Why was the amendment proposed? Why did some individuals believe there was a need for such an amendment at that time? Why did the amendment fail? Could this amendment pass today? Given the changing times, do you think this amendment would have a chance at passing today if it were proposed again?

Im not good with dis stuff but hoped dis helped 

"Article the First" may sound a bit Yoda-esque, but it was actually the first provision in the original proposal for the Bill of Rights. The amendment, which the first Congress approved in September 1789, basically provided a way to regulate the expansion of the House of Representatives as the country grew. Among other provisions, the amendment stated that after the House grew beyond 200 members, there would be no more than one representative for every 50,000 citizens.

Eleven states ratified the amendment between 1789 and 1792, but it never got the three-quarters majority of state support needed for ratification. Although the amendment is still technically eligible for ratification, it seems unnecessary now. Given the current U.S. population, if we went with the maximum ratio of one representative for every 50,000 people, the House would balloon to over 5,000 congressmen, which would make finding airtime for campaign commercials nearly impossible.

What were Catherine II of Russia's economic policies?
schepotkina [342]



As for general policy, Catherine understood that Russia needed an extended period of peace during which to concentrate on domestic affairs and that peace required a cautious foreign policy. The able Count Nikita Panin, whom she placed in charge of foreign affairs, was well chosen to carry out such a policy.

Catherine did not advocate democratic
reforms but addressed some of the modernization trends. In 1775, she decreed a Statute for the Administration of the Provinces of the Russian Empire. The statute sought to efficiently govern Russia by increasing population and dividing the country into provinces and districts.

Which right does the constitution recognize with the third amendment​
arsen [322]

The Third Amendment (Amendment III) to the United States Constitution places confinements on the quartering of officers in private homes without the proprietor's assent, prohibiting the training in peacetime. The amendment is a reaction to Quartering Acts gone by the British parliament amid the development to the American Revolutionary War, which had enabled the British Army to hold up officers in private living arrangements.  

i hope this helps :)))))))))))
