The American Federation of Labor (AFL) was a national federation of labor unions in the United States founded in Columbus, Ohio, in December 1886 by an alliance of craft unions disaffected from the Knights of Labor, a national labor association. Samuel Gompers of the Cigar Makers' International Union was elected president at its founding convention and reelected every year, except one, until his death in 1924. The AFL was the largest union grouping in the United States for the first half of the 20th century, even after the creation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) by unions which were expelled by the AFL in 1935 over its opposition to industrial unionism. The Federation was founded and dominated by craft unions throughout its first fifty years, after which many craft union affiliates turned to organizing on an industrial union basis to meet the challenge from the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in the 1940s.

What is one possible reason a constitutional monarchy developed in England while an absolute monarchy continued in Russia
Alexxx [7]

Constitutional monarchy developed in England because the Magna Carta placed limits on the Kings in 1215. Gradually the idea of ​​a Parliament began to take shape, which, little by little, removed powers from the monarchs. In 1649, King Charles I rebelled, found that he had unlimited powers, raised taxes as much as he could, and as a result was judged as a traitor and executed. After a period of exception, the monarchy was reinstituted with its son, Charles II, in the power. The message was clear: the monarchy could not and could not aspire to be absolute, thus passing to constitutional monarchy.

This kind of monarchy did not develop in Russia because the monarchy was overthrown during the Russian revolution and was never restored. In its place the Bolshevik Party took over.

Newly industrialized and suffering from World War I, Russia had a large mass of workers and peasants working hard and earning little. In addition, Tsar Nicholas II's absolutist government disliked the people who wanted a less oppressive and more democratic leadership. The sum of the factors led to popular demonstrations that caused the monarch to resign and, at the end of the process, gave rise to the Soviet Union, the first socialist country in the world, which lasted until 1991.

How do you think this water also the turn cold or a solid​
velikii [3]

Answer:

Answer:

Yes, when water becomes cold enough or reached zero degrees or negative zero degrees it will become solid. This is what we call ice, or the solid form of water.

This happens because when there is too much frigidity the water molecules will start to freeze as well, causing them to become tight and closely packed or frozen, producing solid ice.
