The passage is:

"The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom...."

The Constitution spells out_______ -those powers that belong to the federal government alone. What goes in the blank??
svlad2 [7]
<h2>"Expressed powers" or "enumerated powers."</h2>

Enumerated powers are those powers specifically granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution.

Enumerated powers include such things as the power to coin/print money, the power to establish and impose tariffs, and the power to regulated trade with foreign nations and trade/commerce between states.

Strict constructionists and loose constructionists differ over whether the government's powers should be limited to those specifically enumerated powers.  Strict constructionists read the Constitution as giving the federal government only those specifically delegated powers.  Loose constructionists argue that anything not specifically forbidden by the constitution can be within the window of what the government needs to do in adapting to the needs of time and circumstances.

Which change occured as a result of urbanization. A.The invention of the assembly. B.The crowding of people in tenements and slu
ozzi

Answer:  B. The crowding of people in tenements and slums.

Further detail:

The Industrial Revolution had its beginning in Great Britain, and eventually spread from there.  Once the United States became involved, especially in the "Second Industrial Revolution" years (1870-1914), the size and resources of the country allowed the US to become a bigger industrial power than the nations of Europe.

Industrialization also led to the phenomenon of <u>urbanization</u> -- the movement of people away from the rural countryside and into cities.   That led to other issues, like sanitation and crime problems in cities.  So sanitation and health measures were enacted, and the first police forces were formed.

The overcrowding conditions also meant poor living conditions in tenements and slums.  The condition of these sorts of neighborhoods was documented by Jacob Riis, a police reporter in New York.  In 1888, Riis took pictures of what life was like in New York City's slums.  Using his own photos as well as photos gathered from other photographers, Riis began to give lectures titled, "The Other Half: How It Lives and Dies in New York," in which he would show the pictures on a projection screen and describe for viewers what the situations were like.  He gave his lectures in New York City churches.  In 1989, a magazine article by Riis (based on his lectures) was published in <em>Scribner's Magazine</em>.  The book version was then published in 1890 as <em>How the Other Half Lives: Studies among the Tenements of New York</em>.  Riis blamed the poor living conditions on greed and neglect from society's wealthier classes, and called on society to remedy the situation as a moral obligation.
