The correct answer is D) City government was unable to handle recovery efforts after a hurricane.

The city of Galveston adopted the commission system of government because the city government was unable to handle recovery efforts after a hurricane.

The reason to adopt this system was that the city government was unable to handle recovery efforts effectively after a hurricane. We are talking about the Galveston Hurricane of 1900.

We are referring to a form of local government that is possible in the United States. The Commission System of City Government requires that citizens vote for the members of the Commission. They could be 5 to 8 members that are going to form the equivalent of a legislative body with some activities done by the executive branch.

How did black codes affect African-Americans in Louisiana?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

When slavery ended in the United States, freedom still eluded African Americans who were contending with the repressive set of laws known as the black codes. Widely enacted throughout the South following the Civil War—a period called Reconstruction—these laws both limited the rights of Black people and exploited them as a labor source.

In fact, life after bondage didn’t differ much from life during bondage for the African Americans subjected to the black codes. This was by design, as slavery had been a multi-billion dollar enterprise, and the former Confederate states sought a way to continue this system of subjugation.

“They may have lost the war, but they’re not going to lose power civically and socially,” says M. Keith Claybrook Jr., an assistant professor in the Department of Africana Studies at California State University, Long Beach. “So, the black codes were an attempt to restrict and limit freedom.”

Losing the Civil War meant the South had little choice but to recognize the Reconstruction-era policies that abolished slavery. By using the law to deny African Americans the opportunities and privileges that white people enjoyed, however, the one-time Confederacy could keep these newly liberated Americans in virtual bondage.

Which of the following is a description of the direct form of government that was found in colonial Africa?
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

A. Foreigners governed at all levels and no self-rule existed.

Explanation:

Direct form of government rule is a form of colonialism that involves the establishment of a centralized foreign authority within a territory, which is run by colonial officials.

Direct government is when an imperial or central power takes direct control over the legislature, executive and civil administration of an otherwise largely self-governing territory.

Example of direct rule is in Burma. The monarchy firmly opposed colonial rule. As a result, Great Britain abolished the monarchy and administered the country directly through its colonial government in India.
