How many Representatives are there for the state of Pennsylvania in the US House of Representatives?

History
1 answer:
Natalija [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Currently for the state of Pennsylvania there are 18 representatives in the House of Representatives. There are nine democrats and nine republicans.

Explanation:

The House of Representatives is the lower house of the Congress of the United States of America. The Senate is the upper house. The officials sitting in the house of representatives are divided among the 50 states in function of their population. Pennsylvania is one of the states that has been losing congressional seats in the house vis-a-vis other states because the total number of representatives is fixed by law at 435. In 1973, Pennsylvania had 27 seats and now it has 18. The largest delegation is that for California that had 53 representatives in 2010.  There are seven states that have only one representative in the House of Representatives and they are: Alaska, Wyoming, Delaware, Montana, Vermont, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

Which of the following statements best describes a change that impacted African Americans in the 1950s?
vlada-n [284]

Correct answer:  Court cases challenged the legality of discrimination.

I'll mention key court cases after debunking the other answers in the list.  Truman's desegregation of the armed forces happened already in 1948, and impacted only those in the armed forces, rather than all African Americans.  The suburbs were NOT welcoming toward African Americans, and they remained in living mostly in urban centers.

As to key court cases of the 1950s regarding discrimination:

1950: Sweatt v. Painter and McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents.  In these cases, the Supreme Court said segregation of African American students in law and graduate schools was unconstitutional.  This was the start of challenging "separate-but-equal" policies.

1954: Brown v. Board of Education.  Firm decision that "separate but equal" policies were unconstitutional across the education system.  Chief Justice Earl Warren, speaking for the unanimous opinion of the Court, said: “Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”  

1955: Brown v. Board II.  The Supreme Court directed that school systems must abolish segregation “with all deliberate speed.”

1956: The Supreme Court affirmed a lower court ruling that the segregation of the Montgomery, Alabama, bus system was illegal.  This was in reference to the bus boycott that had begun with the protest by Rosa Parks.

1958: Cooper v. Aaron.  The Supreme Court upheld the US Court of Appeals (8th Circuit) decision that resistance by local officials and threats of violence in the community did not  justify delaying desegregation.  This followed in the wake of the Little Rock Nine (a group of black students) seeking enrollment in LIttle Rock Central High School.
