The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Hart-Celler Act, was a bill that was proposed by Representative Emmanuel Celler of New York and it was co-sponsored by senator Phillip Hart from Michigan. Many political leaders, like Ted Kennedy, supported this bill, as well as northern American leaders and Republicans, while Southern leaders opposed it on racial grounds. In essence this bill came in response to the 1921 Emergency Quota Act, which had put a ban, through the National Origins Formula, to the immigration of all Europeans except from northern Europe, based on the number or residents and citizens from European origin. With this, the United States established quotas of immigrants from these regions of Europe, with only some exceptions. However, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 raised this ban and lifted the discrimination against Europeans who were not from the north of the continent. What the bill of 1965 retained from old policies was the limits on immigration based on country of origin, but it established a new preferential visas for immigrants with special skills and also those who had family ties with citizens and residents in the U.S

<em><u>The biggest accomplishment of Passage of Immigration act of 1965 was that it supported the Victims of Political Persecution.  </u></em>

<u>Further Explanation:- </u>

Immigration and Nationality Act, well known as the Hart-Cellar act was passed during the 89th United States Congress and became a law by the signing of PresidentLyndon B. Johnson. This law abolishes the quota system which was based on national origin and this law implemented an advanced immigration policy.

Why did Islam spread quickly following Mohammed‘s death
Rzqust [24]

Answer:  I found this article online so you probably have to tweak a few things to not get plagiarized by your teacher but here you go. I just put the useful info here but you could definitely cut some things out also. Websites url is : https://www.studentsofhistory.com/the-growth-pread-of-islam

The period following Muhammad’s death is known as the Rashidun Caliphate that lasted from 610-750. During this empire a Muslim administration and government was established and ruled the Middle East. The Caliphate was governed by The Righteous Caliphs, or spiritual leaders. By 644, these four leaders helped Islam spread and grow far and beyond the Middle East through conquests of major cities like Baghdad, Jerusalem, and Alexandria. North and Western parts of Africa were also conquered effectively taking control over much of the  Byzantine and Persian territory. The third Caliph Uthman created a version of the Quran that became standardized and widely used throughout the Islamic world in newly established schools that taught the Arabic language and Islamic studies. This was also a period in which hundreds of mosques were built throughout the empire.  

After the death of the last caliph in 661, the Umayyad Caliphate took control of the empire and ruled until 750. Historians regard this caliphate as the most powerful and expansive of the caliphs. The Umayyad Caliphate grew the Islamic Empire to its peak and expanded its control from the Middle East to parts of Asia, India, Northern Africa and parts of Europe.
