Answer:

The number of immigrants that were allowed entry into the US through the national quota system was limited by the Immigration Act of 1924. The quota allowed the immigrant visas to two percent of the total number of people of each nationality in the US as per the 1890 census. It excluded the migration from Asia. The provisions of the immigration act of 1924 paved way for the 1924 act. The 1917 act included a literacy test on arrival and also increased tax which was to be paid upon arrival.

<em>In the 1920s when a new way was sought to restrict the immigrants</em>.<em> It was introduced by Republican Senator William P. Dillingham. The quota system set created immigration quotas which were set at three percent of the total population of the foreign-born of each nationality in the US as per 1910 census records.</em>

A short paragraph arguing for the protection of American businesses overseas. (U.S. History 1 Unit 3)
ryzh [129]

Starting from the half of the 20th century, American enterprises started moving a series of their operations overseas int he search for gaining a competitive edge over their competitors. Cost reduction in the form of transport and labor costs was the main factor behind the moving of businesses overseas.

However, the political and economic environment of numerous countries in the world where these companies operate is complicated, as sudden government changes can bring the economy downwards or upwards. Another important factor is the guarantee of security of these businesses. The control of these businesses by governments or sudden attacks by locals are commons events that have happened throughout history. This is why it is important for the Department of State to constantly monitor US enterprises overseas in order to guarantee the protection of their interests.

why does the house members based on state population, why are representatives based on population? I am really confused
Stels [109]
Because the more people a state has, the more power it has (in relationship to all the other states). So, since it has a big population, it needs more representatives to represent how many people there are. idk if this helps :/ sorry
