Why did the progressive movement support the direct election of senators?

History
1 answer:
erastovalidia [21]3 years ago

Answer:

<h3><em>The Constitution, as it was adopted in 1788, made the Senate an assembly where the states would have equal representation. Each state legislature would elect 2 senators to a 6-year term. Late in the 19th century some state legislatures deadlocked over the election of a senator when different parties controlled different houses, and Senate vacancies could last months or years. In other cases, special interests or political machines gained control over the state legislature. Progressive reformers dismissed individuals elected by such legislatures as puppets and the Senate as a "millionaire’s club" serving powerful private interests.</em></h3>

<span><span><span>POLITICSTrump Gave a Racist and Anti-Immigrant Speech to Cops at the FBI and They Loved It</span>Rafi SchwartzToday 11:46am25</span>APDonald Trump appeared at the FBI’s headquarters in Quantico, VA, on Friday, to deliver the keynote address to graduates of the bureau’s elite National Academy training program for local law enforcement officers from around the country. There, he gave a racist, anti-immigrant speech to the apparent joy of the audience.Regarding the green card lottery system—a frequent target of this administration, despite the president’s seeming inability to understand what it actually entails—Trump said: “You think the [other] countries [are] giving us their best people? No.”“They give us the worst people,” Trump continued. “They put them in a bin, but in his hand when he’s pickin’ ‘em is really the worst of the worst.”The crowd laughed.Trump also used the opportunity to raise the specter of one of his favorite immigration boogymen: the MS-13 gang.“To any member of MS-13 listening,” Trump said, doing his best Liam Neeson, “We will find you. We will arrest you. We will jail you. We will throw you the hell out of the country.”He went on to add that in prison “we have to take care of them.”“Who the hell wants to take care of them?” Trump asked the crowd. “You know, the jail stuff is wonderful, but we have to pay for it, right?”Again, the audience—made up largely of local police, and NOT immigration officials—laughed and applauded.
And what would a Trump speech to police be without some standard-level racism about Chicago?“What the hell is going on in Chicago?” Trump asked the laughing crowd at one point during his remarks, before pivoting to Baltimore, another city that’s been wracked by racist policing.The crowd went wild.Recommended StoriesTrump Endorsed Police Brutality to a Room Full of Cops, and They Loved ItFox News Is Super Excited That Trump Is Letting Cops Use Military Weapons on ProtestersFeds Reportedly Warned Cops That Charlottesville Would Be Violent and They Still Did NothingAbout the authorRafi SchwartzRafi SchwartzNews reporter, Splinter.

Find the median of the following data:<br> 10,16, 15, 14, 8, 21, 10, 5, 19, 18,4,5, 16, 12, 10,9
Anarel [89]

Answer:

11

Explanation:

First step: Order from least to greatest.

4,5,5,8,9,10,10,10,12,14,15,16,16,18,19,21

Second: If the we had an odd amount of data, the median would just be the middle number.  Since we have even amount of data, the median will be average of the 2 middles.

You have 16 data members here. The middle is going to be at the 16/2 th term and the [(16/2)+1 th] term. So in other words we need to average the 8th and 9th term here to find the median. So let's count to the 8th and then then the 9th to figure out what numbers these actually are.

8th term=10 and 9th term= 12 so the average of these are (10+12)/2=22/2=11.

The median is 11.
