History

Answer:

The Constitutional Convention gathered in Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation. The Virginia delegation took the initiative to frame the debate by immediately drawing up and presenting a proposal, for which delegate James Madison is given chief credit. It was, however, Edmund Randolph, the Virginia governor at the time, who officially put it before the convention on May 29, 1787 in the form of 15 resolutions.

The scope of the resolutions, going well beyond tinkering with the Articles of Confederation, succeeded in broadening the debate to encompass fundamental revisions to the structure and powers of the national government. The resolutions proposed, for example, a new form of national government having three branches: legislative, executive, and judicial. One contentious issue facing the convention was the manner in which large and small states would be represented in the legislature. The contention was whether there would be equal representation for each state regardless of its size and population, or proportionate to population giving larger states more votes than less-populous states.

What were some of the main causes of the Red Scare?
blondinia [14]

As the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States intensified in the late 1940s and early 1950s, hysteria over the perceived threat posed by Communists in the U.S. became known as the Red Scare. (Communists were often referred to as “Reds” for their allegiance to the red Soviet flag.) The Red Scare led to a range of actions that had a profound and enduring effect on U.S. government and society. Federal employees were analyzed to determine whether they were sufficiently loyal to the government, and the House Un-American Activities Committee, as well as U.S. Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, investigated allegations of subversive elements in the government and the Hollywood film industry. The climate of fear and repression linked to the Red Scare finally began to ease by the late 1950s.

Which of these describes the main goal of Lyndon B. Johnson's "Great Society" program?
jonny [76]

The correct answer is B) The elimination of poverty and racial injustice in America.

Lyndon B Johnson's "Great Society" program was the name given to the policies and laws he wanted to implement in American society in order to make it equal for all Americans. At the time of his presidency, racism was still rampant in the US (especially in the Southern states) and millions of Americans lived in poverty. His goal was to create federal programs that would help aid in America becoming a better society. An example of this would be the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which helped to end segregation of public facilities.
