History
1 answer:
andrew11 [14]3 years ago

1. The Transcontinental Railroad System provided jobs across the nation.  The invention of the steam engine caused transportation to improve. As a result, businesses made profit, and transporting products were easier and faster.

2. John McAdams was a Scottish engineer who modernized the way we built roads. He is important to transportation because of the changes he made to roads. He changed the roads by making sure the roadbeds were raised to make sure there was adequate drainage. The roadbeds were then laid with broken stones in symmetrical patterns, and covered with small stones to make a hard surface. McAdam discovered that the best stone or gravel for road surfacing had to be broken or crushed, and then graded to a constant size of chippings. This revolutionized roads, and helped a lot in regards to transportation, making it easier and faster.

3. The Erie Canal was a canal located in New York City and was completed in 1825. We benefited from railroads and canals while shipping goods because it made shipping cheaper and faster. Before railroads and canals took in place, shipping took longer because they had to deliver them, most likely on horses, and it often made the goods damaged.

Margaret [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) All states should have same number of congressional representatives.

Explanation:

New Jersey wanted equal representatives for all States, regardless of the geographic size of the State or it's population.

New Jersey believed this was fair, gave each State an each representative and at the same time, provided a degree of Independence from the Federal Government.

However, this proposal was eventually rejected and eventually a new deal was reached which is now known as the Connecticut Compromise.  A ratified form of this deal is currently included as part of the Constitution.

how did the kennedy administration know that the soviet union was putting ballistic missiles in cuba?
Komok [63]
1) ariel spying over Cuba produced pictures that showed missile silos being built in Cuba. The design of the silos made it clear they were designed for missiles, and it made no sense for Cuba to put in anything less than nuclear missiles there. Missiles they could not build themselves, so had to come from the Soviet Union.
2) Only minutes. A launch from the Soviet Union to the US only takes about 20 minutes. Depending on the range of the missiles put into the silos, warning time would have been anywhere from 3-10 minutes. Not enough time to verify that it was a launch, and not a detection system malfunction, forcing America to launch immediately, or risk losing its capacity to strike back.
3) A direct attack or invasion of Cuba would have forced the Soviet Union to respond in kind. The USSR simply could not abandon Cuba, without losing all credibility among its allies and vassal states. So they would likely have struck back at the US, probably in Europe. This would have dangerously escalated the tensions, and increased the probability of nuclear war. Other officials believed that a quick,determined strike would not only eliminate the immediate threat of missiles in Cuba, but possibly overthrow the regime and force the USSR to accept the situation. The idea of a naval blockade was a compromise position. A threat of force, but one that allowed the USSR to back off. After all, so long as the missiles were not put into the silos, they were no threat.
