    How did the Convention agree to have Senators selected?という質問がありました。 The Convention soon moved toward appointment by state legislatures, a move opposed by Madison and Hamilton, who wanted to weaken the state legislatures. But to their dismay, in the end the Convention settled on equal representation of each state in the Senate with each state’s legislators choosing its Senators. This meant that the Senate didn’t just represent the states as political bodies, but that it literally represented the state legislatures. The House belonged to the people; the Senate belonged to their state governments. 回答はここに出てくる「in the end the Convention settled on equal representation of each state in the Senate with each state’s legislators choosing its Senators. 」 からの文章をそのまま引用して  The convention settled on equal representation of each state in the Senate with each state's legislators choosing its Senators. でいいでしょうか? よろしくお願いします。

    When designing Congress, what kind of representation did the small states want? What kind did the big states want? という質問に対して該当する文章を探しています。 As the country developed a stronger sense of national identity after the Civil War, and as claims of corruption in the selection of Senators grew, the demand for direct election of Senators grew. This was finally achieved with the 17th amendment in 1913. A minority of people still argue that this amendment was a mistake, and that an important check on the federal government was lost when the state legislatures’ representation in Congress was eliminated. But even though the state legislatures are no longer directly represented in the Senate, each state still has equal representation, and are so are still represented as distinct political bodies: Wyoming’s less than 600,000 people and California’s 40 million people have the same voice. Some people argue that this is undemocratic, and see the Senate as illegitimate, while others see it as important to ensure the small states are not dominated by a handful of big states. こちらの文章の1段落目を参考にしたのですが、 質問に対して、small stateは州議会の議論を求めている。ということでいいでしょうか? そして2段落目では、big stateはsmall stateが数の少ないbig stateを支配しないことを求めている。 ということでいいでしょうか?

    When designing Congress, what kind of representation did the small states want? What kind did the big states want? という質問に対して該当する文章を探しています。 自分でもいらないと思う箇所は切って、だいぶ短くしたつもりですが、それでもかなり長いので質問を分けさせていただきました。 (その2では同じ質問に対して他の文章を引用しています。だいぶ英文が長くなりそうだったので2つに分けさせていただきました。ややこしくてすみません。) But defining the structure of Congress was by far the bitterest fight in the Convention, pitting the large states against the small, and bringing them almost to the point of breaking up. The Confederation Congress was unicameral and each state had an equal vote. The Virginia Plan proposed to create a bicameral legislature, and to eliminate equal representation of states by giving each a number of representatives proportional to their population. Madison believed that the states’ obsession with their own local interests were the cause of the union’s problems, and believed that the new government had to represent the people of the United States to limit the bad influence of the states. <しかしsmall stateはアメリカの4大州だけで人口の大部分を占めていることを指摘した。> In response a large state delegate noted that there were more small than large states, so if they stuck with equal representation the small ones could oppress the larger. ** <>内は自分で訳せたので英文を省きました。 ・つまりバージニア計画では2つの立法府を創設し、それぞれに人口に比例した多数の代表者を与えることによって、州の平等な代表をなくす、という計画だったが、small stateはそれに反対した。 big(large) stateとは人口数がかなり異なるため。 in response以降なのですが、「それに答えて(対抗して)large stateは~」ということだと思うのですが、 ここではどういうことが言われているのでしょうか? ・自分の要約があっているか ・in response以降を簡単で結構ですので訳して欲しいです。 よろしくお願いします。

    What amendment changed the selection of Senators, when did that happen, and how are Senators now selected? という質問に対し、答えになりそうな箇所を探しました。 (参考にしたのは1段落目だけです。特に必要なければ2段落目は読んでいただかなくて大丈夫です。) As the country developed a stronger sense of national identity after the Civil War, and as claims of corruption in the selection of Senators grew, the demand for direct election of Senators grew. This was finally achieved with the 17th amendment in 1913. A minority of people still argue that this amendment was a mistake, and that an important check on the federal government was lost when the state legislatures’ representation in Congress was eliminated. But even though the state legislatures are no longer directly represented in the Senate, each state still has equal representation, and are so are still represented as distinct political bodies: Wyoming’s less than 600,000 people and California’s 40 million people have the same voice. Some people argue that this is undemocratic, and see the Senate as illegitimate, while others see it as important to ensure the small states are not dominated by a handful of big states. 答えは 「上院議員の直接選挙の要求が高まり、1913年の第17回改正で変更された。」 The demand for senators' direct elections has risen and it was changed in the 17th amendment in 1913. でいいでしょうか? よろしくお願いします。

    What kind of internal problems did the United States face after the war? という質問があるのですが、下記の情報をもとに答えを導き出しました。 (英文が長くてすみません)(( )) 後の文章から参考にしました。2段落目だけではわかりづらいと思ったので入れました。関係ないようでしたら、適当に飛ばしていただいて大丈夫です。 ((The intervention of the French with financial and material support tipped the balance and won the war, but as Hamilton had predicted, the Articles were unfit for maintaining the union in peacetime as well as war. The Confederation Congress had, despite its lack of authority to do so, borrowed money, particular from the French, to fight the way, but without the power to tax they could only beg the states to contribute to paying off the war debt, a burden the states preferred to shirk. )) Economic conflicts abounded. Each state coined its own money, hindering the efficiency of trade between them. States put tariffs on each other’s’ goods, further dampening the economic growth many looked for at war’s end. 質問に対する回答なのですが、 (各州は貿易を阻害したり、自国の資金を調達したりした。そのため戦争後は経済成長が鈍化した。) ⇨ Each state hindered trade and raised its own funds. As a result, economic growth has slowed down after the war. でいいでしょうか? 質問文が長くてすみません。 よろしくお願いします。

    The States' Rights Democratic Party was a short-lived segregationist political party in the United States. It originated in 1948 as a breakaway faction of the Democratic Party determined to protect states' rights to legislate racial segregation from what its members regarded as an oppressive federal government. Supporters assumed control of the state Democratic parties in part or in full in several Southern states. The Party opposed racial integration and wanted to retain Jim Crow laws and white supremacy in the face of possible federal intervention. こちらの文を短くして欲しいです。 States' Rights Party (Dixiecrats)について説明している文をまとめてみたのですが、あまりにも長くなってしまいました。 この情報はいらないんじゃない?とか、この単語はもう少し簡単に表現できる、などあれば教えて欲しいです。 よろしくお願いいたします。
