What were Alaska and Hawaii before they were states?

1 answer:

4 0

ALASKA was a Russian colony from 1744 until the USA bought it in 1867 for $7,200,000. It was made a state in 1959. ALASKA was also a "territory" until May 1959. Statehood requires a minimum population.

Hawaii was a kingdom until 1893 and became a republic in 1894. It then ceded itself to the USA in 1898 and became a state in 1959. IMMEDIATELY before Hawaii achieved statehood in 1959, it was a Territory of the US. However, it had been a sovereign constitutional monarchy until 1893, when the last Queen, Lili'uokalani, was deposed by a group of American sugar planters and missionaries, with the support of the US marines.

"Soft money" is the name given to donations that are made to political candidates through a loophole created by the 1974 Federal Election Campaign Act.

Which of these is TRUE of the United States Senate? A) filibusters are not allowed B) members serve two year terms C) there are

FinnZ [79.3K]

The correct answer is C. There are no limits on debate in the United States Senate. The Senate has a tradition of unlimited debate which has developed due to its relatively small size. The "filibuster" is one such example of this. The House of Representatives DO have limits, as well as two year terms and a Speaker who leads the members.
