Answer 1

1) Argentina, Brazil, and Chile mediated between the two sides, and an effective agreement was reached.
2) Im actually not so sure on this one: Its main purpose was providing the states with equal representation in the Senate and proportional representation by population in the House of Representatives which would be both a and b so unless you can do both then I think that its c because the 3/5 clause was later adapted
3) I think that it would be the muckrakers
4) It established a policy of equal economic trade for countries that dealt with China.
5) I think that its that Political dominance was maintained in the North at the expense of the South based on the Three-Fifths Clause.
6) He thought that President Taft had failed to continue his policies of progressive reform. The Bull Moose party was known for taking advanced positions on progressive reforms
7) They did do it to escape religious persecution, to seek a better way of life,to find their fortune. I'm not sure that they colonized the Americas just so they could to increase taxes on colonists,to wage war with native tribes or to lose representation in Parliament but they could have,I don't think that its a main reason.
8) I'm pretty sure that its because The amendments constitute the government’s recognition of naturally occurring rights and liberties. People were afraid the new government did not protect the rights of individual people,so they created the Bill of Rights
9)I believe that its because the modern-day southwestern states were acquired before the modern-day midwestern states.
10)Textile workers had been already fighting for better workers rights before the fire, many of the people working in the factory themselves had fought for rights so i think that its that better building safety codes and other worker protections were adopted, because that only happened after the fire and taught many other companies a lesson
Hope this helps! :)
