Back then most people in the US were small farmers. They went west for free/ cheap farm land, because it was expensive or already taken in the East. They also went West for new opportunity in new lands that needed businesses/ trade, and if desperate enough, to prospect for gold.
<span>People settled where the farm land was good, and near railroad lines (because they needed supplies/ trade). </span>
<span>Once the good farm land in Kansas/ Nebraska was taken, they looked south and further west, where the farm land wasn't so good, but there was lots of room for herding cattle (as in Texas). California on the far side of the deserts and mountains was a big draw because it had some good farm land, some grazing room, harbors and trade by sea, and gold. The Dakotas/ Wyoming Montana were settled for farming and herding but late because of the cold climate. Next was Washington/ Oregon, which had jobs/ trade/ business in virgin timber, sea ports, and a little farm/ grazing land. </span>
<span>The last places of course were the deserts and high mountains as there's nothing there or harsh climate not good for farming/ herding/ railroads/timber.</span>
The correct answer is C.
Laboratories of reform, also denominated laboratories of democracy, was an expression promoted in the US by Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis.
It refers, within the federal structure, to a level of state autonomy that enables state and local goverments to act as "laboratories". They can pass l<u>aws that will be tested at the local or state level. It can be regarded as a manner of applying the scientific method to democracy. </u>The most prominent example would be the legalisation of marihuana in the state of Colorado, despite the fact that this substance is forbbiden at the federal level.
The legal basis for these laboratories of democracy is contained in the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution, in the following provision: "all powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Answer:
Using his inherent powers, President Lincoln imposed censorship, ordered a naval blockade, and issued orders while Congress was not in session.
Explanation:
In April 1861, Lincoln put habeas corpus into suspension, extracted funds from the Treasury, appealed to the militia of the state, and blocked the rebellious states in the lack of legislative authority. He was supposedly invoking inherent authority when responding to the greatest crisis the United States has gone through. But the decision of appealing to his inherent authority was made during an emergency in order to act without the existence of law and in some occasions against it, for the nation's well-being.
He became the first casualty of the american revolution when he was shot and killed in what became known as the boston massacre <span />
