In the early 1400s, Europeans knew little about the world beyond their continent. Many sailors would have heard stories of treacherous seas and sea monsters that destroyed any ship trying to cross the ocean. The sailors would hear these stories and become superstitious. They wouldn’t want to take a journey that they believed would most likely claim their lives.

On the other hand, maritime travel had the potential to earn sailors great wealth and prosperity. European nations wanted to find sea routes that would allow them to continue to trade with Asian merchants. If they were one of the first nations to do so, they would be able to increase their wealth and get the materials they needed to help their nations prosper.

Why did some leaders believe that unicameral legislatures created a more democratic government?
melamori03 [73]

Answer:  D) All the members of the single house are elected by the people.

Context/detail:

The Articles of Confederation, which preceded the creating of the Constitution of the United States, employed a unicameral (single house) legislature.  In the end, the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787 decided to go with a bicameral (two-house) legislature as a compromise between small states vs. large states in regard to representation.  "The Great Compromise," as it became known, 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.  In the original US Constitution, each state's senators were selected by that state's legislature, not directly elected by the people.  The 17th Amendment changed that, so that now US Senators are also directly elected by the people.  But we retain the two-house legislature as a way of balancing power between states with high populations and those with lower populations.

<em>Which statement BEST describes black soldiers' participation in the Civil War?  </em>

<em>The correct answer is B) Black soldiers were active in some capacity soon after the start of the war.</em>

  • <em>On July 17, 1862, a year after the American Civil War had started, the congress freed slaves who had masters in the Confederate Army and two days later in all territories of the United States, giving the opportunity to black American to enlist. Despite this, recruitment was not at as fast as expected so Frederick Douglass, a black leader, inspired black men to enlist. For this effort, in May 1863, the government created a Bureau of Black Troops to manage the enlisting of black troops.</em>
