The correct answer is representation.

At the constitutional convention, big and small states fought constantly over representation in the legislative branch (also known as Congress). Having power in the legislative branch is important because this branch makes federal laws which all citizens are expected to follow.

Big states wanted representation in the legislative branch to be based on population. This would allow larger states, like Virginia, to have more power in terms of making laws. However, smaller states wanted equal representation in the legislative branch. That way each state had the same amount of power, regardless of size.

Ultimately, the two sides compromised with the House of Representatives being based on a states population and the Senate having two senators from each state, regardless of population.

Ghella [55]

Answer:  C) showed the US backed the independence of Latin America.

Explanation:

The United States was still young at the time the Monroe Doctrine was declared, and did not have a powerful navy to be patrolling the South American coast at that time.  But the US did want to keep European powers from encroaching into the Western Hemisphere, and wanted to put Europe on notice to that effect.  

President James Monroe asserted the doctrine in his annual address to Congress in 1823.  The doctrine was that the US would not interfere in European affairs, but also would view any attempts by European powers to take control of any nation in the Western Hemisphere as a hostile act against the United States.

As reported by the US Office of the Historian, there were some additional motives in mind in the US position, in addition to backing the independence of Latin American nations.  "Monroe’s administration forewarned the imperial European powers against interfering in the affairs of the newly independent Latin American states or potential United States territories. While Americans generally objected to European colonies in the New World, they also desired to increase United States influence and trading ties throughout the region to their south."

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Theodora raised the reputation of women

Theodora was a Byzantine empress, married to Justinian.

She was as beautiful as she was intelligent and made a point of raising the reputation of women in her government by developing laws that would allow women to have established and respected rights, prohibiting trafficking in girls, changing divorce laws, so that women would not be impaired or devalued, among others.

In what way was the scopes trial an example of the cultural conflicts that existed in american society in the 1920s?
nikdorinn [45]
The Scopes Trial symbolized the cultural conflict between science and religion during the 1920's.

John T. Scopes was a substitute teacher who was arrested for teaching the theory of evolution to a group of students in Tennessee. This teaching broke a state law, as teachers were supposed to discuss creationism not evolution. Scopes was arrested and put on trial. This became a famous case, as it showed the differences between the science and religious communities. During this time, individuals who were not conformists or questioned authority were seen in a negative light. This was especially true for those trying to question religion, as many associated this quality with communism.
