Answer: Many of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had serious reservations about democracy, which they believed promoted anarchy. To allay these fears, the Constitution blunted democratic tendencies that appeared to undermine the republic. Thus, to avoid giving the people too much direct power, the delegates made certain that senators were chosen by the state legislatures, not elected directly by the people (direct elections of senators came with the Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1913). As an additional safeguard, the delegates created the Electoral College, the mechanism for choosing the president. Under this plan, each state has a certain number of electors, which is its number of senators (two) plus its number of representatives in the House of Representatives. Critics, then as now, argue that this process prevents the direct election of the president.

so basically u can just pick and choose what info u want to use:
During the Progressive Era between 1896–1916, social activism and political reform became widely renowned and certain laws were set in place to keep large businesses in check, such as the Pendleton Act. This act made it unlawful to fire or demote an employee based on political stance. This makes me think about a more recent act that was passed called The Americans with Disabilities Act. which not only provides equal treatment to disabled persons in day-to-day life but is also, similar to the Pendleton Act. as it protects persons with diabilities from being fired or demoted without reasonable cause.
wait nvm thats not really on topic....
During my lifetime the government has more or less decreased the regulations set in place to keep large businesses in check. When looking at certain acts like the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act, which was updated in 2017, makes it so that all workers in the US are paid minimum wage up to the national minimum wage, along with other benefits. However, debates on whether minimum wage is truly a livable wage have been brought up. This then allows many large businesses to exploit and go around this law, allowing them to grow bigger and bigger. um... i dont know if this is any good nvm
Answer:
Explanation:
This dissertation studies the first Great Migration of African Americans from the rural South to Urban areas in the northern United States. While most existing research has focused on the experiences of the migrants themselves, I am focused on how this influx of rural black migrants impacted outcomes for African Americans who were already living in the north and had already attained a modicum of economic success. Common themes throughout this dissertation involve the use of the complete-count U.S. population census to link records across years. In the first chapter, I linked northern-born blacks from 1910 to 1930 to study how the arrival of new black residents affected the employment outcomes of existing northern-born black residents. I find that southern black migrants served as both competitors and consumers to northern-born blacks in the labor market. In the second chapter, my co-authors and I study the role of segregated housing markets in eroding black wealth during the Great Migration. Building a new sample of matched census addresses from 1930 to 1940, we find that racial transition on a block was associated with both soaring rental prices and declines in the sales value of homes. In other words, black families paid more to rent housing and faced falling values of homes they were able to purchase. Finally, the third chapter compares the rates of intergenerational occupational mobility by both race and region. I find that racial mobility difference in the North was more substantial than it was in the South. However, regional mobility difference for blacks is greater than any gap in intergenerational mobility by race in prewar American. Therefore, the first Great Migration helped blacks successfully translate their geographic mobility into economic mobility.
