. A second factor that influenced growth was geographic expansion, when certain regions began having inhabitants who created small towns and the generation of business and wealth.</span>
The present, political and economic reforms reshaped interstate relations. This has accelerated changes caused by the other significant events in the period.
Hope this help's have a great day :)
