American involvement in World War I brought
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Extensive black migration to the North

Explanation:

From 1916-1970, 6 million African Americans migrated from the Southern states to the North, mostly for social reasons (escape from racial hatred, evade Jim Crow laws, meet up with black communities in the North) and economic opportunities (more factory jobs).  This is known as The Great Migration.

The other answers can be eliminated since (and I'm not 100% sure about this one, but assume that) the huge increase in factory workers for the war effort in World War 1 meant that trade unions became more appealing to workers so they could negotiate wages and benefits with industry managers.  After all, the purpose of a trade union is to protect the interests and rights of the workers, so trade unions likely did not decline.

"Loosing of controls on freedom of speech" is incorrect because of the Espionage Act of 1917, where the government could imprison you for disagreeing with them, like when Socialist Party leader Eugene Debs was sentenced to 10 years for saying the wrong things.

And for the last answer: the number of women in the workplace EXPLODED after the U.S. entrance into WWI; since so many men were sent to Europe, someone had to take their place at work, especially in factories that contributed ammo and other supplies for the war effort.

Someone help plz!
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

A. Those who profess devotion must declare so publicly, loudly, and often.

Explanation:

Jonathan Edwards was a preacher in the 1700s who advocated for people to declare their devotion to God, so that would make the most sense.

B doesn't make much sense.

C is true, but not applicable.

D is not really what he believed in.

So, I would say A as your answer. I'm about 95 percent sure it's correct.

Hope this helps!

Why was George Washington being elected unanimously important
mrs_skeptik [129]

On this day in 1789, George Washington becomes the first and only president to be unanimously elected by the Electoral College. He repeated this notable feat on the same day in 1792.

The peculiarities of early American voting procedure meant that although Washington won unanimous election, he still had a runner-up, John Adams, who served as vice president during both of Washington’s terms. Electors in what is now called the Electoral College named two choices for president. They each cast two ballots without noting a distinction between their choice for president and vice president. Washington was chosen by all of the electors and therefore is considered to have been unanimously elected. Of those also named on the electors’ ballots, Adams had the most votes and became vice president.

Although Washington’s overwhelming popularity prevented problems in 1789 and 1792, this procedure caused great difficulty in the elections of 1796 and 1800. In 1796, Federalist supporters of John Adams cast only one of their two votes in an effort to ensure that Adams would win the presidency without giving votes to any of the other candidates. This led to a situation in which the Federalist Adams won the highest number of votes and became president, but Thomas Jefferson, the opposing Democratic-Republican candidate, came in second and therefore became his opponent’s vice president.

In 1800, the system led to a tie between the Democratic-Republican candidates for president and vice president, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. This sent the vote to the House of Representatives, where Federalists voted for Burr instead of Jefferson, whom they despised. As a result, the Congressional vote ended in a tie 35 times before the Federalists decided to hand in blank ballots and concede the White House to Jefferson.

In 1804, the 12th Amendment to the Constitution ended this particular form of electoral chaos by stipulating that separate votes be cast for president and vice president.

Hope this helped!!!
