The Second Continental Congress was the second meeting of the colonies' delegates in Philadelphia on May 10, 1775. The delegates, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams, were elected in part by colonial assemblies and in part by the provincial congresses that had sprung up to replace those rebellious legislatures dissolved by royal governors. The Congress commissioned Washington to organize a continental army and assume responsibility for the siege of Boston. It formulated regulations for the conduct 
<span>for trade; issued paper money; and sent emissaries abroad to negotiate with foreign powers for financial, diplomatic, and military assistance. Most of the delegates, including Washington , still hoped for reconciliation with Britain, but by the end of 1775 this possibility had faded. In August the British monarch had issued a proclamation " for suppressing rebellion and sedition " in the colonies and in September had hired 20,000 Hessians. Two days later Congress approved a formal Declaration of Independence. It caused war against Britain.</span>

Show how the reintroduction of wolves impacted the ecosystem of Yellowstone National Park.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Wolves are animals who usually eat dead animals, so they clear the forests of dead corpses. When wolves were brought back to the park, they not only killed elk, but also changed their prey's behavior patterns. The herbivores started to avoid areas like valleys and gorges where they could be easily hunted by predators. Deer and elk populations increased substantially, resulting in overgrazing, particularly of willows and other vegetation important to soil and riverbank structure, leaving the landscape vulnerable to erosion. Without wolves, the entire ecosystem of the park suffered.

1. Who is the man in this cartoon as a baby, teenager, young adult, adult, and elderly man? (1 point) 2. Who does this man repre
Shalnov [3]
1. The man in the cartoon as <span>a baby, teenager, young adult, adult, and elderly man is Uncle Sam. The cartoon refers to the United States of America and its government and how it changed throughout the years. You can deduce who this is by looking at the clothes these people are wearing - red, white, and blue, the same colors as the American national flag.

2. The man represents America, as I said, and its expansionist ideology which started as soon as it got its independence from Britain. America fought for a long time for its freedom from its 'mother' and oppressor, and ever since it got what it wanted, it never stopped growing.

3. I believe the message of the cartoon is that America became corrupted over the years while it was looking to expand its territory. It started off as an innocent child, and ended up being a fat capitalist who only thinks about profit. The artist is showing this decline of values in America.

4. The result is that ironically, while America grew bigger and stronger, it also grew more unemotional and corrupt. You can see the final man's facial expression - he looks fat, content, and evil, having conquered everything that could be conquered and taken it for himself.

5. I would say the artist is definitely opposed to imperialism. Just by taking a look at the progression of these people, from an innocent baby, to a not-so innocent child, to a Napoleonic-looking USA, to the great Lincoln, and finally to a fat, cruel capitalist, you can see that the author believes imperialism and America's expansionist nature led it downwards in regards to values, not money.</span>

How did lawmaking at Jamestown differ from lawmaking at Plymouth?
Mademuasel [1]
The main way in which lawmaking at Jamestown differed from lawmaking at Plymouth was that lawmaking in the former was based primarily on crop cultivated and survival, whereas many of the laws passed in the latter revolved around God, since they were a highly religious colony. <span />

How did the 26th amendment address concerns about age discrimination
lidiya [134]
The 26th amendment addressed concerns about age discrimination by saying that citizens who are eighteen years of age or greater shall not be refused or compressed by the government authorities whether federal or state on the statement of age. It restricts states from segregating among voters based on age, for people who are at least 18 years old.
