Answer:

A) Habeas Corpus

Explanation:

Habeas Corpus is a legal action or writ that demands that a person under arrest be brought to judgement in a court of law, to secure his release, unless there are legal reasons which justify their detention.

In many instances, the law enforcement authorities may arrest citizens and detain them for a long time without charging them. The Habeas Corpus prohibits this kind of incidence and abuse of power.

The court hears the case brought forward by the prosecution and decides whether there is a lawful basis for detaining a person. Based on the evidence the court finds, the Judge may grant the inmate release from prison or a reduction in sentence.

In the late 19th century, American farmers supported which of the following?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: The Granger Movement against the railroads

Explanation:

In the late 19th century, the Railroad companies and their Corporate backers had began to act like cartels due to the very important service they provided and the lack of alternatives.

Because industries like Agriculture and others relied on them to transport goods across the country, they started charging higher prices which made farming less profitable.

The farmers then organised themselves into Granges from the 1860s onwards and these granges were able to influence legislature that brought the railroad companies under control by electing people into power that would lobby for such.

I would say that life in the cities became more liveable in the late 1800's and early 1900's because for one thing the public mass transportation improved such as with the development of street cars and buses so people could move around more easily. Also, I believe street lighting improved then as well so that streets were well illuminated. Also, housing probably started to include multiple dwellings so many people could live in the same complex but having their own privacy and own facilities.
