History

Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago
8 0

The characterization of mercantilism as a "set of practices" demonstrates the absence of a preconceived plan for the economic policy of European countries that, between the 16th and 18th centuries, disputed slices of American territory to keep them in the condition of colonies. During this period, in Europe, the wealth available in the world was thought of as something that could not be expanded, and therefore the absolutist states strove to secure for themselves as much of this supposedly limited wealth as possible. Gold and silver, circulating in the form of coins or locked in the coffers of kings were understood as their translation, hence the true search fever of the so-called metals

How was the issue of slavery addressed in the U.S. Constitution?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Answering the question "How was the issue of slavery addressed in the U.S Constitution" is a little tricky because the words "slave" or "slavery" were not used in the original Constitution, and the word "slavery" is very hard to find even in the current Constitution. However, the issues of the rights of enslaved people, its related trade and practice, in general, have been addressed in several places of the Constitution; namely, Article I, Articles IV and V and the 13th Amendment, which was added to the Constitution nearly 80 years after the signing of the original document. However, slavery had been tacitly protected in the original Constitution through clauses such as the Three-Fifths Compromise, in which three-fifths of the slave population was counted for representation in the United States House of Representatives.

Explanation:

When the Constitution was made in 1787, slavery was a powerful institution and such a heated topic at the Constitutional Convention. The majority of disagreements came when the representatives from slave-holding states felt their "peculiar" institution was being threatened. James Madison, the Father of the Constitution and a slave owner, opposed the pro-slavery delegates and went on to say it would be, "wrong to admit in the Constitution the idea that there could be property in men." He didn't believe that slavery should be justified by federal law. Once the Constitution was ratified, slavery was never mentioned by name. Shouldn't this be obvious support that the Constitution did not support slavery? Not exactly.

Of the top ten cities for immigrants in 1850, which city had the most and which had the least number of people?
12345 [234]

Answer:

Option C, New York and Albany, is the right answer.

Explanation:

New York has remained one of the most significant cities in the history of the United States. The main reason of its significance is the fact that during the larger part of the 1850's and in the early phase of the 1900's, thousands of settlers came in the U.S. and lived in New York City. Settlers or immigrants did not come from a particular country or land but came from various countries such as Ireland, Germany, Italy, Eastern Europe, and China. They began living in the Lower East Side of Manhattan due to the very fact that the rent in the tenements was very low.

On the other side, Albany was the city which had the least number of people during the 1850's.
