4 0

Explanation:

Former President John Quincy Adams, who had been elected to the House of Representatives in 1836, led opposition to the gag rule. He denied that he was an abolitionist; rather, he argued that the gag rule violated the constitutional right to petition--a right which extended even to slaves.

Which example best illustrates education reform in the mid-1800's
oksian1 [2.3K]
<span>During the later part of the 1880s many governments had begun to establish public schools for educational services to children. Although somewhat basic in physical structure and combining different grades, schools taught reading, writing and mathematics. However, as opposed to home teaching by parents that themselves were not highly educated, the public schools were formal and structured. After establishing elementary schools, the government also expanded to high schools.</span>

How was american expansionism overseas similar to previous continental expansion westward, and how was it different? was the tak
dimulka [17.4K]

On the continental expansion, Americans pushed Native Americans off their land making deals with them that favored the US more than the tribes. After that, Americans pushed their ideas to the areas being developed trying to make Native Americans abandon their own culture.

On the expansionism overseas the US returned the land to its original inhabitants, this happened in Cuba for example. This was the main difference between expansionism inside and outside the US.

The taking of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines was a violation of fundamental American ideals of self-government and democracy, this was actually the main argument of Anti-Imperialists. Once the US  had claimed the territory they established their own rule and define role/impact in each respective country. Conquering other territories and forcing them to abide by American ideals and culture goes against the idea of American freedom.

A student is given two allusions to include in a brief writing piece about being brave. The allusions are Hercules and Einstein.
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Hercules was gifted with amazing strength and it caused problems that he had to deal with. He had to overcome the obstacles and the chance that he may hurt someone and be punished because he couldn't control his strength. Allusions to Hercules: In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Prince Hamelt compares himself to Hercules.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955), a German-born American mathematician, serves as a literary allusion to intelligence. Einstein formulated the theory of relativity, and was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921. He is often considered the greatest scientist of the 20th century. Many movie producers over the years have taken advantage of the literary allusion that comes out of the name Einstein. For example, in the movie The Observer (1998), they say, “It’s a neat theory, but you don’t have to be Einstein to spot some serious flaws” (qtd. in Delahunty, Dignen, and Stock 216). What this movie line is implying is that a person does not have to be a comprehensive genius like Einstein to realize that there is something wrong with their theory. A lot of people compare their intelligence to Einstein’s, Einstein’s being the most intelligent.
