Which defines an amendment?
A: a change to a constitution
B: a rejection of a proposed bill
C: a vote on accepting a constitution
D: an override of a veto
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
A. A change to a constitution
Answer:
its d
Explanation:
The power of the President to refuse to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevent its enactment into law is the veto. The president has ten days (excluding Sundays) to sign a bill passed by Congress. A regular veto occurs when the President returns the legislation to the house in which it originated, usually with a message explaining the rationale for the veto. This veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House. If this occurs, the bill becomes law over the President's objections. A pocket veto occurs when Congress adjourns during the ten-day period. The president cannot return the bill to Congress. The president's decision not to sign the legislation is a pocket veto and Congress does not have the opportunity to override.

B.
An economic boom.
C.
A rise in suburbs
D.
All the above
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ All \ of \ the \ above}}[/tex]
Explanation:
Prior to World War II, the United States was amid a severe economic turndown, known as the Great Depression.
The war actually helped lift the country out of recession by boosting jobs and manufacturing to create all the materials needed for war. This propelled the nation into an economic boom.
As soldiers returned home from war and people became hopeful for the economy and future, they began having children. This led to a phenomenon called the baby boom.
More children were born, families grew, and people wanted to settle down. New housing was required, and the perfect location was the suburbs. They were in between the crowded, bustling cities and the remote countryside, plus they attracted people with affordable homes.
So, post-war, the US experienced a baby boom, economic boom, and suburb boom. Therefore, all answer are correct.

How did increasing trade and European contact affect Africans in West Africa?
Answer:
European sailors first reached sub-Saharan Africa in 1442, when Portuguese ships reached the Senegal river. The Portuguese had been sailing the coasts of Morocco and Western Sahara since 1413, when they captured the Moroccan city of Ceuta [still a Spanish city today]. Between 1413 and the 1440s, the Portuguese established several fortified settlements along the Moroccan coast, especially at Arzila, Mogador (now Essaouira), Safi, and Tangier; they retained a strong presence in Morocco until 1578, when the Portuguese King Sebastião I and much of the Portuguese nobility were killed at the Battle of Alcácer-Quibir. By 1471, West African leaders between the coasts of Senegal and Ghana had established commercial and diplomatic connections with Portuguese traders [major early sites of trade and settlement were on the Gambia river, Bugendo on the São Domingos river in Guinea-Bissau, and Sierra Leone].
Explanation:
For the next 150 years, West African rulers and traders came across the Portuguese more than any other European nation. [There were also smaller trading missions led by the English and the French, but these were less frequent]. In the beginning, the Portuguese main motivations were: 1, an interest in the extensive gold production of Bono-Mansu and the Akan states; 2, competition with the Ottoman Empire to access this gold [the Ottomans had captured Constantinople in 1453, prompting a crisis in Christian Europe]; 3, the desire to find a trade route to markets in India around the Cape of Good Hope; 4, ever increasingly, the trade in enslaved persons.
By the 1590s, the Dutch began to rival the Portuguese as the major European trading nation in Africa. Their ships were bigger and better, and the goods they traded with African political leaders were of much higher quality. The Dutch had captured many of the main Portuguese trading stations in West Africa by 1650, especially at Gorée in Senegal (in 1621), at Elmina in Ghana (in 1637), and at Luanda in Angola (in 1641). Initially the Dutch were mainly interested in textiles, animal hides [for the leather industry], and ivory, but by the middle of the 17th century they too turned to slave trading. The Dutch interest in slave trading dates to the 1620s and the capture of half of the Brazilian colonies from the Portuguese. From 1630 to 1654 the Dutch controlled the northern part of Brazil, and the associated sugar plantations which used the labour of enslaved persons; their growing colonial interests drove their interest in slave trading, which took over in the second half of the 18th century.

What is an amendment?An amendment is a formal or official change made to a law, contract, constitution, or other legal documents. It is based on the verb to amend, which means to change for the better.
Amendments can add, remove, or update parts of these agreements. They are often used when it is better to change the document than to write a new one. Only the legislative branch is involved in the amendment process.
One of the most common types of amendment is a simple extension of the terms of a contract. An amendment might change a price or a deadline, correct a misstatement in the document, or address an unforeseen issue. The parts of the contract that are not amended remain in force. Amendments to documents filed with government regulators are common.
For example, when a business changes its name or its ownership, an amendment must be filed with the appropriate government agencies.
