Thomas Jefferson’ comments on Eerie canal highlighted that he felt that it was impossible to complete such a huge project.

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson who was a visionary and fore runners of the US Constitution had once commented that the construction of Eerie canal was a plan which is ‘little short of madness’. This reflected that he was totally not confident about the completion of the project and felt it to be impossible.  

He felt it’s impossible because he had observed George Washington who is the fellow- Virginian also failed to complete the project of building a canal in the Potomac River. It was a canal that was successfully built for more than three hundred miles and all the credit was given to the New York governor Dewitt Clinton.

He initially faced criticisms and many felt it is the ditch which he made for himself for his own political downfall but times changed and the construction was carried on successfully.

Write a description of at least one real-life problem that has to be solved or decision that has to be made using good judgment,
Sergeu [11.5K]

An example that I would give of a situation in which a real-life problem has to be solved or a decision has to be made using good judgement would be the case of deciding what to study in university:

<em>"When I had to decide what I was going to study, I immediately put journalism out of my mind, as I believed it did not suit my personality. Even though I loved writing, I had always imagined that journalists had to be aggressive, </em><em>overconfident</em><em> and pushy, and that news only happened in other, more interesting places. I could not see how that could fit me. The school counselor I talked to kept telling me that this was not the case, but my </em><em>belief perseverance</em><em> would not let me listen to other information. In the end I decided to go for accounting. I believed that accounting was only about boring numbers, and for the first few months, I was responsible of </em><em>confirmation bias</em><em>, as that was the only thing I noticed about my studies. However, over time, I grew to like the path I had chosen, and I do not regret it."</em>

Which best describes the fate of the Freedmen's Bureau?
aksik [14]

Answer:

The agency’s power was weakened by conflict and political fighting.

Explanation:

The Freedmen's Bureau was formally referred to as the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands.

The main purpose of the Freedmen's Bureau was to provide assistance (practical aid) to millions of poor whites and formally black slaves living in the South, after the American Revolutionary War. It was established as a federal government agency by the US Congress on the 3rd of March, 1865.

However, the Freedmen's Bureau was prevented from fully achieving its aim and objectives due to insufficient funds, lack of personnels, racial segregation and political conflicts.

Hence, the statement which best describes the fate of the Freedmen's Bureau is that the agency’s power was weakened by conflict and political fighting.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Committee Consideration (Transcript) Each committee receives many bill referrals over the course of a Congress – far more than the panel is capable of pursuing in any detail. The committee’s chair has the chief agenda-setting authority for the committee; in essence, the chair identifies the bills or issues on which the committee will try to formally act through hearings and/or a markup.
