Answer:

Homestead Act

Explanation:

The legislation that most contributed to the situation in this photograph is "Homestead Act".

From the photograph, we can discover a family sitting in front of a house. The house is likely the family's homestead.

The Homestead Act is an Act of 1862 that enabled adult to own land. The adult must not have taken up any arm against the Federal government of the United States. The Act also included black Americans and encouraged them to participate.

Some of the requirements needed in order to qualify for the Homestead Act is that the person must be the head of the household or reached at least twenty-one years of age. The individual must live on the designated land, farm on it for minimum of five years and build a home.

The above requirements stated can be deduced in the photograph.

Explain how the Framers of the Constitution divided American government to create a democracy. a) Describe and give examples of
Artist 52 [7]
T<span>he Framers of the Constitution divided American government into three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial. This created a better democracy because the power is not concentrated within one branch or in the hands of a few. 

The systems in </span><span>place that protect against one branch having too much power is called "separation of powers" and "checks and balances." This system keeps each branch from getting too powerful by limiting its powers. For example, the legislative branch can pass a law but the president veto it. That's a way the executive branch checks the legislative. And let's say the legislature really wants to pass that law, so they vote on it. With 2/3 majority of votes for the law, Congress can override the president's veto. That's a way the legislative branch checks on the executive. And let's say that although that law was passed by the legislature, some say that it's unconstitutional. If that happens, then the judicial branch checks out the law and can declare it unconstitutional. If it's declared unconstitutional, then the law will be no longer enforced or valid. That's a way the judicial branch checks the other branches. 

Other examples of "checks and balances" is how the president is in charge of the armed forces, but only Congress can declare war. The judicial branch interprets laws and their constitutionality, but the president appoint the federal judges. The president appoints the federal judges, but the legislative branch has to approve those officials. The legislative branch also decides how many judges would be in the Supreme Court. The president can veto and the judicial can repeal laws, but the legislature can impeach the president and federal judges/officials. 

These systems are important to American democracy because they keep the government from getting too powerful and oppressing the people. </span>
