What are 3 positive things immigrants can bring to the United States?
Answer:
1. Immigrants Are Job and Wealth Creators:
In 2017, immigrants in the United States paid $405.4 billion in taxes, including $125.1 billion in state and local taxes, and $280.3 billion in federal taxes. Additionally, the United States has over three million immigrant entrepreneurs; and their risk-taking, creativity, and hard work benefit the country in massive ways. For example, in 2007 alone, immigrant-owned businesses created nearly 6 million jobs for native-born Americans. Today, nearly half of all U.S. Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants and their children.
2. Immigrants Are Drivers of Social and Cultural Advancement:
Immigrants have contributed so much to our society and culture across the board. Take music: today, the United States has nearly 23,000 professional immigrant musicians. Or film: immigrants make up more than one in eight workers in the movie industry. Or scientific advancement: A quarter of U.S. patents included at least one non-citizen inventor in 2007, and more than a third—33 of 85—of America’s nobel prize laureates in science have been immigrants. From science and technology, to music and sport, immigrants’ contributions to the rich and diverse cultural fabric of America are endless.
3. Immigrants are change makers:
There are fourteen foreign-born voting members of America’s 116th Congress. Those representatives, born as far afield as Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Japan, India, Taiwan, Poland, Ecuador, Vietnam, Somalia, Cuba, and Guatemala, are but one demonstration of the work that immigrants do every day to drive change in and give back to our communities. In 2019, immigrants made up 20 percent of Forbes’s Class of 30 under 30. As a matter of fact, young immigrants change makers in particular have been contributing so much to our communities that Forbes started its own 30 under 30 Immigrants. From political leaders and community organizers to artists and small business owners, immigrants play a vital role in building and strengthening our social cohesion.

“Our purpose is to grant both to the Christians and to all others full authority to follow whatever worship each person has desired ... Therefore we thought it ... most proper to establish our purpose that no person whatever should be refused complete toleration1 ...” — Edict of Milan, AD 313
The Edict of Milan was issued during the reign of Constantine the Great. It marked a turning point for Christians living in the Roman Empire. Consider what you know about the Edict of Milan and its impact on people living in Roman territories. Why do you think Constantine signed this edict? Look up the US Constitution. Explain how the Edict of Milan compares to the way the US Constitution addresses religion?
The impact that this edict would have on the people at the time is that it would give them the right to the freedom of worship or religion at the time.
The reason why the edict was signedThe edict was signed by Constantine to show the people living there that the government of the day was tolerant and they were indifferent about the religions that people chose to have in the area.
The way that this can be compared to the United States constitution is that the constitution establishes that the people have a right to their own religion and that the government has no right to enforce or make laws that would enforce or prohibit religion in the nation.

Explanation:
The legislative branch makes laws, but the President in the executive branch can veto those laws with a Presidential Veto.
The legislative branch makes laws, but the judicial branch can declare those laws unconstitutional.
The executive branch, through the Federal agencies, has responsibility for day-to-day enforcement and administration of Federal laws. These Federal departments and agencies have missions and responsibilities that vary widely, from environmental protection to protecting the Nation’s borders.
The judicial branch interprets laws, but the President nominates Supreme Court justices, court of appeals judges, and district court judges who make the evaluations.
The judicial branch interprets laws, but the Senate in the legislative branch confirms the President’s nominations for judicial positions, and Congress can impeach any of those judges and remove them from office.

A( It reduced the spread of slavery.
B( It helped to prevent the Civil War.
C( It led to the construction of roads and canals.
D( It led to the formation of the Northern Confederacy, breaking apart the United States.

B cannot be the correct answer because the purchase strengthened the U.S. but didn't help prevent the Civil war.

Part 2:
Thoreau’s ideas had a profound effect on a man named Gandhi. Gandhi, was a leader in India who worked to end British rule. He led India to independence and inspired many to non-violent forms of protest and resistance. He fought to end poverty, worked to expand women's right to vote, and built bridges between ethnic and religious groups. Like Thoreau, he lived simply, owned very little, and ate a vegetarian diet. In India, Gandhi's form of protest was called the "non-cooperation movement." He urged Indians to boycott British education systems and leave government jobs. The movement was very popular, and in part to stop its spread, the British controlled government arrested him. After a few years, he was released and became active in politics again. He inspired many to follow him on marches to protest various taxes. On one such march, thousands followed him 240 miles over 24 days to the sea to protest a salt tax. This march set the example of non-violent resistance to the government that others in the country followed. Eventually India won independence from Britain, in large part because of Gandhi work.
Gandhi's model of resistance and reform was creative, appealing, and successful. As a result, Dr. Martin Luther King looked to Gandhi when the time came to find a way to resist segregation in the South. The lunch counter protests, famous for the passive response to anger, and even violence, aimed to end the separation enforced by laws in some regions of the South. King also organized walks, marches, and bus rides that were meant to bring attention to the issues facing African Americans. These forms of protest were directly modeled on Gandhi's, but King took them straight to the source of oppression. Where Gandhi's protests created awareness and built momentum, King's protests were in the face of great hatred and fear. The passive, non-violent protests were ultimately effective, mainly because the passive response to violence cast the opposition as brutes. However, change came slowly and at the cost of many lives. King remained committed to peaceful protest, however, until his death. King learned from Gandhi, expanding on what worked, applying old techniques to a new problem. Gandhi owed his philosophy, in part, to a New England poet who loved the woods.

Describe three economic factors that were involved in the choices made by Brazilians to abandon ethanol powered automobiles after the mid-1980s. Why have many Brazilians recently returned to ethanol powered cars? (Site 1) Use your own words.
Answer:
Brazilians abandoned ethanol powered automobiles after the mid-1980s due to three primary economic factors. Firstly, the cost of ethanol production became increasingly expensive, leading to higher prices for ethanol fuel. Secondly, the price of gasoline in Brazil decreased, making gasoline a cheaper and more viable alternative fuel option. Finally, Brazil's economy faced a major recession in the 1980s, causing financial strain for many Brazilians, which made them opt for cheaper gasoline cars rather than ethanol-powered cars.
Many Brazilians have recently returned to ethanol-powered cars due to changing economic factors. Oil prices have risen, making gasoline more expensive, while ethanol prices have decreased as Brazil's ethanol industry has become more efficient. Additionally, ethanol-powered cars have become more economical, and the government has put in place financial incentives for the use of ethanol as an alternative fuel source. These factors have made ethanol-powered cars more appealing and cost-effective to many Brazilians.
