How did the world react to state government legislation during the gilded age

1 answer:

5 0

During the Gilded Age, 1876-1900, Congress was known for being rowdy and inefficient. It was not unusual to find that a quorum could not be achieved because too many members were drunk or otherwise preoccupied with extra-governmental affairs. The halls of Congress were filled with tobacco smoke, and spittoons were everywhere. One disgusted observer noted that not only did the members chew and spit incessantly, but their aim was bad. The atmosphere on the floor was described as an “infernal din.” The Senate, whose seats were often auctioned off to the highest bidder, was known as a “rich man's club,” where political favors were traded like horses, and the needs of the people in the working classes lay beyond the vision of those exalted legislators. The Senate dominated the federal government during the Gilded Age. Causing the world to react as if America wasn't under good control.

In other words, the world reacted as America wasn't mature.

According to albert barnes, what mistake did american church leaders make in relation to slavery?

Ede4ka [16]

According to Albert Barnes, their mistake was that they didn't speak against slavery. Although many of them believed that slavery was against god and against the idea that god made everyone equal, they didn't do much against it out of many reasons, either they thought it was a necessary evil or they were afraid of the public reaction.

The 25th amendment is the presidential succession in case something happens to the president. This is invoked if the president dies while in office, the vice presidency becomes vacant, if the president cannot fulfill their duties (ex. undergo a medical procedure that temporarily restraints them), or if congress finds the president to be an unfit leader and votes to remove them from office.
