History

Answer:

The Missouri Compromise was passed in 1820 between the northern and southern states. It consisted of granting the state of Missouri slave status in exchange for the consent of the southern states that the western border of slavery would run along the parallel of 36° 30''. Whereas the border between free and slave states in the East of the continent was drawn along the Mason-Dixon Line and the Ohio River. In addition, a new state - Maine - was separated from Massachusetts to maintain a balance of power in the Senate between slave states and non-slavery states.

The Compromise arose from the need to maintain the balance that then existed between the 11 non-slave states (New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, founders; and Vermont, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, incorporated), and the other 11 slave states (Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, founders; and Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama, incorporated), discussing in 1819 the new admission law of the state of Missouri, a slave-territory, that would unbalance the composition of the Senate (each state had and has two representatives, regardless of its population), in favor of the slave states. In the House of Representatives there was no such balance because they were elected proportionally to the population, more numerous in the northern states.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

A) Allowed elements of capitalism within a communist economic system

Explanation:

One way in which Vladimir Lenin's New Economic Policy and Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of perestroika are similar is that both "Allowed elements of capitalism within a communist economic system."

The above statement is proven true because Vladimir Lenin's New Economic Policy of 1922, which allowed free market and capitalism such that private individuals can own small enterprises while the government owns big industries. Hence it enabled the national ownership of industries to reduce.

Similarly, Mikhail Gorbachev's policy of perestroika of 1985 allowed state enterprises to decide their level of output primarily based on the demand and supply principles.

How would colonist boycotts of British goods be harmful to Britain’s economy
Mila [183]

Answer:

If the British expected the Townshend Acts to be accepted by the Americans, they were sorely disappointed. The Townshend Acts further exacerbated the relations between the Americans and the British. American newspapers immediately began to criticize The Acts. The most influential opponent of the Acts was a Pennsylvanian farmer by the name of John Dickinson. Dickinson wrote a series of letters that were published by the Pennsylvania Chronicle and Universal Advertiser. These letters became known as "The 12 letters from a farmer in Pennsylvania". The first letter appeared on December 2nd 1767. These letters were reproduced in 19 of the 23 colonial newspapers.

The overriding theme of Dickinson's letters was that the English had the right to regulate trade. However, Dickinson maintained the English had no right to impose taxes on the colonies, since the colonies were not represented in the parliament. Dickinson suggested in his letters that the colonist petition directly to the King. Dickinson advised that until their grievances were met the colonists should boycott all English goods.

The Massachusetts Assembly was called into session on December 30, 1767. It met for 16 days, during which time, it debated a resolution attacking the Townshend Acts. At the end of the meeting the Assembly approved a letter written primarily by Samuel Adams that was to be circulated to the other colonies. The letter called on all the colonies to resist the Townshend Acts The letter stated that the parliament had no right to tax the colonies for the sole purpose of raising revenues, since the Americans were not represented in the parliament.

The British government responded with outrage to actions of the assembly. The British demanded that the assembly either rescind the letter or the assembly would be disbanded. The British government knew this was a dangerous path to take, but went ahead anyway. The governor requested the presence of British troops in the colony of Massachusetts, which only further inflamed that colony. When the Massachusetts Assembly met again, it was even more-anti British. The only business the Assembly wished to conduct were protests against the Townshend Acts.

Massachusetts was not the only colony to object to the Townshend Acts. The part of the Acts entitled, "The New York Restraining Act:, attracted the most resentment from the New York Assembly, who over the objections of the governor passed a resolution stating that the parliament had no right to suspend a state assembly. The New York legislator further affirmed that the Assembly had the right to correspond with representatives of any other colony, if it wished.

South Carolina joined the ranks of legislatures protesting the Acts, and was soon the most vociferous of its opponents. Ultimately, it was not the political protest that had the most effect on the British, but it was the boycotts by the colonists. All of the colonies organized boycott committees. With the encouragement of the Sons of Liberty colonial merchants began boycotting British goods. This effectively cut the American purchases from England by half, seriously effecting British merchants. Between the economic and political boycotts the colonists had become united, as never before, in opposition to the British actions.

Why did urbanization happen in the USA in the late 1800
harina [27]
Urbanization happened because many occupations, factories, and businesses were located in the same area. People went to urban areas to find work, and therefore, created the need to have more space in urban areas. That is how cities of (urban areas) were formed. The late 1800's introduced the Industrial Revolution and created many jobs for people because of it. This eventually led to urbanization.
