Terence powderly, the leader of the knights of labor, supported 1)peaceful negotiations between workers and management. 2)union strikes across the nation. 3)unions for only certain groups of people. 4)greater work productivity among workers.

The correct answer is number 1. Peaceful negotiations between workers and management.

Terence Powderly, leader of the Knights of Labor, supported peaceful negotiations between workers and management.

Terence Powderly (1849-1924) led the Knight of Labor (KOL) from 1879 to 1883. He was an advocated of the rights of workers and saw the Knights of Labor as the way to help workers to demand better working conditions and less working hours. Although in those complicated years of relationship between owners and workers, some people tried to tarnish the KOL, Powderly always supported peaceful negotiations between workers and management.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.  

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40     distribute/multiply - into (2a + 7)

8 - 2a - 7 = a + 40

1 - 2a = a + 40       add 2a on both sides

1 = 3a + 40         subtract 40 on both sides

-39 = 3a       divide 3 on both sides

-13 = a

[proof]

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40

8 - (2(-13) + 7) = -13 + 40

8 - (-26 + 7) = 27

8 - (-19) = 27

8 + 19 = 27

27 = 27
