Answer:

This was what he had thought:

Arawak men and women, naked, tawny, and full of wonder, emerged from their villages onto the island's beaches and swam out to get a closer look at the strange big boat. When Columbus and his sailors came ashore, carrying swords, speaking oddly, the Arawaks ran to greet them, brought them food, water, gifts.Arawak men and women, naked, tawny, and full of wonder, emerged from their villages onto the island's beaches and swam out to get a closer look at the strange big boat. When Columbus and his sailors came ashore, carrying swords, speaking oddly, the Arawaks ran to greet them, brought them food, water, gifts. He later wrote of this in his log:

They ... brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks' bells. They willingly traded everything they owned... . They were well-built, with good bodies and handsome features.... They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane... . They would make fine servants.... With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.

<h3>The 70's had the biggest shift in America.</h3>

The 70's was an era of economic struggle, cultural change and technological innovation.

Cultural Change:

The civil-rights movement set off a domino effect. Numerous other groups, including Native Americans, Hispanics, and women began protesting for equal treatment. Across the country and on college campuses, people protested in marches and sit-ins.

The 70's became more accepting of skin color, sexuality, religion, etc.

“Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”

Economic Struggle:

Economic growth should have been helped by rising oil prices. In fact, the 1970s were a time of skyrocketing inflation and unemployment; 2 3 the periods of slow economic growth could all be attributed to high oil prices' cost-push inflation.

High taxes, environmental laws, highway speed limits, national park policies in the West, affirmative action, and school desegregation plans were all battles they waged. In 1970, Americans commemorated the first Earth Day, and Congress passed the National Environmental Policy Act. Two years later, the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act were passed. The late 1970s oil crisis brought even more attention to the topic of conservation.

Clothing:

60's:

Wore swanky dresses, the full-skirted swing style, the slim pencil dress, hemlines were shortened to knee length while necklines rose up to more modest and simple round or boat necklines.

70's:

Tie dye shirts, Mexican 'peasant' blouses, folk-embroidered Hungarian blouses, ponchos, capes, and military surplus clothing. Bottom attire for women during this time included bell-bottoms, gauchos, frayed jeans, midi skirts, and ankle-length maxi dresses.

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Congress accused president Johnson of abusing his presidential powers, and Johnson thought that congress overstepped its authority in carrying out radical reconstruction.

Explanation:

After Abraham Lincoln was killed, in 1865, Andrew Johnson was elected as the president of the U.S. Shortly after that, he started with his plan for the South’s reconstruction. When the Congress met to evaluate the situation, one of the assumptions was that President Johnson was overstepping his boundaries, as the Republicans thought the reconstruction of the South was not his job, but the job of the Congress.

Congress made a plan to distribute the land between freedmen and create schools, but this bill was vetoed by President Johnson. He said this was a violation of the separation of powers, as he considered it expensive and unconstitutional.

a poll showed voters prefer that members of congress act as delegates. how might we expect the effect of this to differ between

Alexxandr [17]

If members of Congress were truly delegates for their area then each would have continuous contact with their district. For Senators this would be more difficult as there are only 2 per state and for larger states this would require communicating with millions of people across many miles of land to have face-to-face contact. House Representatives are based on the population of a state and therefore House districts are smaller and easier to manage. Currently they best represent the idea of a delegate to the federal government as they are more able to communicate with their district. With advancements in technology the communication piece is now easier to accomplish. However, as delegates they should also offer more voting on issues they will be voting on in Congress. These votes or polling would truly give the representative a delegate role, if they listen and vote based on majority polling.
