Hello,  Morgansheridonolson

I'd like to thank you for using ! We all love to help out when we have a chance.

I was reading over the question and noticed the word "union" at the end of the sentence, what the speaker is saying is that they formed this union over with his group of people. And with that group they were able to do something that's possibly political, keep in mind they talk about race in the speech too. I believe the answer would be C, Voting for all blacks. I'd like you to read over again and hear this part "it was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens. The speaker is implying that they are not black and says things about the whites.

Again,  Morgansheridonolson, thanks for being able to use .

Have an amazing day,

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.  

the correct answer is:   "   3.6 % " .

          →   the unemployment rate is:   " 3.6 % " .

explanation:

to calculate the "unemployment rate" :

the "unemployment rate"   =

  [# of people unemployed] /   [working age population]   * 100 %   ;

                =   [9 million] / [250 million]     *   100 % ;

    →     note:   the units of "million" cancel out;

                    since:   " {million} / {million} = 1 " ;

                =   (9 / 250)   * 100 %   ;

                = 0.036 * 100 % ;

                =   3.6 %

answer:   the unemployment rate is:   " 3.6 % " .
