Answer:

limit the number of immigrants from a given country.

Explanation:

The Emergency Quota Act, also known as the Immigration Restriction Act of 1921, was a response to a rise in immigration of Jewish people from Eastern Europe. These people were not considered desirable by the government, which led to their immigration being restricted, along with that of many others. It restricted the number of immigrants admitted from any country annually to 3% of the residents from that same country living in the United States. This meant that people from places like Germany had a higher quota than people from Eastern Europe or other non-European countries. The act set no limits for immigration from Latin America. The quota was again reduced by the Immigration Act of 1924 (to 2%).

The main goal of the emergency quota act of 1921 was <u>to limit the number of immigrants from a given country (Option 1).</u>

The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 was temporary legislation in the United States that established a quota system to limit the number of immigrants from a given country. The law annually provided immigration visas to 3% of the total number of people of each nationality living in the U.S., based on the 1910 national census.

Though it officially restricted immigrants from all countries, it actually discriminated people from southern and eastern Europe or other, non-European countries. And People of Northern Europe, who had similar cultures with Americans, were benefited the most: They had a higher quota and were more likely to be admitted to the U.S.

In what way did president grants approach to reconstruction differ from that of president johnson
matrenka [14]

The right answer is:

Grant's approach allowed for black rights to be respected and it encouraged participation in the reconstruction by granting voting rights to African Americans.

Johnson's approach didn't allow for black's participation in the reconstruction.

Explanation:

After the civil war ended the U.S. had to reintegrate both a previously enslaved population and a formerly rebellious population back into the country, however Abraham Lincoln was assassinated and Andrew Johnson became acting President. Johnson believed that the South never had a chance to secede in the first place.

He also believed African Americans should not have any role in the reconstruction of the country.

He called to establish new, all-white governments and they looked very much like the old Confederate governments they replaced. However blacks now had access to education and many primary and secondary schools as well as Black Universities were now a reality.

On the other hand Grant made sure that thee reconstruction laws and amendments that were passed granted former slaves political freedom and rights especially to vote expanding black participation in the reconstruction o the country.

Use this panel to write one paragraph to explain whether or not you think the Declaration of Independence upholds the political
Likurg_2 [28]
The Decleration of Independence does uphold the political principles because with out it or country would still be suffering for the lack of money and freedom because of Europe's greed. For example, imagine the U.S. becoming a country like South Africa. We would be poor and helpless because we would have no independence and the right to agree to trading and developing a economic system in general. So my overall arguement stands to show that I support the Decleration of Independence and that it upholds all of Americans political values.
