Answer:

Explanation:On June 25, 2013, the Court ruled by a 5 to 4 vote that Section 4(b) was unconstitutional because the coverage formula was based on data over 40 years old, making it no longer responsive to current needs and therefore an impermissible burden on the constitutional principles of federalism and equal sovereignty of the states.[

How did the Elkins act hurt corporations
Pani-rosa [81]
Couldn't receive discounts for the railroads: The Elkins Act attacked rebates given to certain corporations to ship their items while farmers and small businesses were paying full price to ship their goods. 

The Elkins Act made rebates or discounts for the railroad illegal. It required that everyone pay the same rate to use the rail lines preventing inequities in the transportation cost and imbalanced treatment. The high prices were putting smaller businesses and farmers out of business while larger corporations were shipping more cheaply.

TWENTY PTS! What was the effect of Ming emperors disallowing foreign exploration?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The Ming regime restored the former literary examinations for public office, which pleased the literary world, dominated by Southerners. In their own writing the Ming sought a return to classical prose and poetry styles and, as a result, produced writings that were imitative and generally of little consequence. Writers of vernacular literature, however, made real contributions, especially in novels and drama. Chinese traditional drama originating in the Song dynasty had been banned by the Mongols but survived underground in the South, and in the Ming era it was restored. This was chuanqi, a form of musical theatre with numerous scenes and contemporary plots. What emerged was kunqu style, less bombastic in song and accompaniment than other popular theatre. Under the Ming it enjoyed great popularity, indeed outlasting the dynasty by a century or more. It was adapted into a full-length opera form, which, although still performed today, was gradually replaced in popularity by jingxi (Peking opera) during the Qing dynasty.
