Who was jacob riis, and what impact did his book “how the other half lives” have on the reform movement

Jacob Riis was an American reformer and muck raking journalist. He exposed the horrid conditions that immigrants and the poor were forced to endure in rapidly industrializing cities. He supported increased social programs for the poor and expansion of social welfare programs. His work brought more attention to the plight of the poor, fueled the creation of more services during the Progressive Era for the poor and inaugurated the use of photojournalism as a tool in addressing social ills.

im not sure its either a leader of a group of congresspeople or a person from a congressmans district

sorry im not sure

both are true, the congress does have the power to create banks, even if this power is not specifically described in the constitution, since there is nothing restricting it and there is power given to the congress to make "all laws which shall be necessary and proper". maryland was not allowed to tax a branch of the national bank operating there, and the supreme court decided that no state could. both of these topics were discussed in a decision of the mcculloch v. maryland case in 1819.
