In the decades after the Civil War, cities in the United States grew at an incredible rate. In 1860, only nine cities had a popu

lation of more than 100,000. By 1880 that number had more than doubled to 20. Twenty years later in 1900, there were 38 cities with over 100,000 residents. By 1920, with 68 such cities, the country’s urban population exceeded that of rural areas for the first time in American history. New York City led the way with a population of nearly 3,500,000 in 1900, but other cities like Chicago weren’t far behind. Over a 40 year period, Chicago’s population grew from 100,000 to 1,700,000. This massive growth was driven by three factors: immigration, migration and industrialization.
Which of the following best describes the purpose of the passage?
A
to explain how immigration, migration and industrialization made New York City larger than Chicago in 1900
B
to argue that urban life is more important to American history than rural life is
C
to show how quickly cities grew after 1860 due to immigration, migration and industrialization
D
to describe the political situation in the cities of the United States after 1860

The constitution of coahuila y tejas (1824) created a unicameral legislature. how is a unicameral legislature different from a b
GREYUIT [131]

A legislative system with only one house or assembly is known as a unicameral legislature or simply unicameralism. While a bicameral legislature is a type of governance in which the two chambers share the same rights and authority.

For instance, Finland's parliament only has one chamber. A unicameral system's main benefit is more effective law making since it makes the legislative process easier and eliminates the chance of a deadlock between two houses.

India is an example of bicameralism, where each of its 28 states and the union both have two houses. In a bicameral legislature, the two chambers share responsibility for enacting and implementing legislation.

Stability, more diverse representation, and the passage of high-caliber legislation are all benefits of a bicameral legislature. Deadlock and uneven representation are two drawbacks. A bicameral parliamentary system's stability stems from the two chambers' capacity to balance each other's influence.
