An upper house, sometimes called a Senate, is one of two chambers of a bicameral legislature (or one of three chambers of a tricameral legislature), the other chamber being the lower house. The house formally designated as the upper house is usually smaller, and often has more restricted power, than the lower house.

Answer:

The upper house of a state legislature is usually called <u>the Senate.</u>

Explanation:

In most governments that have a bicameral legislature, there is an upper house and a lower house. The upper house, which it's also smaller in size and has longer terms, is usually called the Senate.

The United States' upper house, for example, is the Senate and it is composed of two senators per state which makes it smaller than the House of Representatives (the lower house) whose number of members depends on each state's population, and therefore, it is larger. Also, the Senate also has particular powers that the Houses do not have such as the power to conduct impeachment trials, to advice, approve or reject presidential appointees to executive and judicial branch posts and to approve treaties made by the executive branch.

15 different facts on the Weapons of the Revolutionary War.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

At the end of the musket most soldiers had a bayonet attached. A bayonet was a sharp pointed metal blade around 17 inches long. The bayonet turned the musket into a spear that could be used to charge and gore an enemy. British soldiers were especially skilled fighters with the bayonet.

Cannon

Both sides used a variety of artillery (large guns) during the war. Cannons could be made somewhat mobile when they were mounted on large wheels. They fired solid shells, exploding shells, and grapeshot. Cannons were effective in destroying fortifications or sinking ships. Sometimes cannons were fired strait at a line of approaching enemy troops tearing right through them and stopping their charge.

The smooth-bore muskets of the Revolutionary War were not very accurate and could not reliably hit a target beyond 100 yards. It took the average soldier around 15 to 20 seconds to load the musket allowing him to fire 3 to 4 shots a minute.

Brown Bess and Bayonet

Source: American Military History:

Volume 1

The weapons and battle tactics used by both sides during the Revolutionary War were consistent with those used by European armies for the previous 15 or so years. Both sides used similar weapons and fought using similar tactics.

Muskets

The primary weapon used by both sides was the musket. The most popular type of musket was the British made Brown Bess. The Brown Bess had a smooth bore and was loaded through the muzzle. Another popular musket was the Charleville made by the French. It was similar to the Brown Bess.

Rifles were also used during the Revolutionary War. Rifles were more accurate than muskets, but took a lot longer time to load. Cavalry (soldiers on horseback) used pistols and sabers to fight with as they were easier to use while riding a horse. Soldiers often carried knives or small hatchets, but these were rarely used in major battles.

How should the rebellious Southern states be reintegrated, both politically and economically, into the union?
KatRina [158]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The rebellious Southern states would be reintegrated, both politically and economically, into the union in the following way.

After the end of the American Civil War, in 1893, Lincoln created the "10 percent plan," which represented the beginning of the reunification process. It required that 10 percent of the southerners that voted in the election of 1890 to take an oath of allegiance to the Union. If that happened, then the southern states could create their own state constitutions. US President Abraham Lincoln also ordered Reconstruction for the Southern States and gave these former Confederated states leeway to do Reconstruction at their own pace.
