TIMED PLEASE HURRY. Read the excerpt from William Seward’s The Building of the Erie Canal.
The public debt for canals in 1825 amounted to seven and a half million dollars—all of which, it must be recorded to the honor of the State and the country, had been borrowed of American capitalists—and the annual interest thereon, to three hundred seventy-six thousand dollars. The Governor estimated that the tolls for the year would exceed three hundred ten thousand dollars; that the duties on salt would amount to one hundred thousand dollars, and that these, with the other income of the canal fund, would produce a revenue exceeding, by three hundred thousand dollars, the interest on the canal debt. He stated also that ten thousand boats had passed the junction of the canals near tide-water during the previous season. Remarking that the creative power of internal improvement was manifested in the flourishing villages which had sprung up or been extended; in the increase of towns; and, above all, in the prosperity of the city of New York. And noticing the fact that three thousand buildings had been erected in that city during the preceding year, Clinton predicted that in fifteen years its population would be doubled, and that in thirty years that metropolis would be the third city in the civilized world, and the second, if not the first, in commerce.
How were large public works such as canals paid for in the early 1800s?
through public funding
by wealthy individual investors
through private banks
by trust shareholders
Answer: through public funding
Explanation:
At the time the Erie Canal was built, it was the second longest in the world and established New York's position as a great trading city when it connected the Atlantic ocean to the Great Lakes thereby making goods easier to transport.
From the text it would appear that canals such as the Erie were built through public funding which the State got by borrowing from American capitalists whom they would then have to pay back with interest.
Answer:
Through public funding
Explanation:
In the passage it states, "...had been borrowed of American capitalists-and the annual interest..." The American people were capitalists and indirectly funded for public works through taxes :)

Answer:
D. Unfunded mandate.
Explanation:
An unfunded mandate is one where states are required and expected to perform certain duties without any provision of financial support from the federal government. This federal regulation or statute expects states or local bodies to execute certain actions but also provides no monetary support to them for the very act.
Unfunded mandates are majorly controversial or unfair in that companies or states are expected to do certain work but not be refunded or supported. This means there is no aspect of help, like working under someone's orders but spending one's own money.
Answer:
unfunded mandate

How did popular sovereignty reemerge as a definitive concept in the debates on slavery in new and existing states?
Answer:
The concept of popular sovereignty implies the theory by which the citizens of a certain nation, state or city are those who have the power to decide regarding the political destinies of the territory in which they live, and that in any case the politicians, who are elected by these citizens, they must represent the will of their voters as faithfully as possible.
This concept took hold again during the debates regarding the legality of slavery in the United States in the mid-1800s, where the Democrats pushed the defense of this concept while the Whigs and later the Republicans wanted the legality of slavery to be determined by the federal Congress. Thus, in places like Kansas this situation generated confrontations between abolitionists and slavers, in the famous Bleeding Kansas.

Barley was the first grain to be cultivated by the ancient Egyptians. There is ample evidence that barley was baked into loaves that were fermented to make beer. There is, however, no indication that Egyptians of that period ever ate loaves of barley or that they cooked barley to make any other food. Since the possibility that they consumed barley raw can be safely dismissed, it seems probable that at one period the ancient Egyptians consumed cultivated grain in the form of beer only.In the argument given, the two highlighted portions play which of the following roles?A) The first introduces the circumstance, the explanation of which is at issue in the argument; the second is an assumption that is explicitly made in drawing the conclusion of the argument.B) The first introduces the circumstance, the explanation of which is at issue in the argument; the second is evidence that was used to support a position to which the argument is opposed.C) The first provides evidence to support the main conclusion; the second introduces a phenomenon that the argument seeks to explain.D) The first provides evidence to support the main conclusion; the second states a hypothesis that the argument as a whole seeks to refute.E) The first provides evidence to support the main conclusion; the second is a statement that is explicitly rejected in drawing that conclusion.
