Answer:

Option B, Many nativist groups opposed continued immigration, is the right answer.

Explanation:

In the decade of 1920's, the restrictions on immigration increased. The government of the United States enacted the Immigration Act in the year 1924 to put restrictions on immigration. This act was the most severe of all the acts made to control immigration because it limited the overall number of immigrants and introduced quotas based on the nationality of immigrants.

The introduction of this act resulted in a sharp reduction in the number of immigrants coming from Eastern Europe and Africa and it completely restricted the immigration of Asians except for Japan and the Philippines. The government of the United States passed these immigration laws because many native groups opposed the continued migration in America.

The causes of the French Revolution are complex and are still debated among historians. Following the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution, the French government was deeply in debt. It attempted to restore its financial status through unpopular taxation schemes, which were heavily regressive. Leading up to the Revolution, years of bad harvests worsened by deregulation of the grain industry also inflamed popular resentment of the privileges enjoyed by the aristocracy and the Catholic clergy of the established church.

Answer:

B. Amend the bill

Explanation:

The answer is not "A," because governors are able to veto state bills, and are also able to line-item veto on certain bills (though not all are able).

The answer is "B," because as stated in in answer "D," the legislature makes the adjustments/amends the bill, not the governor.

The answer is not "C," because governors are able to take no action on the bill. If they decide not to do anything, the bill is able to become law without the needed signature of the governor.

The answer is not "D," because governors are able to take the bill and send it back for adjustments that may be needed to be passed for legislature.
