Answer:

First Tuesday after the first Monday in November on even numbered years

Explanation:

The United States House of Representatives is the lower house and together with the Senate form the legislature of the United States. Elections are held every even-numbered year. The election is held on the first Thursday after the first Monday in November and by law each member must be elected from a single-member district.

Before 1840s each state had separate elections but they however all fell in November. The electors for the Electoral College had to meet in the individual states on the first Wednesday of December and according to federal law, an election had to be held 34 days before the meeting. November was chosen because of the agrarian society. The harvest ended in November and people were allowed to travel to polling stations. This changed when railroads and transporting mail was used in the 1840s.

Puritans also A more famous group of these early Puritans had also settled in New England pilgrim's.

In the early 17th century, thousands of English Puritans settled in North America, mainly in New England. Puritans were generally members of the Church of England who believed the Church of England was insufficiently reformed, retaining too much of its Roman Catholic doctrinal roots, and who therefore opposed royal ecclesiastical policy under Elizabeth I of England, James I of England, and Charles I of England. Most Puritans were "non-separating Puritans", meaning they did not advocate setting up separate congregations distinct from the Church of England; a small minority of Puritans were "separating Puritans" who advocated setting up congregations outside the Church. One Separatist group, the Pilgrims, established the Plymouth Colony in 1620. Non-separating Puritans played leading roles in establishing the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629, the Connecticut Colony in 1636, and the New Haven Colony in 1638. The Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations was established by settlers expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony because of their unorthodox religious opinions. Puritans were also active in New Hampshire before it became a crown colony in 1691.

Most Puritans who migrated to North America came in the decade 1630-1640 in what is known as the Great Migration. See the main articles on each of the colonies for information on their political and social history; this article focuses on the religious history of the Puritans in North America.

Which of these beliefs were supported by

Enslaved people should be freed and  returned to Africa.

All enslaved people should be freed  immediately.

The Second Great Awakening began around 1800, again among Presbyterians, in the Cane Ridge, Kentucky. In addition to being more vast and complex, this awakening differed from the first in other important aspects. If the previous revival was essentially limited to Presbyterians and congregations, it reached all denominations, especially Baptists and Methodists, who grew rapidly and became the largest Protestant groups in North America. Another difference was geographic and social: while the first awakening occurred in urban areas close to the coast, the second erupted in the so-called "border," the rural region of the midwest with its mobile population and its unstable social organization.

A third difference between the two revivals concerns their theology. While the 18th century movement had a solidly Calvinistic base, with its emphasis on human inability and God's sovereign initiative, the Second Awakening revealed a distinctly Arminian orientation, giving great emphasis to the human being's choice and decision potential. This characteristic, which combined with the young nation's ideals of freedom and individual initiative, found its most eloquent expression in the revivalist Charles G. Finney (1792-1875). Finney believed that the revival could be produced through the use of techniques, called "new measures", which included insistent and emotionally charged appeals, personal advice from the determined and prolonged series of evangelistic meetings. These elements are still present today in a considerable part of world evangelicalism.
