<em>A. They would have more power to vote on behalf of their interests.</em>

Explanation:

The North and South both wanted to maximize their representation in Congress because they would have more power to vote on the behalf of their interests.

The main issue that the North and South disagreed on was the issue of slavery. Remember, during this time the South was focused on agriculture, while the North was more focused on industrialization. The South needed people for labor work in order to thrive, so they desperately wanted to keep slavery. On the other hand, the North was not too keen on slavery. While some people didn't really care a whole lot, a lot of people did care in the North and even wanted to abolish slavery.

The South felt that if the North had more representation in Congress, they would try to abolish slavery, which would be bad for the livelihood of the Southern people. The North felt that if the South had more representation in Congress, they would try to expand slavery, which the North did not want.

Why did the American economy collapse in 1929? Explain the role of the primary factors, and be sure to note the role of governme
ASHA 777 [7]
The Great Depression was a period of unprecedented decline in economic activity. It is generally agreed to have occurred between 1929 and 1939. Although parts of the economy had begun to recover by 1936, high unemployment persisted until the Second World War.
<span>The 1920s witnessed an economic boom in the US (typified by Ford Motor cars, which made a car within the grasp of ordinary workers for the first time). Industrial output expanded very rapidly. Sales were often promoted through buying on credit. However, by early 1929, the steam had gone out of the economy and output was beginning to fall.The stock market had boomed to record levels. Price to earning ratios were above historical averages.The US Agricultural sector had been in recession for many more years<span>The UK economy had been experiencing deflation and high unemployment for much of the 1920s. This was mainly due to the cost of the first world war and attempting to rejoin the Gold standard at a pre world war 1 rate. This meant Sterling was overvalued causing lower exports and slower growth. The US tried to help the UK stay in the gold standard. That meant inflating the US economy, which contributed to the credit boom of the 1920s. 
</span></span>During September and October a few firms posted disappointing results causing share prices to fall. On October 28th (Black Monday), the decline in prices turned into a crash has share prices fell 13%. Panic spread throughout the stock exchange as people sought to unload their shares. On Tuesday there was another collapse in prices known as 'Black Tuesday'. Although shares recovered a little in 1930, confidence had evaporated and problems spread to the rest of the financial system. Share prices would fall even more in 1932 as the depression deepened. By 1932, The stock market fell 89% from its September 1929 peak. It was at a level not seen since the nineteenth century.
<span>Falling share prices caused a collapse in confidence and consumer wealth. Spending fell and the decline in confidence precipitated a desire for savers to withdraw money from their banks.</span>

In a paragraph or two, describe the role of each branch of the federal government and explain how each branch works as a check o
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The Federal Government consists of three different branches:

-On the one hand, the executive branch is in charge of the administration of the country's resources and the application of the laws passed by Congress. This branch consists of the President, the Vice President and the Executive Cabinet. The executive branch controls the legislative branch through the veto power of the President, who can determine that a law sanctioned by the Congress does not become valid; and the judicial power through the proposal of who are the candidates to become judges of the Supreme Court.

-The legislative power consists of the Congress and its function is to enact the laws that will govern life in society in the nation. It is also in charge of controlling the executive power through the approval of certain acts of the President by the Senate, and in turn the judicial power in conjunction with the executive branch through the holding of political impeachments to certain officials.

-The judiciary consists of the Supreme Court of the United States and lower courts at the Federal level, and its function is to interpret the Constitution of the United States and the other laws of the nation and to sanction those who fail to comply with said regulations. Through the interpretation of the Constitution, the Supreme Court exercises a constitutional control of the acts of both the President and the Congress.
