1. Homes in the suburbs were affordable to middle class families. This had to do with lower land prices in suburbs vs. the city and also new building practices that brought down the cost of these suburban homes.
2. The G.I. bill provided loans to military veterans, so this also helped them be able to afford "the American dream" of home ownership.
3. The construction of highways facilitated travel into the cities for work from the suburbs. (Note that the Federal Aid Highway Act was passed in 1956.)
4. There was a perception that life in the suburbs would be safer and less susceptible to crime than life in the city.
That's several reasons you can work with.
Hello. You forgot to put the text to which this question refers. The text is:
The great idea in Article V is that change requires two elements: consensus and necessity. There must be substantive national agreement, as well as agreement in most of the states, that an urgent problem exists that cannot be remedied by the courts, legislatures or Congress, and which can be solved only if the Constitution is changed.
—Mary Frances Berry, The New York Times, September 13, 1987
Answer:
Amending the Constitution
Explanation:
The above text reflects on how the constitution changes through amendments should be. the author of the text shows that the amendments should only be approved when there is a mutual agreement between several factors that prove and justify that there is a problem in society that is impossible to be solved by courts, legislatures or Congress. Furthermore, this problem needs to be solved with such urgency that only an amendment to the constitution, that is, a modification of the constitution can solve it. If this condition were not proposed, the constitution would run the risk of being a set of temporary laws with little or no real influence.
