The Roaring Twenties was a great golden age in America, but ironically, led to its greatest downfall.
Lots of new things became popular among all Americans in the 20's; automobiles, radio, silent movies, etc. People were spending money left and right on these things, and were becoming very materialized. So why am I talking about Americans buying boatloads of stuff they didn't need? Well, this was one of the prime causes of the Great Depression. Americans started buying on margin, or buying with credit; buy now, pay later. People bought so much like this, that they had to borrow lots of money from the banks. As this went on, it built up slowly, and led into buying stocks on margin. This eventually led to the Stock Market Crash of 1929. As people ran to the banks to withdraw all their money, the banks failed, and people lost all their savings in the blink of an eye. Manufacturers soon started producing less and laying off workers as jobs became a demand, and ended up causing the intense unemployment rates throughout the country. And finally, farmers suffered as a massive drought hit the Mississippi Valley in 1930, which created the infamous Dust Bowl.
The correct answers to these open questions are the following.
When the first Europeans arrived, there were 17 different Indian peoples, tribes, and languages in North America?
Answer: false.
It is false that when the first Europeans arrived, there were 17 different Indian peoples, tribes, and languages in North America. When they arrived, historians say that many more Indian tribes and languages already existed in the North American region.
How did the first Americans get to North America?
Answer: They walked over a land bridge from Asia.
Indeed, nomads from Asia were following herds to hunt the animals and feed their families. They used the Bering Strait to cross from Asia)modern-day Russian territory) to Alaska(American territory). Some historians say that in those years, a portion of land was above the sea level and people crossed over it. Other theories say that the strait was frozen and people could cross it to get to what today is Alaska.

Explanation:
Some cells also feature orderly arrangements of molecules called organelles. Similar to the rooms in a house, these structures are partitioned off from the rest of a cell's interior by their own intracellular membrane. Organelles contain highly technical equipment required for specific jobs within the cell. One example is the mitochondrion — commonly known as the cell's "power plant" — which is the organelle that holds and maintains the machinery involved in energy-producing chemical reactions (Figure 3).
A pie slice diagram shows the proportion of water to typical chemical components in a bacterial cell. Each chemical component is color-coded and is labeled by name and percent.

Most of a cell is water (70%). The remaining 30% contains varying proportions of structural and functional molecules.

Figure Detail
A diagram of scale shows how different biological features fall along a size gradient. Atoms are represented on the far left side of the scale, while much larger blood vessels are pictured on the far right; molecules, organelles, and cells are arranged in the middle in order of increasing size, between these two extremes.
Figure 3: The relative scale of biological molecules and structures
Cells can vary between 1 micrometer (μm) and hundreds of micrometers in diameter. Within a cell, a DNA double helix is approximately 10 nanometers (nm) wide, whereas the cellular organelle called a nucleus that encloses this DNA can be approximately 1000 times bigger (about 10 μm). See how cells compare along a relative scale axis with other molecules, tissues, and biological structures (blue arrow at bottom). Note that a micrometer (μm) is also known as a micron.
The speech:
Dear and appreciated, from the chamber of representatives, members of the house. With honor and praise we have tried to resolve, little by little, the conflicts generated here in the district. As a representative of this state, I present myself here at City Hall to announce a new bill, which further strengthens the second amendment: we will strengthen the militia action here in the state of Michagan, where we have seen delinquency, robberies, the violence growing and becoming an unprecedented public safety problem, a calamity for the entire state. In addition, it maintains the right to carry a firearm, as long as the case is for the defense of property, property and self-defense. Every citizen who needs, in situations of robbery, to defend himself using a weapon, will not answer in justice for this, when it is proved that the use of the weapon was in self-defense. In order not to reach that extreme, it has also been proposed in the House of Representatives, a bill that reinforces militia action on all streets and corners of Detroit. These militias will be at the disposal of the population and the citizens, fighting crime and delinquency. We can find no other way to control this situation. We approve this law, for the sake of all in the community, before we witness more deaths and innocent blood shed.
Opinion: In some states, with high indexes of criminality, it is completey necessary to grant the citizen the right to have a gun, for their own personal defense. In case of calamity, to reforece the militias.
