Prohibition
In 1917, the US Congress passed the 18th Amendment, prohibiting the manufacture, transportation and sale of intoxicating beverages. The 18th Amendment was ratified in 1919. But enforcing Prohibition proved to be exceedingly difficult. As one observer at the time said, """I have noticed that every attempt to legislate morals into the people has resulted in disaster." By 1933, Congress passed and the states ratified the 21st Amendment, which repealed the 18th Amendment and ended the Prohibition Era.
Answer: 84
Steps:
1. Find distance between (-8,-6) and (4,-6) using distance formula:
√ (4 - (-8))^2 + ((-6) - (-6))^2
√ (12)^2 + (0)^2
√ 144 + 0
√ 144
12
2. Find distance between (1,2) and (8,2) using distance formula:
√ (8-1)^2 + (2-2)^2
√ (7)^2 + (0)^2
√ 49 + 0
√ 49
7
3. Multiply found values to find area
A = l x w
A = 12 x 7
A = 84
Answer:
LMELMELME
Explanation:
The letters 'N' and 'R' are the third and sixth letters of the word 'Denver'.
*Think, every third letter of the word.
The word 'Baltimore' has a number of letters also divisible by 3 ('Baltimore' contains 9, 'Denver' contains 6), so the rule established above will also work here.
Underlining every third letter in 'Ba<u>l</u>ti<u>m</u>or<u>e</u>', we get the first part of the pattern, '<u>LME</u>'.
In the secret code language, 'NR' is repeated 3 times (including the first) to write 'NRNRNR', so by repeating every third letter of the word 'Baltimore' ('LME') three times, we get 'LMELMELME'.
The power-sharing system of government adopted by the United States, in which individual states have the ability to adopt laws not necessarily favored by the majority of Americans, is called the dual court system.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation</u>:
The power-sharing system of government adopted by the United States, in which individual states have the ability to adopt laws not necessarily favored by the majority of Americans, is called the dual court system.
Under dual federalism, national and state governments are unique in their own way and provide different services. From the year 1930, the American country is being governed by dual federalism. The power of federalism was shortened by the Supreme Court using the commerce clause powers.
