I can't really give you two paragraphs but one (and probably the biggest) thing was democracy. Democracy is the 'everyone gets a fair vote' and the Romans had originally started that system. After the Roman empire fell apart, the system was completely forgotten until the USA became its own country.
Another thing that we took from the Romans is archetecture. (<-- spelled wrong). Before buildings were built with steel, American's had to rely on the Roman columns, domes, and arches. Arches are great for distributing weight so that the building wouldn't collapse in on itself and so are domes. They spread the weight evenly so that you don't have to use massive pillars to hold the building up. But when steel began to be produced, the Roman architechture became more of a decorative thing because steel is a lot stronger and can support more weight.
World War I made the national government much more powerful than it had ever been. ... The government also commandeered control of much of the economy to get the country ready to fight, creating new agencies to regulate industry, transportation, labor relations and agriculture.
Answer:
This question is incomplete. It is missing names and descriptions of the court cases descriptions that are needed to be matched. Here they are (correctly matched):
<em>Tape v. Hurley: </em><em>The California Supreme Court forced San Francisco to admit Chinese students into public schools.
</em>
- This case ended in <u>March 1885</u>, with the Supreme Court decision that refusal to admit a Chinese American student Mamie Tape to the all-white Spring Valley School was unlawful. This was a landmark court case.
<em>United States v. Wong Kim Ark: </em><em>The Supreme Court ruled the Fourteenth Amendment awarded citizenship to children of Chinese immigrants born on American soil.
</em>
- This case was decided on <u>March 28, 1898</u>, with the Supreme Court ruling that Wong Kim Ark, who was born in San Francisco in 1873 to Chinese couple, was unlawfully denied entry to the United States after his trip abroad.
<em>Yick Wo v. Hopkins:</em><em> The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the city of San Francisco to grant licenses to Chinese laundries.
</em>
- This case was decided on <u>May 10, 1886</u>, with the Supreme Court ruling that the administration of law in a discriminating manner is an infringement of the Equal Protection Clause in the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In particular, here out of 200 applications, only one permit to operate a wooden building laundry was granted to a Chinese owner, while all non-Chinese owners always received permits.
