Answer:

It was Amsterdam, in the Netherlands.  It became a sanctuary for Huguenots, the French Calvinists, who suffered persecution in France, and also for Jews who had flown from Spain and Portugal where their options were to convert or to be burned. There they could settle and worship. Jews invested in the local stock market and opened synagogues in Amsterdam.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:  A. The Constitution establishes the qualifications for congressional representatives, as well as specific rules for their election.

We have a two-house or "bicameral" legislature.  The number of representatives in the House of Representatives are based on each state's population size.  In the Senate, each states gets two Senators.

The bicameral legislature plan was devised at the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size.  The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation.  The "Great Compromise" (as it became known) created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature.  Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population.  In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.  

The quoted section in the Constitution (as shown here) lays out the qualifications for House of Representatives members and rules for their election.

Our heritage is reflected in the things we say and do. true or false
nikklg [1K]
Our heritage I believe is truly reflected in the things we say and do. For example, in Canada we have a strong pioneering spirit so that means that Canadians generally are not afraid to face the wilderness. For example, our geologists regularly go to work in say the Far North and brave the cold and the isolation to carry out their explorations.
