History

Alexxandr [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The idea of freedom (political, economic and social) reflected the <u>desire of independence in the colonies.</u>

Explanation:

The new forms of thought, art, behavior, detached from medieval religiosity resulted in the birth of the ideological current known as the Enlightenment. According to them, human beings born free and must continue this way. <u><em>French Revolution, inspired by this idea, created the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" and spread across the world. This feeling of freedom arrived in the American colonies, promoting the necessity of revolution against the European empires (British, Spanish, and Portuguese).</em></u> In the final years of the 18th century and the early decades of the 19th century, many revolutions would happen in the colonies, fighting for freedom.

What were two main compromises of the constitutional convention and how did it effect the government?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

  • The Great Compromise (also known as the Connecticut Compromise)
  • The Three-Fifths Compromise

The two compromises affected the way a state's representation in Congress would be determined.

Explanation:

Both of these compromises were devised during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787.  

The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states.  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 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 Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery.  For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures.  (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.)   The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.

The first Levittown was built ________.
N76 [4]

The correct answer is B. In  Nassau County, New York

Explanation:

The word "Levittown" refers to different massive suburbs that were created after the World War in the U.S. and Puerto Rico and that were called "Levittown" because these suburban developments were created by the company Levitt & Sons. The objective of these suburban areas was to prove an alternative to cities especially to those that return from the war and their families. The first Levittown was built in New York in Nassau County, Long Island between 1947 and 1947 and this was followed by a Levittown in Pennsylvania (1952), New Jersey (1958) and later Puerto Rico (1963). Therefore, it can be concluded the first Levittown was built in Nassau County, New York.
