After the Roanoke incident, plans to launch another colony in Virginia started in 1606 when the Jamestown colony was formed nearby. This was the first successful colony in New England.
American civil service system changed since George Washington's presidency as it has developed into more of a merit-based system for selecting officials.
Option C
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The merit-based system of filling government office jobs enhances political loyalty and responsibility.
The method also has its disadvantages.
The most frequent complaint was that the politicians are no longer as sensitive as they once were to elected government officials.
It may, however, be a reasonable balance for the level of performance and knowledge required in the world today.
The merit system would have also pressured all candidates to perform correctly, as provided for in the Pendleton Act, many years ago. This mandatory assessment has since been eliminated and now, about 85% of all federal government positions are filled by evaluating the candidates' qualifications, backgrounds, knowledge and skills.
Correct answer: A) Americans paying higher interest rates on home and car loans.
President Jimmy Carter struggled against a bad economy in the United States during his time in office (Jan, 1977- Jan, 1981). When he entered office, the country was experiencing "stagflation" -- a combination of inflation and minimal economic growth. The actions of the Federal Reserve Board, under chairman G. William Miller, contributed to further inflation problems. The inflation rate went from 5.8% in 1976 to 7.7% in 1978. That meant that interest rates for home loans and car loans for American consumers got steeper and more difficult to afford. Then in 1979, the oil crisis hit as world oil production dropped in the wake of the Iranian Revolution. In 1979, inflation in the US went up to 11.3%. That only made matters worse.
In 1979, President Carter replaced Miller as chairman of the Federal Reserve, appointing Paul Volcker in his place. Volcker continued to serve in that role under the Reagan administration also, and played a large role in bringing inflation back under control.
The correct answer is through working with William Lloyd Garrison
