Answer:

c) No state wanted the nation's capital within its borders, so unclaimed land was needed.

Explanation:

The District of Columbia was founded, and made the capital of the US July 16, 1790.

In 1783 Congress decided to create a new capital apart from any state, and in 1787 the framers of the Constitution provided for a capital district.

The U.S. capital was originally Philadelphia. Washington D.C. became the new capital on July 16, 1790.

Several different cities served as the national capital until the late 1700's. Congress then wished the nation's capital to be permanent.

Disagreements rose as to which state it would be a part of.  In 1790, Alexander Hamilton proposed a solution that established the new permanent capital on federal land rather than in a state. President George Washington was asked to pick the site. Both Maryland and Virginia gave up land along the Potomac River that became the District of Columbia, established in 1791.

What factors contributed to the rise of political machines and their bosses? What were the positive as well as the negative aspe
OLEGan [10]
There were many factors that led to the rise of political machines in American cities in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. One of the major factors that led to the rise of political machines was the rise of immigrant populations who sought to gain and increase their influence in the political realm and served as a powerful political tool for political machines. Political machines worked to enfranchise these voters through a system of patronage, and bribes and would bring them out on election days to support politicians who paid political bosses or awarded government privileges to. Positive aspects of this system were that it gave some increased level of representation of immigrant populations and worked to enfranchise these new political groups. However, these machines led to a high level of corruption and hurt the meritocracy of government institutions at the time.

How does the edict's position on religion compare with a political ideal or contemporary event
liq [111]

Answer:11.Analyzing Primary Sources What reasons are given for the issuing of this edict? The reasons for issuing the Edict of Milan was that so people are treated equally, and that since people are allowed to believe in their own religion, they believed that Christians should be allowed to believe in their own religion.12.Drawing Conclusions Why do you think property was restored to the Christians and to their churches?Property was restored to the Christians and their churches because they previously own that land, but was persecuted and forced out of that area, taking away any property that belong to them.13.Identifying Perspectives, The Edict of Milan only guarantees tolerance of Christianity, not recognition by the state. Why did Constantine and Licinius take this position?The reason why Constantine and Licinius took the position to tolerate Christians is because it was unfair for people who believe in Christianity to be treated differently from their religion when they allow people to practicetheir own.14.ComparingHow does the edict’s position on religion compare with a political ideal or contemporary event?The edict’s position on religion compares with a political ideal because many politicians speak about freedom of religion and worship and allows people to pursue their own.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Chief Seattle considered strange that the American government would want to buy the land on which the tribe is living because he questioned the President of the United States how he wanted to put a price on elements that had no material or monetary value such as the freshness of the air, or the beauty of the sky. How he questioned US President Franklin Pierce, there was a price for the sparkle of the water.

Chief Seattle's view of this land was that mother Earth was something sacred for the Native American Indians. Nature was holy for his tribe. All the elements of nature were sacred and celebrated by the Native Indians. That is why they performed dances to the elements and chants, to thank mother nature for everything it provided.
