N 1880, San Fransisco enacted an ordinance that required all laundry businesses had to be in buildings that were made of stone or brick. If they wanted to have a laundry that was in a wooden building, they needed to get permission from the board of supervisors. Due to challenges in other employment areas, Chinese immigrants often worked in or owned laundromats. In fact, 89% of San Fransisco's laundry businesses were operated by workers of Chinese descent.
The board of supervisors began granting whites permission to have laundry businesses in wooden buildings but didn't grant permission to Chinese immigrants. Those that violated this ordinance had to pay a fine. Yick Wo was an operator for 22 years in San Fransisco. He did not have a permit and refused to pay the fine. Wo was arrested and convicted. He then appealed his conviction, saying that the law was discriminating against him because of his race. The court ruled that he was still protected under the 14th Amendment and dismissed all charges. Looking at the background for this case and the ruling, the best answer choice would be that the court ruled that Chinese Americans were able to operate laundry facilities, just as native-born citizens could.
To begin with, a political machine is an organization in which an organization gains support via promising rewards to those who keep them in power. It's designed to keep a particular group in power by promising favors. Typically, immigrants who first arrived here were impoverished, so political machines became so successful because they would promise to set immigrants up with homes or jobs or food so long as they had their vote.
So in short:
Who: Organizations whose main goals were getting and keeping power.
What: They essentially bribed immigrants for their votes.
Why: Political Machines did this to stay in power.

The Great Compromise led to the formation of a bicameral legislature that comprised of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The problem which led to the formation of these houses was the contention between the small and large states. The large states wanted representation on the basis of numbers while the small states wanted representation equal representation to avoid domination by the larger states.
