Dilemmas such as land shortages, religious persecution, crop failure, and unability of landing (a) job (s), increasing rate of taxes, and famine, caused many immigrants to settle in the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity. Especially in the urban areas, where immigrants could experience a new era of industrial change. (Second Industrial Revolution)
This movement of immigrating to urban areas in the late 1800s and early 1900s is now known as the urbanization.
Answer:
Present Roosevelt teamed up with a group of advisors who were called the "Brains Trust," among them Raymond Moley, Rexford Guy Tugwell, and Adolph A. Berle, Jr. They were a group of academic advisors who helped FDR to develop many of the social programs that were part of the New Deal.
Explanation:
Moley, Tugwell, and Berle were academics who helped FDR (President from 1933-1945) to develop New Deal programs that regulated the banks and the sale of stocks. They also implemented large public works projects like the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River.
Moley was a professor of government and law and he argued that a flat tax was necessary on a specific amount of salary in order to rebuild the economy after the stock market crash that caused the Great Depression in 1929 (Leuchtenburg, 1995). Tugwell was recruited by Moley and he designed the administration's agricultural policy that tried to fix the imbalance between wages and prices. However, Berle was more hesitant about the planned economy idea and was more about a larger federal role in balancing the economy.
Antoine Aime Dorion, the political leader in the United Provinces of Canada, opposed confederation because he believes that the idea of having one central government will result to the provinces losing their powers. He believed that the French may lose their rights and language if Confederation occurred.
The options that correctly describe cultural practices of the Byzantine and Arab empires is <em>The Byzantine Empire created mosaics of religious figures, whereas the Arabs prohibited religious art; </em>and <em>The Byzantine government was based on Greco-Roman Law, whereas the Arab government was based on Sharia law.</em>
A unique practice in the Orthodox Church is the decoration of churches with mosaics portraying religious figures taken from The Bible. However, a fundamentalist religious movement called <em>Iconoclasm </em>emerged within the Byzantine Empire in the ninth century with the goal of banning the worshiping of religious figures (icons; from Greek εἰκονο, <em>eikono, </em>image).<em> </em>Even though this doctrine was short-lived, it proved both costly and bloody for the empire. On the other hand, the worshiping of images by the Arabs was prohibited as Muhammed spread the word of Islam in the mid seventh century. In fact, Islam prohibited the depiction of any living thing, just like the First Commandment in the Jewish Ten Commandments.
As of law, the Byzantine empire preserved the Greco-Roman law tradition as the surviving portion of the Roman Empire whose Western part fell in 476 A.D. However, up to that moment laws had not been coded in writing, which prompted Byzantine Emperor Justinian to create a legal code bearing his name in the sixth century. In contrast, the Arabic Empire was ruled through <em>Sharia (divine law </em>in Arabic), or the law stemming from the sacred book of Islam, <em>Quran</em>.
