Answer:

B. Madison's opposition to Hamilton's debt plan gave Jefferson the power to negotiate the location

Explanation:

Ok, so Hamilton had a plan to get rid of the US's debt after the Revolutionary war and the Southerner's didn't like it, so Hamilton didnt have enough votes in congress to get the plan passed. Madison was a Federalist with a lot of Democratic-Republican views, so he didnt like the plan either, but Hamilton wanted the plan passed, so he negotiated with his Federalist buddy, James Madison, who was friends with Jefferson and Hamilton compromised on the capital, using his influence over those in congress to give the Southerners a Southern capital, in exchange for Jefferson using his influence over those in congress to get Hamilton's debt plan passed. Thus resulting in more of a debt-free United States and a capital just above Virginia, a southern state. The End. You know my answer is way better, so mark me brainliest, please.

How did the north attempt to control the south during Reconstruction?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Reconstruction (1865-1877), the turbulent era following the Civil War, was the effort to reintegrate Southern states from the Confederacy and 4 million newly-freed people into the United States. Under the administration of President Andrew Johnson in 1865 and 1866, new southern state legislatures passed restrictive “Black Codes” to control the labor and behavior of formerly enslaved people and other African Americans. Outrage in the North over these codes eroded support for the approach known as Presidential Reconstruction and led to the triumph of the more radical wing of the Republican Party. During Radical Reconstruction, which began with the passage of the Reconstruction Act of 1867, newly enfranchised Black people gained a voice in government for the first time in American history, winning election to southern state legislatures and even to the U.S. Congress. In less than a decade, however, reactionary forces—including the Ku Klux Klan—would reverse the changes wrought by Radical Reconstruction in a violent backlash that restored white supremacy in the South.

Why was the death of Emmett Till so controversial?

He was a young child from another state.

His parents were famous.

He had been in trouble with the law before.

He was rumored to be still alive.

Answers

Answer:

He was a young child from another state.

Explanation:

Emmett Till was a young teenage African-American boy from Chicago who was wrongly accused of harassing a white woman. He was murdered and later, his heavily mutilated body was later recovered, to the extent that it was difficult to identify him, if not for his ring.

The case was controversial because of the racial issue, and also because the crime occurred in another state, the state of Mississippi. Till had came to Money in Mississippi to visit relatives where he, one day, was dared by his friends to ask a white woman out as proof to show he has a white girl friend back in Chicago.

Though there was no eye witness to the incident, the white woman, Carolyn Bryant, accused him of touching her and acting inappropriately. Later, Bryant's husband, Roy, and his half-brother went and kidnapped Till, taking him to the river and killing him.

The case became more famous after Till's mother demanded that her mutilated son's body be shown to everyone by having an open-casket funeral. This event also sparked an interest in hate crime and helped launch the civil rights movement in America.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

If it runs with a velocity of -3 m/s for 3 seconds and then a velocity of 2 m/s for 4 seconds, what is it's displacement?

Answers

Answer:

The displacement from the given data is 17 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity, u = -3 m/s

time of motion, t = 3 s

final velocity, v = 2 m/s

time of motion, t = 4 s

The initial position is calculated as follows;

x₁ = ut

x₁ = -3 x 3

x₁ = -9 m

The final position is calculated as follows;

x₂ = vt

x₂ = 2 x 4

x₂ = 8 m

The displacement is calculated as follows;

Δx = x₂ - x₁

Δx = 8 m - (-9m)

Δx = 8m + 9m

Δx =  17 m

Therefore, the displacement from the given data is 17 m.
