Voting structure in the Estates General
A US district court ruled earlier this week that North Carolina’s partisan gerrymandered congressional districts were unconstitutional, raising the very real possibility that new maps might need to be drawn mere weeks before the 2018 House elections.
New districts would likely be a boon for Democrats: Though North Carolina is evenly or nearly evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, Republicans currently hold 10 of the state’s 13 House seats. In their quest for a House majority, even one or two newly competitive seats in North Carolina would be a major boost to Democrats’ chances of taking over at least one chamber of Congress.
But first, state officials and the courts need to figure out if drawing new districts is even possible in such a short time and whether the congressional elections might need to be delayed in order to accommodate the court-ordered redistricting. Looming over all of it is the US Supreme Court, which could put a stay on the lower court’s decision and bring the whole mad dash to an end very quickly.
North Carolina Republican leaders accused the federal court’s decision of introducing “unmitigated chaos” to the state’s 2018 elections — and while they are surely peeved at the thought of losing congressional seats, they aren’t wrong in thinking the court has upended the 2018 landscape in North Carolina and nationwide.
hope i helped!!
The European colonization had devastating impact on Native Americans due to environmental changes and the introduction of diseases:
- The introduction of European weapons linked to the popularity of beavers led to overhunting. <u>Overhunting led to the extinction of beavers which affected the ecosystem as a whole. Europeans also brought pigs to the new land that ended up eating the foods deers and other animals depended on leading to scarcity.</u>
- <u>Europeans brought with them diseases (such as smallpox) that the native population were NOT immune to which resulted in a great number of deaths. The high mortality rate of the older population meant the loss of both tradition and knowledge.</u>
Executive Order 9066 stated that all people (regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, etc.) from all military areas as "deemed necessary or desirable." Using this terminology allowed FDR and the federal government to not only move Japanese-American citizens but also German-American and Italian-American citizens. The reason why these three specific groups were targeted was because they were all part of the Axis Powers. So one of the correct answers would be the one that relates to the fact that all citizens could be moved by this act.
With the original terminology in mind, the military then declared the entire state of California as a war zone, allowing them to target a huge Japanese-American population (roughly 100,000+ people). However, there was no limit as to where the military could declare a war zone. Essentially, wherever the military saw fit, they could declare a war zone in order to move American citizens.
