The correct answer is B) to make train schedules simpler.

In 1883, the reason that led Congress to establish time zones in America was to make train schedules simpler.

On November 18, 1883, Railroads in the United States started to use standard times with four different time zones: Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern. So every part of the country synchronized their clocks with this new system and train schedules became simpler.

However, time-zone became official in the United States until 1918, with the passage of the Standard Time Act.

Yes I suppose they could pass such a law as long as all the branches agree and emergencies are exempt.

I just need someone to explain what this question means.... I am confused. Just tell me and i can answer it probably.

It's just asking you what group wins the majority (aka most of the votes) on a law, out of 10 votes.

for example, say you have a group voting on whether or not a club should get shirts made. 6 people say YES SHIRTS and 4 people say NO THAT IDEA SUCKS.

the YES SHIRTS group won the vote by a margin of 2, because 2 more people voted for shirts than the amount of people who think shirts suck. it's asking you what most of the group in your question agreed on.

Which situation contributed to the economic problems of the late 1920s?
Ipatiy [6.2K]
It is the excessive use of credit. The shares trading system crash of 1929 touched off a chain of occasions that dove the United States into its longest, most profound monetary emergency in its history. It is awfully shortsighted to see money markets crash as the single reason for the Great Depression. A solid economy can recuperate from such a compression.

The two social classes of ancient Rome were made up of patricians and plebeians. citizens. nobles. tribunes.
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The two social classes of ancient Rome were made up of patricians and plebeians.

Explanation:

Patricians were the upper class of Ancient Rome. They claimed to be descendants of the families who founded Rome or who settled there shortly after it was founded. As a consequence of their antiquity in the Roman nation, as well as their status of being original from Rome and not from conquered or annexed peoples, the Patricians originally held most of the political and economic power in Ancient Rome. Thus, they practically controlled to their pleasure the decisions of the Senate, and they handled the appointments of the consuls and other positions of power. This was so until the outbreak of the Patrician-Plebeian War, which ended up granting equality to both social classes through Lex Hortensia in 287 BC.

For their part, the Plebeians were Roman citizens who had civil rights under Roman law, but who had no political power or strategic economic importance. Some of them owned land, inherited from their ancestors, but had no greater wealth than some businesses. They were the lowest free class in Ancient Rome, only above slaves and free non-citizens.
