How did the discovery of gold in California prompt the debate for building a transcontinental railroad?

History
1 answer:
Harlamova29_29 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Connected with the East.

Explanation:

The building of the transcontinental railroad opened the American West to rapid development. The discovery of gold in California led to the expansion of the railroad because more people were eager to connect the place with the east. California was part of the west, for settlers it required to cross mountains, plains, rivers, Native Indians territories, and deserts which was risky and difficult. The settlers began to move westward across the United States with gradually building of a transcontinental railroad.

5. Which is NOT a reason the anti-federalists want a Bill of Rights added to the Constitution?) A. to guarantee rights to citize
icang [17]

<em>C. To say that the rights listed are the only rights citizens have.</em>

Explanation:

The Anti-Federalists wanted to have a weak government, as they felt like having a strong government would result in an abuse of power. They often associated having a strong government with British tyranny.

The Articles of Confederation was the United States' first constitution. It was very weak and gave little to no power to the federal government. The government could not tax the states, enforce laws properly, regulate trade, draft soldiers, etc. The Anti-Federalists agreed with this, but the Federalists wanted to amend the Articles and thought having a strong government meant having a strong country.

Eventually, the Articles of Confederation was going to get reworked during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, but it ended up getting scrapped and the United States Constitution was created instead. The Anti-Federalists did not agree with this and wanted to have a Bill of Rights to protect the citizens from the power of the government.

The Federalists deemed the Bill of Rights unnecessary but wanted to please the Anti-Federalists, so the Bill of Rights was created. It guaranteed the rights of the citizens and protected the rights of the states from the federal government. It also set up the rules for due process, which is respecting the legal rights of citizens and not abusing power.

The Anti-Federalists did not say anything about that the rights listed are the only ones that the citizens have. The Bill of Rights gives all of the power to the citizens that are not otherwise stated to go to the federal government.

First things first. 

Government:
 The Iroquois had a grand counsel that would make important decisions. This counsel consisted of 6 members, one from each nation. Unanimity was the deciding factor of all decisions. The laws were binding unless ratified by 70% of the men, and 70% of the mothers.

Food:The Iroquois were mainly farmers, but they were also hunters, gatherers, fishermen, and horticulturists. They mainly grew Corn, squash, and beans. These are known as 'the three sisters'.

Clothing: The adult summer attire was only enough clothing to cover their lower extremities, while the children wore nothing. During the winter, they wore animal skins. They wore Moccasins for their feet.

Housing: The Iroquois would have their villages settled near water in a place that is easy to defend.

Religion: The Iroquois believed in several deities, including the spirits of Corn, Bean, and Squash, known as 'the three sisters'

Art: The Iroquois would use wampum shells to make Wampum belts, a sort of artistic belt designed to speak a message.

Recreation: The Iroquois played a few sports, the most popular being 'Lacrosse'. This game was played by taking to teams, made of 6-8 players from 2 sets of clans for each side. The objective was to fling an animal skin ball through the posts on the other side using a netted pole.
