Correct answer:  B) on the basis of the age of sitting judges.

Context/explanation:

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was eager to implement his New Deal programs as an antidote to the Great Depression.  However, the US Supreme Court had already ruled that some provisions of the New Deal were unconstitutional, because they took too much power into the hands of the federal government, especially the executive branch of the federal government.  So, riding the momentum of his landslide reelection victory in 1936, in February of 1937, FDR proposed a plan to expand the Supreme Court to as many as 15 judges.  The plan offered to provide full pay to justices over age 70 who would retire.  If the older justices didn't retire, assistant justices (with full voting rights) would be appointed to sit with those existing justices.  This was a way FDR hoped to give the court a liberal majority that would side with his programs.

As it turned out, before FDR's proposal came up for a vote in Congress, two of the sitting justices came over to his side of the argument, and the Supreme Court narrowly approved as constitutional both the Social Security Act and the National Labor Relations Act.  So his plan (which failed in the US Senate) became unnecessary to his purposes.  

Roosevelt's "court-packing" scheme was unpopular. It was seen as an attempt to take away the independence of the judicial branch of government.

Explain the causes and effects of european immigration in the late 1800s.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

In the nineteenth century, the United States experienced a significant surge in the influx of immigrants - over the course of several decades, about fifteen million people arrived in the country; such a large number of people wishing to start a new life across the ocean was largely due to the political and economic instability that prevailed in Europe at that time.

In the mid-nineteenth century, again a significant influx of immigrants seeking overseas ‘salvation’ from economic and political instability in their homeland came from France and Germany; aggressive German politics before the outbreak of war forced many to seek refuge in the USA.

At the end of the 19th century, Italy, previously modestly represented in the New World, was left by several hundred thousand people.

In 1891, the Immigration Service was established in the United States, and in January 1892, an immigration office was opened on Ellis Island, New York - its tasks were to verify the identity and health of citizens arriving in the country, and determine their future fate - what way they were going to live in the country, whether they have friends or relatives, etc. Resistance to immigration at the end of the 19th century intensified at the level of part of the American public, who did not want foreign workers who received lower wages to take the place of American citizens.

How did Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of glasnost contribute to the collapse of
Alik [6]

Answer:

The right answer is C.

Explanation:

Glasnost was one of the major political initiatives launched by Soviet Secretary-general Mikhail Gorbachev. For the first time in Soviet history, there was open discussion of many key political and key issues. Gorbachev´s intention was to reform the Communist system, to democratize it and make it less authoritarian. It was sort of a spring in public affairs. Nevertheless, a freer new atmosphere led to protests in many Soviet republics, nationalist sentiments were reborn, political instability ensued. In the last years of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev resembled more and more a wizard that had liberated forces he could not control anymore. His position became too weak after a conservative coup d´etat staged in Moscow. It failed but severely undermined his position and strengthened the standing of the president of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin. The Soviet Union broke apart in December 1991.
