1 answer:
Oxana [17]3 years ago
7 0

Best answer:

<h2>The United States concentrated its efforts on the development of rockets.</h2>

History / explanation:

The Sputnik satellite was sent into orbit by the USSR on October 4, 1957.  The Soviets announced its mission as a scientific one, to study the solar system. In the Cold War atmosphere, of course, Americans were wary of what other motives the USSR might have had.  The Soviets launched Sputnik 2 in November, 1957, with a dog on board.  The USA scrambled to get its own satellite program operational, launching the first US satellite, Explorer, on January 1, 1958.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was founded in July, 1958, to continue the United States' advance in space technology.

Do you believe that congressional members should be elected by popular vote? Why or why not?
eduard

Answer:

Not sure what you need to include in your answer but i will give my opinion.

Explanation:  

In my opinion congressional members should be elected based on the popular vote, if a member is more popular and prefered  than another member then they should be the one elected.

For example in the presidental election there is a system called electorial college, bigger states have bigger numbers to win. In the election they must have 170 points to win. This is an unfair advantage because if a canadidate has only had a small percentage more votes than the other popular canadidate then that's unfair and the canadidate who is not popular gets ahead even by a small margin of votes.

I'm assuming this is opinion based but hope it helps.

In what ways was the 1920s an “Age of Contradictions” in the United States?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

According to the generally accepted opinion, in the “roaring twenties” Americans departed from traditions, yielding to the temptation of new ideals and unlimited tolerance. However, it should be noted that not all society was captured by unorthodox trends. There were also those who were disgusted with the excesses of "modernism" and fear of its dangers. The second decade of the 20th century was marked by both the movement for change and the stubborn resistance to these changes.
