XYZ Affair

Explanation:

XYZ affair was a conflict that arose between France and the United States because the French people were not happy with the fact that the U.S reached an agreement (Jay Treaty) with Britain. This event happened from 1798 to 1800. To restore peace between the nations, President John Adams sent three representatives to France.

To their dismay, they were told by French middlemen, namely, Nicholas Hubbard, Jean Hottinguer (X), Pierre Bellamy (Y), and Lucien Hauteval (Z)  that before they could see the Foreign affairs minister, they had to pay a loan and bribe. John Adams made the statement above when presenting the matter to congress. He termed those middlemen XYZ.

At the constitutional convention (1787), which issue was resolved by the great compromise
Anna [14]
The Great Compromise resolved the issue of representation in the United States legislature. Large states wanted greater representation because of their larger population, and smaller states wanted all states to be represented equally. On July 16, 1787, the Great Compromise, also commonly known as the Connecticut Compromise, resolved this issue. It was determined in the Great Compromise that the House of Representatives would have proportional representation based on state size, and the Senate would have two representatives from each state.

Why did Abraham Lincoln create the 10% Plan?? *PLEASE USE IN YOUR OWN WORDS!!!*
KATRIN_1 [288]

Probably because he knew that most Confederate states would never reach a majority in terms of population consensus. He knew once the states were back in the Union, he could work on reestablishing their relationships with the federal government. So, he was just looking to get them back in the Union.

Analyze how two court cases—Engel v. Vitale (1962) and West Virginia Board of Education V. Barnette (1943)—confirmed the First A
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Engel v. Vitale (1962) was a case in which New York State's Board of Regents attempted to force children to pray in public schools. The Supreme Court ruled that this law violated the First Amendment. The ruling affirmed that, in the United States, church and state (religion and government) were separate. If a child attended a public school, he/she should be able to express his/her own religious beliefs in any way he/she sees fit. The case of West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette (1943) involved forced participation in the Pledge of Allegiance. Two students claimed they could not participate in the pledge based on religious beliefs and sued the state board. Again, the Supreme Court agreed that the students should be allowed to excuse themselves from any ceremonies that offended their religious beliefs.

Answer:

In the study of history as an academic discipline, a primary source (also called original source or evidence) is an artifact, a document, diary, manuscript, autobiography, a recording, or other source of information that was created at the time under study. It serves as an original source of information about the topic. Similar definitions can be used in library science, and other areas of scholarship, although different fields have somewhat different definitions. In journalism, a primary source can be a person with direct knowledge of a situation, or a document written by such a person.
