The city of Galveston adopt the commission system of government because city government was unable to handle recovery efforts after a hurricane.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The commission system of government consists of a legislative body which takes the responsibility of imposing and collecting taxes. Apart from this there are commissioners assigned for roles like public works and safety.

This was done to ensure a mix of legislative and executive mix of governance. This originated in Galveston, Texas after the hurricane in 1900. Before implementing this system, it was first tested and later implemented. This was followed by other cities taking up this system.

What was the predominant religion in Pennsylvania?Quakerism
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Quakerism

Explanation:

The Quakers are a religious group emerged in England in 1647 as a dissent from the Anglican Church. One of the pillars of the faith of the Quakers is the belief there is no need to create a clerical organization, then all faithful are ministers of God. The Quakers lived in recollection and preached the practice of pacifism, solidarity and philanthropy. In order to guarantee their moral purity, they also defended, let alone moderate, attitudes: they refused to pay tithes to the official church, to take oath before the magistrates in the courts or to pay tribute to authorities, including the king. They were still refusing to do military service and take part in wars.

They presented original ideas in 17th-century English absolutist society, and for this reason, they were eventually persecuted by Charles II. For this reason, a large part of the Quakers emigrated to the United States, where, led by William Penn, they created the colony of Pennsylvania in 1681.
