Answer:

the abolition of slavery

Explanation:

The Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States ('Amendment XIII') officially abolished and continues to prohibit slavery in the United States of America, and, with limited exceptions (such as those convicted of a crime) prohibited involuntary servitude.

At the time of ratification, slavery remained legal only in Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and New Jersey. In the rest of the United States slaves had been released by state action and the "Emancipation Proclamation" of the federal government.

Abraham Lincoln (who had promulgated the Proclamation) and others were concerned that the Emancipation Proclamation would be seen as a temporary measure only during the American Civil War, and, therefore, in addition to the liberation of slaves in those states where slavery It was still legal, they supported the Amendment as a means of guaranteeing the permanent abolition of slavery.

Explain how the role of the united states changed in global affairs during the progressive era
dexar [7]

The Progressive Era is considered from 1890 to 1920.  The major role of the United States in global affairs during this period of time was its involvement in the war.

The military affairs of that time included the war with Spain, the war to conquer the Philippines and the entry into the First World War.

Until the beginning of the 20th. century, political affairs in the US used to follow Washington and Madison,  guidelines of neutrality and nonintervention.

But in those times, European nations turned into imperialism, establishing colonies in different parts of the planet. Time passed by when Theodore Roosevelt, influenced by <em>The Influence of Sea Power Upon History</em>(written by Admiral Alfred Thayer in 1890), understood the potential of investing money in other countries, securing the interest of the U.S.

In the 1910-1920's, the United States government followed an intervention policy in the Caribbean and Central America, the Philippines and even President Wilson supported the Mexican revolution.

daser333 [38]

Only representatives can introduce bills in the House of Representatives. Ideas can come from representatives or citizens. Once the bill is "introduced" then a clerk (bill clerk) will give it a number and then another clerk (reading clerk) will read the bill(s) to the representatives. Then the bill goes to a standing committee ( a committee in the House or Senate that will consider bills in a certain subject area).
