Answer:

Penn asked to see King Charles II of England, who, as a result of an accumulated debt of back wages to his late father, owed a large sum of money to Penn's family. He proposed that the crown allow a massive migration of Quakers to the colonies. He knew of the hostility that the Quakers suffered in the nation and managed to reach an agreement with the king. In 1677, the group of Quakers got permission to emigrate and in 1681, the king granted him a vast territory to the west and south of New Jersey. This was the form of payment with which the king paid off the debt to the family and Penn was given a royal charter that named him "absolute owner" of the ceded land and indicated that he would have almost unlimited power in the new colony.

how did the great compromise help alleviate tensions between the northern and southern states at the constitutional convention
Evgen [1.6K]

The great compromise was done in a situation in 1787 for constitutional convention to end the conflict. States or groups with larger population wanted population based representation while the smaller states wanted equality in everything. This led to a major conflict between these two states.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the conflict was increased the founding fathers wanted to prevent the nation from civil war and chaos so they came up with the idea of the great compromise. The solution or the compromise was proposed by "Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth". The great compromise created two bodies in the bicameral Congress.

Virginia was the larger state while "New Jersey" was the smaller one. Both the states proposed their own proposals. The idea of the compromise was to merge and combine both the proposals so that both groups can have equal amount of benefits and disadvantages. The plan was approved by a slim margin on "July 23, 1787".

The economy of the Gilead age was characterized by
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The Gilded Age was characterized by really fast industrial and economic growth, from the 1870s to the 1900s. It was named after Mark Twain's and Charles Dudley Warner's novel <em>The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today</em>, which satirically describes a difficult period of living, covered and hidden with gold gilding.

The rapid expansion of industrialization was accompanied by a huge advance in transportation (railways), technologies and manufacturing (heavy industry, factories, coal mining), causing huge expansion of immigration from Europe to America, high real wage growth and individual wealth.  During these years, the U.S. economy had the fastest rate of growth, with high GDP, capital formation, real wage, etc.
