How are minor US territories different from Commonwealths or major territories such as Guam?

History
1 answer:
viva [34]3 years ago

Unlike the States of the Union or a <u>Commonwealth (Union of several sovereign states)</u>, the US territories are considered as sub-national administrative divisions, this means that these territories are without sovereignty and thus they lack representation in Congress and are administered directly by the federal government.

These territories can be classified as incorporated or unincorporated as well as if they have an organized government or not.

It's important to make a note here since the US has 16 territories, <u>5 of which are inhabited and have a government (Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico)</u> and <u>11 which are islands with no population or government.</u>

How did workers respond to big business?​
navik [9.2K]
They began to protest but in the workforce is known as strike. Others also were journalists who were known as muckrakers such as Ida B. Tarbell who responded to the big business of standardized oil and how that company was a monopoly. Because of the unjust way Rockefeller’s standard oil company got money there were laws passed to prevent this such as the Sherman-Anti Trust Act. Hope this helped!

MrMuchimi

The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves  a. Throughout the entire United States (Union and Confederate territories).

The Emancipation Proclamation was made by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863.

In the Proclamation, the President mentioned that anyone that was still holding onto slaves within any state will be considered to be in rebellion against the government of the United States.

So, this proclamation covered the slaves in all territories of the United States but most importantly, the Confederate States.

Social Security provides income to retired, unemployed, and disabled workers. Benefits are based on how long a worker was employ
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Speaker A differs from B because of one reason, which is this story: money

"A" has a good point by thinking that if you have enough money to buy a house on the spot, you shouldn't need to gain Social Security. But heres one thing "A" doesn't think about: what if said person runs out of money. The point of Social Security is to give money to the people that paid their taxes and if your retired. If your retired, you don't have a job, which means the only money you would be getting back is Social Security. Now, this starts to make it sound like im siding with "B" yes I am. However, I think to even this out, lower the amount of Social Security you get so both "A" and "B" get an even share of their opinions.

(hope my mindset was in the right place for this question)
