Answer:

Explanation:

"The Bosses of the Senate" was a political/satirical cartoon that was drawn by<em> Joseph Keppler. </em>

<em>The purpose of the cartoon was to show how the wealthy monopolists or rich businessmen controlled the Senate in order to gain more power and money.</em> During the<u> "Gilded Age,"</u> political issues arose, such as the <u>interest given to businessmen regarding tariff and business policies.</u> Through the Senate, they were supported through their tariffs and were given business policies that were friendly.

The cartoon portrays many symbols. The entrances to the Senate in the picture were two: the "People's Entrance" and the "Monopolists' Entrance." The <u>monopolists' entrance was widely-opened and proximal, </u>while the p<u>eople's entrance was closed and distal.</u> This clearly shows how the monopolists can immediately gain an easy access to the Senate, while the people cannot do anything. The fat people at the back represents the monopolists (who are considered the bosses of the Senate), while the smaller people in front represents the Senate. <u>Their fat body is a representation of greediness and their being at the immediate back of the Senate, represents their control over the Senate.</u> This means that the monopolists during the Gilded Age had an easier influence when it comes to the policies regarding their businesses.

The differences between single-member district and proportional representation<br> systems.
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Systems of single member and proportional representation are very different. Single member representation, as in the United States, works by carving every state in the country into individual districts based upon population density. In the United States, the number of one-half of a million people is the rough number of citizens in each district. As states lose population for any reason, such as a major decline in job opportunities to other states, they lose voting districts. The number of districts and, consequently, the number of elected officials in the House of Representatives (under the U.S. Constitution, each state has two senators) representing each state is determined on the basis of the national census taken every ten years. Populations shifts, therefore, determine which regions gain and which regions lose representation.

amid [387]

Answer:

Slavery divided Americans from the beginning, but Americans demonstrated a shrewd ability to maintain unity in spite of division. In the 1770s, all of England’s North American colonies employed slave labor. Enslaved workers grew food, cultivated cash crops, worked in ports, and manufactured goods.. By November 1860, an opponent of slavery’s expansion arose from within the Republican Party. During the secession crisis that followed in 1860-1861, fears, nearly a century in the making, at last devolved into bloody war. (
