1. Write an essay on one unintended consequence of the Columbian Exchange. To begin, read the examples of actions and consequenc

es below, and note how each consequence was unintended.
• Some European sailors have smallpox. They come in contact with Native Americans and pass the disease on to them. The disease devastates whole cultures.
• Europeans take potatoes back to the New World. Some European countries become overly dependent on the potato as a main food source.
• Affluent Europeans buy sugar from the New World. The slave trade burgeons as European colonists buy slaves to work on sugar cane plantations.
• Conquistadors bring horses with them to the New World. Plains Indians and other Native Americans become expert horsemen.
Conduct Research, Choose a Topic, and Write a Thesis Statement
Conduct some online exploration to find more consequences of the Columbian Exchange, and decide whether they are intended or unintended. Choose one unintended consequence and do in-depth research on it. Gather details such as locations or countries, key people, populations involved, and ways in which the unintended consequence can be seen many years or even centuries later. Then, write the consequence in the form of a question, such as, “How did the introduction of the horse to the New World change the lives of Native Americans?”
Use the question to formulate a thesis statement for your essay. The thesis should answer the question. Using the sample question above, the thesis would be, “Plains Indians domesticated horses from Europe. They became famous for their skill in hunting and fighting from horseback.” Write your thesis statement in one or two clear sentences.

Answer: The Columbian Exchange was the exchange of foods, ideas, and more. Christopher Columbus and his crew initiated the Columbian Exchange in 1492. This trade was between the Old World and the New World. Many people were greatly impacted by the new materials that they were introduced to. Although there were intended consequences there were also unintended consequences.

  One unintended consequence were horses. Spanish explorers brought horses when they entered the New World. Some of the horses escaped and were now living among Native Americans. They did not start using horses right away, in fact they feared them at first. Much later they began to use them and see their true potential.  

  Even though horses in the New World were unintentional Native Americans were positively impacted. Horses made transportation of people and items much easier. Horses then began to spread. More and more tribes started to utilize horses and it became the new normal. Altogether horses were a great unintentional consequence.

PART A: Which statement identifies the central idea of the text?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

<u>A) If it weren’t for Francis Pizarro’s, the Inca Empire would have continued to expand and prosper.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Consider, for example, we are told at the outset, <em>"When Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro landed in Peru in 1532, he found unimaginable riches. The Inca Empire was in full bloom." </em>

However, we were told that Pizarro captured and requested ransom from the last Inca emperor Atahualpa. What was the outcome? The text tells us, "Once Pizarro had executed the last emperor, the empire  rapidly collapsed." This detail brings out the central idea of the text, that is, "If it weren’t for Francis Pizarro’s, the Inca Empire would have continued to expand and prosper."

explain the differences between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey plan. how were these differences resolved
Delicious77 [7]
Both plans involved how the new Constitution would define representation in Congress. The Virginia Plan proposed that the number of delegates be based upon population, thus favoring larger states with more people. The New Jersey Plan proposed that each state have an equal number of delegates, thus favoring smaller states with fewer people. 

Under the Virginia Plan, a state like Virginia would have had a much greater say in Congress than smaller New Jersey since Virginia had a larger population. Under the New Jersey Plan, New Jerseyans would have had a disproportionate say relative to Virginians. Consider this, if each state had two delegates (under the NJ Plan) let's say New Jersey had 500,000 people and Virginia had 1,000,000 (not the real numbers). With two delegates, New Jersey would have had 1 say in Congress per 250,000 voters while Virginia would have had 1 say in Congress per 500,000 voters. 

These differences were resolved by creating a bicameral legislature. Today, the House of Representatives is a remnant of the Virginia Plan. States with larger populations have more seats in the House than those with smaller populations. For example, California has far more Representatives than Wyoming meaning California has a much greater say in the House. The Senate, on the other hand, is a remnant of the New Jersey Plan. Each state has two Senators regardless of population, which means each state has an equal say. Again, California has two Senators and Wyoming has two Senators despite the fact that California is much larger than Wyoming - this gives Wyoming a much greater say per voters than California. No law can pass through Congress without approval from both chambers of Congress, which means that smaller states are not overpowered, while larger states still have the ability to set the agenda.
