Answer:

11. During the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the plans for Congress proposed by the delegates from New Jersey and Virginia differed mainly over the issue of established equal representation in the Senate and proportionate representation in the House of Representatives

12. State representation in Congress. Delegates at the Constitutional Convention of 1787 agreed to the Three-fifths Compromise to solve a dispute directly related to "state representation in Congress", since delegates were divided over how the slave population should be counted in Congress.

13. i dont know lol

14. The Constitution states that the reason for the census is to determine how many House of Representative members there will be from each state. Only U.S. citizens can (or are supposed to) vote, therefore, the census is intended to tally the total of U.S. citizens. This is not rocket science.

15. power division

Federalism is the concept of power division: between the central government and the local governments that have some autonomy over their local matters. For example, in the US marriage equality used to be decided on a state level.

How did president theodore roosevelt's "square deal" epitomize the notion that the federal government should serve as a steward
Zepler [3.9K]
Let me handle your first question -- always good to do one question at a time here.  :-)

Prior to President Theodore Roosevelt, those who preceded him in federal government had tended to side with industry leaders, expecting laborers to fall in line and do the work for the good of the companies.  In 1902, when there was a particularly tense strike by coal workers, Roosevelt invited both sides (labor leaders and management leaders) to the White House to negotiate. This was an example of the way he saw the role of government leadership as "steward" to the nation, mediating on behalf of everyone's interests, not just the interests of a powerful small group.  His "Square Deal" policies were aimed at making things fair and square for the general public.  An example of this would be how much land was set aside under his administration as national forests, national parks, national monuments, etc. He was seeking to protect the use of the land for all Americans' interests, rather than letting corporations tear into any land or forest they wanted in order to grab natural resources.
