Answer: They were given many acres of government-owned land for every mile created.

Congress passed the Pacific Railroad Act in 1862. This led to the creation of the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific. Because Congress was interested in building the railroad quickly, they provided two incentives to the companies.

First, they gave each line twenty alternate sections of land for each mile of track completed. Second, they gave them loans: $16,000 for each mile of track of flat prairie land, $32,000 per mile for hilly terrain, and $48,000 per mile in the mountains.

These two incentives meant that the railroads would compete in order to be able to build the most miles and get the most land and money.

Who constructed a theory that focused on population size?
KengaRu [80]

According to Malthusian theory of population, population increases in a geometrical ratio, whereas food supply increases in an arithmetic ratio. This disharmony would lead to widespread poverty and starvation, which would only be checked by natural occurrences such as disease, high infant mortality, famine, war or moral restraint. His main contribution is in the agricultural sector. According to this theory there are two steps to control the population: preventative and positive checks. Preventative means control in birth rate, and uses of different methods to control birth; and positive checks means natural calamities, war, etc. His theory was wrong because Malthus only considered two factors when he established his basic graph: food supply and population growth. Other factors such as improvements in technology proved him wrong. He was right at his time but development made him wrong. If it wasn't for outside influences on population growth and food supply, his mathematical reasoning which proved his theory and was right. I HOPED THIS HELPED

klasskru [66]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you forgot to attach options to answer this question we can comment on the following.

The right of the United States national government to establish post offices, regulate commerce with foreign nations, and declare war, all on behalf of the constituent states are referred to as enumerated powers.

These enumerated powers can be found in the Constitution of the United States, created during the Constitutional Convention held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the summer of 1787.

During this convention, delegates met to discuss and create a new form of government for the United States. Federalists like Jhon Jay and Alexander Hamilton debated with Antifederalists like Thomas Jefferson and Samuel Adams. The Constitution was finally signed by the states of the Union when Federalist James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights that is the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution.

zepelin [54]

Answer:

face validity

Explanation:

Face validity is a term that refers to tests that presents an obviousness about a theme, covering that theme in a very prominent way, making the test objectives totally transparent to the participant, allowing a proof of the relevance of that theme in social behavior or mentality of the participant. In other words, we can say that this term refers to the availability of a test. We have an example of this, in the question above, where the test obviously refers to depression, which is easily perceived by the participant.
