Answer:

The correct answer is Jefferson persuaded Congress to lower taxes.

Explanation:

When Thomas Jefferson took office in 1800, he had to deal with a huge national debt (83 million) However, unlike modern presidents, he did not grow it further. What he did was limit federal spending, especially the money aimed at mantaining a standing military force (<u>in a period of peacetime).</u> He believed this was a huge waste of money. Also, he persuaded Congress to lower internal taxes and to even eliminate some of them, such as the whiskey tax. So instead of increasing revenue (money collected from the citizens) to pay off the debt, Jefferson and his people decided to make more intelligent decisions.

How did nationalist feelings endanger the Austro Hungarian empire? Who has this quick check???
tester [92]
<span>The Austro-Hungarian empire was endangered by feelings of nationalism because there were multiple national groups within the empire. So fulfilling nationalist goals would mean a dividing of the empire. The mere fact that the question refers to the empire as "Austro-Hungarian" is already a strong hint of the issue. Prior to 1867, it had been known as simply the Austrian Empire, but a compromise in 1867 meant that a dual monarchy was recognized (an Austrian ruler and a Hungarian ruler). The Hungarians were given self-governing authority over their own internal affairs in their portion of the empire. Other people groups within the empire would seek their own recognition as well -- Czechs, Serbs, Croats, etc. So where nationalism was a uniting factor in regions like the Italian peninsula and the German territories north of Austria, for the Austrian empire, nationalism was a dividing force.</span>

<em>B. 7.</em>

Explanation:

The Seventh Amendment was added in 1791 and is part of the Bill of Rights. This amendment is known for protecting the right to having a trial by jury.

This also makes it illegal to discriminate in the workplace. You can not turn down somebody because of their religious beliefs, or give raises based on that kind of criteria. Employers have to accept their employee's religious beliefs without discrimination or putting other religious beliefs onto them.
