The confirmation rate of presidential circuit court appointments has plummeted from above 90 percent in the late 1970s and early 1980s to around 50 percent in recent years.”

1. Define the word import and use it in a sentence about Texas in the 1830s.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Answers

Answer:

1. Definition:

The verb form of the word "import" means to bring goods or services into a country from another country.  The noun form can mean the goods or services that are so brought from another country.  The ordinary meaning is the "essence" or "meaning" of a statement or an action.  But for our purpose here, imports refer to goods and services brought in from another country and the accompanying action.

2. Usage of the word "import" in a sentence, especially about Texas in the 1830s:

'Texas served as the center of Mexican imports before the 1830s, but this was disrupted in 1846 following the American blockade of Mexican ports mainly located in Texas.'  This blockade made it difficult for Mexico to import goods through Texan ports.  It also affected its ability to fight the war that erupted in 1846 and helped to end Mexico's control of the US-annexed Texas.

Explanation:

Before gaining some period of independence in the 1830s, Texas was part of Mexico.  However, Mexico lost Texas to the US following the war between the two neighbors.  Political and financial instability hampered Mexico's ability to prosecute the war with America, worsened by the blockade of Mexican ports in Texas.

Answers

Answer: created more products to choose from.

With the Industrial Revolution, consumers benefited significantly. The offer has become significantly more abundant and diverse. The introduction of machines into production significantly accelerated industrial production. Also, trade is expanding as road and rail infrastructure is being built. Goods are also significantly cheaper because they were produced faster, and machine production in the case of, for example, textile production saved significantly on materials.

2. Why Bengali is called mixed origin- Explain with your logic
3. What is the impact of the Sena Dynasty, Pala Dynasty, and Mughal emperor in Bangladesh?

Answers

Answer: Yes, they are.

Explanation:

Bengalis are an Indic Aryan ethnolinguistic people who belong to Bengal or Green Delta, comprising mostly of Bangladesh and also of India's West Bengal and Karimganj. About more than 45% (lowest from Anglo-mixed) to 100% (highest from BD Sylheti) ancestry of a Bengali is Aryan. The Aryans settled in the Delta in about 750 BC. They were already mixed, with Bactro-Margianan (of BMAC), Harappan (of IVC) and Dravir/ Dravidian (formerly of BRWC, now only South India) genetic contribution. About 0% (lowest from Rohingyas) to 45% (highest from WB Dravir-mixed) ancestry of Bengalis are derived from Dravirs and Harappans. Speaking of Dravirs, they themselves are a mixture of mainly non-Aryan Iranians (60-100%) and some Adivasis (Australoid; 0-40%). Bengalis also derive about 5-less than 10% from East Asians (including SE Asians). This is the genetic heritage of Bengalis who mainly have R1a YDna haplogroup along with some O and H and R2. MtDna is mainly of U and M. This makes Bengalis (+Sylheti+Rohingya) most closely related to Maldivians, Sinhalese, Assamese and other B-A people.

Speaking of Palas, Senas, Turko-Mongol Mughals, the Pala and Sena were Bengali and Kannar respectively. Senas may have contributed some Dravir gene to WB people. But the Arabs, Persians, Turks (not Turkish) and Mongols (including Mughals) also contributed to Bengali gene, specifically the Bengali Muslim gene in BD. They have given 0 (in WB Muslims) to 10% (in Sylhetis) to BM. They are included among Aryan gene sometimes due to Persians being Aryans and Turko-Mongols being influenced both genetically and culturally by Aryan Iranians. As Persians are West Asian, Arabs are also mistaken. Anyways, they also contributed the J paternal haplogroup gene to Bengali(Muslim)s.

Question :
Which group migrated to Texas to escape famine?
A) Irish immigrants
B) free African Americans
C) migrants from eastern United States
D) immigrants from Mexico

Answers

Answer:

Irish Immigrants

Irish immigrants migrated to Texas to escape famine. The correct option is a.

What did the potato famine make the Irish people do?

The Potato Famine killed more than 1 million people in five years and generated great bitterness and anger at the British for providing too little help to their Irish subjects. The immigrants who reached America settled in Boston, New York, and other cities where they lived in difficult conditions.

More than 1.5 million adults and children left Ireland between 1845 and 1855 to seek refuge in America. Many were desperately poor, and many were suffering from starvation and disease. The disease had devastated Ireland’s potato crops, leaving millions without food.

A major cause of Irish poverty was that more and more people were competing for land. Ireland was not industrialized. The few industries that had been established were failing. The fisheries were undeveloped, and some fishermen could not even buy enough salt to preserve their catch. And there was no agricultural industry.

According to the author, Ronald Takaki, what originally separated the racial

groups?

Answers

Answer:

What originally separated racial groups were the similar physical characteristics between members.

Explanation:

Takaki claims that originally racial groups were separated and established by the physical characteristics they had in common with each other. Thus, individuals who had the same skin color, the same eye shape and other similar physical characteristics, were grouped into a single racial group. Currently this type of separation is no longer possible, because the physical characteristics between people are no longer as defined and specific, since the interaction between races, promoted individuals who have characteristics of all of them.

The United States developed the world’s first modern mass democracy and celebrate a new national culture. In what ways does he highlight the impact of this new system on the American people and others watching and learning about what was happening in America?

Answers

Answer:

I found this.. does it help u?

Explanation:

I. The nation's transformation to a more participatory democracy was accompanied by continued debates over federal power, the relationship between the federal government and the states, the authority of different branches of the federal government, and the rights and responsibilities of individual citizens. (POL-2) (POL-5) (POL-6) (ID-5)

A. As various constituencies and interest groups coalesced and defined their agendas, various political parties, most significantly the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans in the 1790s and the Democrats and Whigs in the 1830s, were created or transformed to reflect and/or promote those agendas.

B. Supreme Court decisions sought to assert federal power over state laws and the primacy of the judiciary in determining the meaning of the Constitution.

Teachers have flexibility to use examples such as the following: •McCulloch v. Maryland, Worcester v. Georgia

C. With the acceleration of a national and international market economy, Americans debated the scope of government's role in the economy, while diverging economic systems meant that regional political and economic loyalties often continued to overshadow national concerns. • New England opposition to the Embargo Act, Debates over the tariff and internal improvements

D. Many white Americans in the South asserted their regional identity through pride in the institution of slavery, insisting that the federal government should defend that institution.

II. Concurrent with an increasing international exchange of goods and ideas, larger numbers of Americans began struggling with how to match democratic political ideals to political institutions and social realities. (CUL-2) (POL-3) (POL-6) (WOR-2)

A. The Second Great Awakening, liberal social ideas from abroad, and Romantic beliefs in human perfectibility fostered the rise of voluntary organizations to promote religious and secular reforms, including abolition and women's rights.

Teachers have flexibility to use examples such as the following: • Charles G. Finney, Seneca Falls convention, Utopian communities

B. Despite the outlawing of the international slave trade, the rise in the number of free African Americans in both the North and the South, and widespread discussion of various emancipation plans, the United States and many state governments continued to restrict African Americans' citizenship possibilities. • American Colonization Society, Frederick Douglass

C. Resistance to initiatives for democracy and inclusion included proslavery arguments, rising xenophobia, anti-black sentiments in political and popular culture, and restrictive anti-Indian policies.

III. While Americans celebrated their nation's progress toward a unified new national culture that blended Old World forms with New World ideas, various groups of the nation's inhabitants developed distinctive cultures of their own. (ID-1) (ID-2) (ID-5) (CUL-2) (CUL-5)

A. A new national culture emerged, with various Americans creating art, architecture, and literature that combined European forms with local and regional cultural sensibilities. • the Hudson River School, John James Audubon

B. Various groups of American Indians, women, and religious followers developed cultures reflecting their interests and experiences, as did regional groups and an emerging urban middle class.

C. Enslaved and free African Americans, isolated at the bottom of the social hierarchy, created communities and strategies to protect their dignity and their family structures, even as some launched abolitionist and reform movements aimed at changing their status.

Teachers have flexibility to use examples such as the following: • Richard Allen, David Walker, Slave music
