The fertility rate now is

History
1 answer:
bija089 [108]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

just slightly below the replacement population rate.

Explanation:

According to recent numbers, women in the United States aren't having enough babies. The replacement population rate, that is, the number of children a woman needs to have in order to keep the population the same, is 2.1. However, the latest data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention shows that the fertility rate in the US now stands at 1.72 children per woman, just slightly below the replacement population rate. The US rate had been a little under 2.1 since 1971, but in the last decade, it has fallen even more dramatically. The reasons for this are a cause for debate, but generally speaking, it is usually argued that it is a side effect of more and more women joining the workforce, thus having less time and desire to raise a family, and a lower number of teen pregnancies. Nevertheless, population in the United States keeps growing despite the low fertility rate thanks to immigration from other countries.

Which outcome was the eventual result of the burglary committed at the Democratic National Headquarters in 1972
Ghella [55]

The eventual outcome was that Richard Nixon resigned as President.

Context/explanation:

The first break-in by burglars was in May, 1972, as persons connected to the Nixon reelection campaign broke into the Democratic National Committee office in the Watergate complex of buildings in Washington, DC.  They were planting wire-taps on the Democrats' phone lines, and also stole copies of documents.  When the wire-taps didn't work properly, they broke in again (in June) to try to fix the surveillance devices, but they were caught.

The burglars were part of an organization known as the "plumbers," who originally were a "special investigations" unit that the Nixon White House had set up in 1971 to stop the leaking of classified information.  Members of this group were those then later involved in the Watergate break-in (among other activities).

"Deep Throat" was the name given to an inside source at the FBI that gave information concerning Watergate to reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the Washington Post.  Years later it was revealed that Deep Throat was Mark Felt, who at the time was Associate Director of the FBI.

Nixon's role in Watergate was especially in his efforts and those of members of his staff to cover up what had happened.

Ultimately, the Watergate affair brought down the Nixon presidency.  He resigned in order to avoid impeachment.  And the whole affair made Americans more distrusting of government.

Why did the power of the emperors weaken during the A.D. 800s?
kramer

Many emperors were children weaken the power of the emperors during the A.D. 800s

<u>Explanation:</u>

During the A.D. 800s, the emperor’s power abated. After a time of powerful emperors, several weak emperors occurred to the throne. Many of these emperors were still only children, and court administrators known as regents had to administer for them. A regent is a personality who rules for an emperor who is too childlike or too sick to rule. When the emperors grew up, however, the regents declined to give up their power.  

Most regents came from a group called the Fujiwara. Under the Fujiwara, Japan’s emperors were acknowledged, but they no extended had real power. Rather of the ruling, these emperors spent time studying Buddhism or writing poetry in their palace at Heian.
