History

Answer:

The correct answer is c. Los Angeles attempted to deal with the resulting air pollution by imposing restrictions on the freeway system and its growth.

Explanation:

The freeway system of California refers to the vast network of freeways that connect the state, built mostly between the 1950s - 1960s. In the early 20th century, California had a well developed rail mass transit system, along with several urban streetcar systems. However, the expansion of the freeways and the increasing popularity of cars led to their demise and their eventual replacement with diesel-fueled buses. This system was funded by a mix of both state and federal funds, with most of the latter coming from the Highway Trust Fund, which gets its money from a federal tax on gasoline. However, this freeway system was not without controversy: roads often had to be built across urban communities populated mostly by minorities. This led to many communities being torn apart or becoming isolated from others while freeways criss-crossed their previous homes.

<u>The one thing that it's not true is that the city of </u><u>Los Angeles</u><u> attempted to restrict freeways due to being concerned with </u><u>pollution</u><u> - quite the opposite</u>. As cars got more and more widespread and as the metropolitan are of Los Angeles increased, more and more freeways were built to try and cope with it. Now Los Angeles freeway system serves a population of over 20 million people - with all the pollution problems that this represents. While cars are less pollutant now that in the past, high levels of smog and ozone are still a health concern in Los Angeles area.

Reika [66]
In 1609, two years after English settlers established the colony of Jamestown in Virginia, the Dutch East India Company hired English sailor Henry Hudson to find a northeast passage to India. After unsuccessfully searching for a route above Norway, Hudson turned his ship west and sailed across the Atlantic. Hudson hoped to discover a "northwest passage," that would allow a ship to cross the entirety of the North American continent and gain access to the Pacific Ocean, and from there, India. After arriving off the coast of Cape Cod, Hudson eventually sailed into the mouth of a large river, today called the Hudson River. Making his way as far as present-day Albany before the river became too shallow for his ship to continue north, Hudson returned to Europe and claimed the entire Hudson River Valley for his Dutch employers.

Answer:

Ther Great Compromise was an agreement reached between the representatives of states with small populations and their counterparts from states with large populations at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. It defined the structure of Congress. It was agreed that there would be a bicameral Congress, with one lower chamber (the House of Representatives) with proportional representation, and an upper chamber (the Senate) with two senators by each state. The agreement was brokered by Connecticut representative Roger Sherman, that´s why it is also called the Sherman Compromise.
