Answer: The crash of the stock market in 1929.

Context/details:

There was much speculative buying on the stock market in "the Roaring '20s," as the decade was known. In the 1920s, people were so eager to invest and earn profits through the stock market that they bought stocks "on margin." In other words, they paid for only a marginal percentage of the stocks with their own funds, and borrowed bank funds for the rest of the purchase. That meant the banks were complicit in this arrangement too, by allowing those sorts of loans. By the late 1920s, 90% of the purchase price of stocks was being made with borrowed money. This inflated the market in a way that spiraled out of control, and in 1929 the market crashed. This was the event that initiated the Great Depression that took hold during the 1930s.

Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd Jr. (October 25, 1888 – March 11, 1957) was an American naval officer and explorer. He was a recipient of the Medal of Honor, the highest honor for valor given by the United States, and was a pioneering American aviator, polar explorer, and organizer of polar logistics. Aircraft flights in which he served as a navigator and expedition leader crossed the Atlantic Ocean, a segment of the Arctic Ocean, and a segment of the Antarctic Plateau. Byrd claimed that his expeditions had been the first to reach both the North Pole and the South Pole by air. However, his claim to have reached the North Pole is disputed.[

Why do members of the House have smaller districts?

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

for representatives to be more involved and aware of issues that are important to voters in their particular district

Explanation:

Issues in United States generally can be divided into three scales : National level, state level, and local level.

Members of the house of representatives were established to represent the interest of the people in local levels. The decisions that they make will directly affected the live of people in one particular district . (such as decisions on which local infrastructures should be built, how local public schools will use the funding, etc).

For this reason, members of the House need to be aware of the issues that happen locally in order to represent them properly. This is why members of the house have smaller districts compared to the Senate.
