On March 11, 1888, one of the worst blizzards in American history strikes the Northeast, killing more than 400 people and dumping as much as 55 inches of snow in some areas. New York City ground to a near halt in the face of massive snow drifts and powerful winds from the storm. At the time, approximately one in every four Americans lived in the area between Washington D.C. and Maine, the area affected by the Great Blizzard of 1888.
Answer:
The Pilgrims established a government of sorts under the Mayflower Compact of 1620, which enshrined the notion of the consent of the governed. Next, in 1630, the Puritans used the royal charter establishing the Massachusetts Bay Company to create a government in which “freemen”—white males who owned property and paid taxes and thus could take on the responsibility of governing—elected a governor and a single legislative body called the Great and General Court, made up of assistants and deputies.
Explanation:
Conflicts arose over the arbitrariness of the assistants, and in 1641 the legislature created the Body of Liberties. This document was a statement of principles for governance that protected individual liberties and was the basis for the guarantees later expressed in the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution. In 1644 this single body became an entity made up of two chambers: the House of Assistants (later the Senate) and the House of Deputies (later the House of Representatives). This set the precedent of bicameralism for most governmental legislatures in the United States, including the eventual federal legislature.

The correct answer is A.
The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was a United States federal law prohibiting all immigration of Chinese labor.
From 1870 to 1880, Chinese immigrants represented the largest group of nonwhite immigrants in the U.S. at the time.
The Chinese immigrants were mostly men and they provided cheap labor, often working on farms, railroad construction and in low-paying industrial jobs. They were seen as unfair economic competition by many Americans. They were blamed for low wages and reduced job opportunities and for bringing drugs, crime and prostitution to the States.
<em>To many, they posed an economic danger as they held job taken away from white Americans.</em>
