The correct answer is: It eliminated the national origins quotas.
Indeed, until then, American immigration laws restricted immigration from Africa and Asia and favored immigration from northern and western Europe over immigration from Eastern and Southern Europe.
Many domestic and international activists were vehemently opposed to such policies that were considered as discrimination on the basis of national origin. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the act at the site of the Statue of Liberty in 1965.
Answer: A. To help commercial banks
Explanation:
The Federal reserve bank is the central bank of the United States and the main role of central banks in an economy is to regulate commercial banks. This regulation also means that the central bank has to step in to help these commercial banks if they are going through times of distress.
The reason for this is that commercial banks are very important in the economy as they are key to the financial system. The failure to help commercial banks by the Fed during the Great Depression was one reason the depression lasted as long as it did so now the Fed helps when it can, with conditions of course.
George Fox was a leader in a 17th-century Christian awakening from which came the Quaker movement (now known as the Society of Friends or the Friends Church). During civil strife between royalist and parliamentary forces, the movement spread rapidly across England and in American colonies, in spite of harassment under Commonwealth and Restoration governments that brought property loss, imprisonment, and sometimes death. By the end of the century, there were 100,000 Quakers, an American colony (Pennsylvania), and a strong public witness to Christian holiness, peace, religious freedom, participatory worship, business integrity and social justice.
Many early adherents were drawn from Seeker communities of Northern England. These Christians, disillusioned with monopolistic state religion, whether Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian, or Independent, had been meeting informally for Bible study and prayer. George Fox forcefully articulated their criticism of the institutional church for its secondhand faith, sin-excusing doctrine, hireling ministry, and compromise with political powers. People responded eagerly to his proclamation of a new Day of the Lord in which the true church is being recovered and kingdom righteousness effected through Christ's presence and power.
