Answer:

The country’s legal system should protect the rights of women.

Explanation:

Shirley Anita St. Hill Chisholm was the first woman of African-American origin to be elected to Congress in 1968. She was a promoter of the rights of women and civil liberties. On August 10, 1970, she gave the speech in the House of Representatives entitled "For the Equal Rights Amendment." She doubted the immediate effect of the legal framework to end sex discrimination in society. And stressed that laws should aim to discourage it because it does not cover those who are biased on a sex basis.

Thomas Edison list four reasons that prove that he made a significant contribution to US History. please help not good at histor
timama [110]
One reason is that he is credited with creating the first mass-scale scientific research laboratory. He had numerous scientists work with him and was among the first to develop and spread the idea of large-scale inventions that included huge amounts of people and engineers who worked together to invent and manufacture a new product. This business model is now used everywhere.

Another reason is that he is credited with the invention of the first kinetoscope. He and his inventors managed to create and develop the kinetoscope which was something like a camera which managed to make motion pictures and was among the first in the world to do it. Without this development, there wouldn't be anything like Hollywood or the long history of the movies industry in the US.

Another is the development of the light-bulb. Thanks to the patents he had due to his previous inventions, he managed to create a light-bulb that was miles ahead of anything that other scientists were creating at the time. This light-bulb revolutionized the world and it is why we have light-bulbs everywhere nowadays.

Another can be that he had 1093 patents in the United States alone. This means that he managed to successfully invent, with the help of his team of course, over 1093 original things that were used worldwide and they all started from his research facility in the US. Without these patents, the US would be nowhere near where it is now.<span />

Which of these directly contributed to the stock market crash of 1929? (1 point) Tariff reductions
Doss [256]

Answer:

Buying on margin.

Explanation:

It is factor leading to the stock market crash on Black Tuesday. Buying on margin meant that people did not pay the full price of stocks. They just paid a percentage and borrowed the money to pay for the rest of the price. In the 1920s this was a common practice based on optimism, on the belief of constant growth of the stock prices in that decade. As the stock prices kept going up, it was hoped the debt would be paid in this way. So, stock prices were overvalued and they fell precipitously when the financial bubble burst.
