Congress has delegated responsibility for taking the census to the Department of Commerce and its Bureau of the Census in Title 13 of the United States Code. The law directs the secretary of commerce to “take a decennial census of population as of the first day of April . . . the ‘decennial census date’” in 1980, 1990, 2000, etc. The secretary must complete the census and report the total population, by states, to the president by December 31 of the census year. The purpose of the report is “the apportionment of Representatives in Congress among the several States” as required by Article I, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution.
When the Congress convenes in 2001, the president must transmit to that body a statement of the apportionment of the 435 representatives’ seats among the states. The number of representatives allocated to each state is based on the census results and determined by the “method of equal proportions.” Each state is guaranteed at least one representative, and the remaining 385 seats are apportioned among the states by assigning priority values to each seat.
Title 13, as amended by Public Law 94-171 (1975), also requires the secretary of commerce to report census results no later than April 1, 2001, to the bodies or officials charged with state legislative redistricting and to the governors. These reports contain the population data for various geographical areas within the state, including the smallest areas, the “census blocks.” The April 1 reports provide the basis for state and local level decennial redistricting efforts as well as for the redrawing of congressional districts within each state. Figure 1 explains the three-phase process by which the Census Bureau plans to gather and distribute this redistricting data by the April 1 deadline.

South Carolina is the original thirteen colony that is being described. Their free land was offered to immigrants that would come to the area, be patient, and wait for cities to spring up around them. The plantation owners were very wealthy and lived like nobles.
Because those that knew the trade and worked hard for the job often did not get the job unless they knew someone. And sometimes people in the spoil system did not know how do their job. It wasn't merit based. Like is someone worked their whole life to be a doctor and a high school graduate becomes a doctor because they knew a friend who could hire them.

<u>C. As the Aryans moved east and settled in the plains near the Ganges, they began to

<u>D. The Aryans developed a system of social classes in the new region.</u>
Explanation:
The Aryans are mostly identified as 'Central Asian' people who migrated to modern-day North Pakistan and India thousands of years ago. With them, they brought a new language, a culture of careful social classes and even beliefs that to this day, define India and the Hindu religion in particular.
Most North Indians called themselves Aryan, while the modern name of Persia is Iran, which means the land of Aryans. Adolf Hitler even identified Germanic people as Aryans.
