Answer: b. An aggressive media serves as a check on the government's power.

This is the most likely answer out of the given options. The First Amendment protects the freedom of the press by ensuring that freedom of speech is respected in the country. More importantly, it states that the press must serve the citizens, and not the government. This is important because an active and aggressive media that is protected by the law can act as a check on the government's power.

"<span>b. An aggressive media serves as a check on the government's power" would be the best option, since the First Amendment guarantees free speech in order to make sure that people can speak against their government. </span>

Where is Harlem? What distinction did it earn in the 1920
Radda [10]

Harlem is a large neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is also known under the name of <em>Black Mecca</em>. It is a major African American residential, cultural and businesses centre.

It was originally settled by the Dutch in 1658 and remained undeveloped territory for almost 200 years. It is named after the city of Haarlem in the Netherlands.

As New York's population grew, Harlem developed. Big urban progress was noted around 1880 when elevated railway lines were extended in that direction and many apartments buildings erected. Due to some unrealistic expectation many housing estates remained vacant and a major part of New York's black population were relocated there.

During 1920's, Harlem flourished with artistic and cultural expression and this period earned Harlem the distinction of  <em>' Harlem Renaissance</em>'. Many artists wanted to show the black culture and its achievements  to the world. They were proud of their African heritage. This outpouring of artistic work was unprecedented in the American -black community.

valentinak56 [21]

Industrialization quickly changed the landscape of the United States and other countries in the 19th century. Construction materials, like steel and iron were needed for buildings, factories, and railroads. Oil was discovered to be a great source of fuel. The Spindletop Geyser in Beaumont, Texas was discovered in 1901, and over 1000 oil companies were chartered. 8 years later, the U.S.'s oil production was more than the rest of the world's oil production combined.

Answer:

Smith

Explanation:

Although Jones won more votes from the people when added all together, Smith won more electoral votes. In state A Smith was voted the most so he won 10 electoral votes and in State B Jones was voted more and won 9 electoral votes. Since 10 votes is larger than 9 Smith won. Basically Smith won the most votes in a state that had more people so more electoral votes in total, and because of that he got more electoral votes which resulted in his victory.
