The 18th amendment deals with alcohol

The correct answer is: "18th Amendment"

The 18th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified in 1919 and it finally recognized the claims made by the temperance movement during the previous decades, by imposing a total ban on alcoholic beverages, known as the Prohibition. Alcoholic drinks could not be produced, distributed, sold or consumed anymore, <u>because its detractors claimed that alcohold led to inmoral and violent attitutudes and that, on top, it was bad for human health. </u>

This amendment was subsequently replaced by the 21st Amendment in 1933 and therefore, the Prohibition only functioned for 24 years.

What ideas or events caused the populations of Philadelphia and New York City to change over time?
NeX [460]

Answer:

The press was barred from covering the event , even though there were 10 newspapers in Philadelphia at the time. The population of the United States of America was about 3.9 million, according to the 1790 Census. About 700,000 people were being held as slaves.

Explanation:

Back in 1787, the delegates who started the convention on May 25th were locked in a building for most of the summer, without the modern comfort of air conditioning.

The press was barred from covering the event , even though there were 10 newspapers in Philadelphia at the time.

The population of the United States of America was about 3.9 million, according to the 1790 Census. About 700,000 people were being held as slaves. And outside of the census were at least 150,000 Native Americans.

Among that population, only a small number of people were eligible to vote, about 6 percent. Most states restricted voting to white adult men of property.

Today, registered U.S residents who are 18 years of age or older can vote. In 2008, more than 132 million people voted in the general election.

The young nation’s capital was in New York City, compared with Washington, D.C. today.

The biggest city in the U.S. in 1787 was Philadelphia, soon to be surpassed by New York. The City of Brotherly Love had about 40,000 residents in its vicinity.

Today, New York City has more than 8 million residents.

At the convention of 1787, 12 of the 13 states in the union were represented during the summer. Since 1959, the U.S. has had 50 states.

Back in the post-Colonial day, the average life expectancy was around 34 ½ years of age, compared with 78 years of age in 2011. (There are differing life expectancy estimates for people who were slaves in that era.)

But in some ways, things weren’t that different. The average height of a male in 1787 was 5 feet 8 inches, compared with 5 feet 9 ½ inches today. And among the general male populace, excluding those held in slavery, daily meat consumption averaged 8 ounces per day, about one ounce more than today.

However, there was a big difference in the amount of alcohol consumed in 1787. Drinking everything from beer to cider to whiskey to rum to wine was part of everyday life for men, women and children. A good number of people drank at three meals a day (if they had three meals) and at social gathering spots.

Some historians argue that the imbibing needs to be put in context. During the era, people did more physical labor and worked in more extreme conditions, which led to more calories being burned off quickly.
