History

Answer:

B

Explanation:

On this date, during the 24th Congress (1835–1837), the U.S. House of Representatives instituted the “gag rule,” the first instance of what would become a traditional practice forbidding the House from considering anti-slavery petitions. Representative James Hammond of South Carolina first proposed the gag rule in December 1835. Speaker James Polk of Tennessee referred the issue to a special committee to resolve the problem which tied up floor debate for weeks. Committee Chairman Henry L. Pinckney of South Carolina reported back that all petitions, memorials, or resolutions regarding slavery should automatically be tabled and that no further action be taken upon them. Representative John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts raised the first and most impassioned objections to the procedure. Adams shouted during the roll call vote, “I hold the resolution to be a direct violation of the Constitution of the United States.” For the next four Congresses, Adams fervently fought against the gag rule, declaring it a restriction on free speech. Despite his efforts, the House successfully reintroduced the gag rule each Congress until Adams finally mustered enough votes to repeal it on December 3, 1844.

How it affected the 20th century :

It influenced the way that people think about such important social issues as race, gender, and class. It played an important role in the political process, particularly in shaping national election campaigns. TV programs and commercials have also been mentioned as major factors contributing to increased American materialism (a view that places more value on acquiring material possessions than on developing in other ways). Finally, television helped to spread American culture around the world.

How did Ellis Island differ from Angle Island? *
JulijaS [17]
B. Immigrants left Ellis Island within hours; they often remained in Angel Island for weeks.

Immigrants in Angel Island came from Asian countries, specifically, China, Japan, Russia, and South Asia. Upon arriving in Angel Island, they have to undergo medical examination and interrogation process.

The length of time an immigrant spend on Angel Island varies on the length of his or her interrogation process. Some immigrants produce false paperwork, which lengthened their interrogation process because the authenticity of said paperwork must be verified before they can be granted entry to the United States.
