History

Answer:

In the late 1800s, people in many parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity. Others came seeking personal freedom or relief from political and religious persecution, and nearly 12 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1870 and 1900. During the 1870s and 1880s, the vast majority of these people were from Germany, Ireland, and England - the principal sources of immigration before the Civil War. Even so, a relatively large group of Chinese immigrated to the United States between the start of the California gold rush in 1849 and 1882, when federal law stopped their immigration.

With the onset of hard economic times in the 1870s, European immigrants and Americans began to compete for the jobs traditionally reserved for the Chinese. With economic competition came dislike and even racial suspicion and hatred. Such feelings were accompanied by anti-Chinese riots and pressure, especially in California, for the exclusion of Chinese immigrants from the United States. The result of this pressure was the Chinese Exclusion Act, passed by Congress in 1882. This Act virtually ended Chinese immigration for nearly a century.

Immigrants entered the United States through several ports. Those from Europe generally came through East Coast facilities, while those from Asia generally entered through West Coast centers. More than 70 percent of all immigrants, however, entered through New York City, which came to be known as the "Golden Door." Throughout the late 1800s, most immigrants arriving in New York entered at the Castle Garden depot near the tip of Manhattan. In 1892, the federal government opened a new immigration processing center on Ellis Island in New York harbor.

Although immigrants often settled near ports of entry, a large number did find their way inland. Many states, especially those with sparse populations, actively sought to attract immigrants by offering jobs or land for farming. Many immigrants wanted to move to communities established by previous settlers from their homelands.

Once settled, immigrants looked for work. There were never enough jobs, and employers often took advantage of the immigrants. Men were generally paid less than other workers, and women less than men. Social tensions were also part of the immigrant experience. Often stereotyped and discriminated against, many immigrants suffered verbal and physical abuse because they were "different." While large-scale immigration created many social tensions, it also produced a new vitality in the cities and states in which the immigrants settled. The newcomers helped transform American society and culture, demonstrating that diversity, as well as unity, is a source of national strength.

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D

Reptile [31]

<u>The role the decision-making process plays in the activities of a political party:</u>

The political way to deal with basic leadership takes what the judicious and down to earth models forgot about and places that any authoritative action is a political and ideological action. The procedure of levelheaded basic leadership favors rationale, objectivity, and examination over subjectivity and understanding.

"Rational" in this setting doesn't mean normal or composed as it does in the conversational sense. By winning gathering assignments through essential races, extremists or change applicants can work inside the gatherings to access the general political decision voting form and in this manner improve their odds of general political decision triumphs without hosting to sort out third gatherings.  

A few components which the model uses to the role the decision-making process are:  

  • Encountering the circumstance.  
  • Examining the circumstance.  
  • Time constraints.
  • Executing the choice.  
  • Choice Quality  
  • Subordinate responsibility.

how did the Mayberry V Madison ruling affect affect the Budgetel branch of federal government plz help ​
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Marbury v. Madison firmly established that the Supreme Court of the United States has the power to

determine the constitutionality and validity of the acts of the other two branches of government – a

concept that is a fundamental characteristic of American government. But this was not always the case.

In Marbury v. Madison, decided in 1803, the Supreme Court, for the first time, struck down an act of

Congress as unconstitutional. This decision created the doctrine of judicial review and set up the

Supreme Court of the United States as chief interpreter of the Constitution.
