The following excerpt was written in 1882: "[F]rom and after the expiration of ninety days next after the passage of this act, and until the expiration of ten years next after the passage of this act, the coming of Chinese laborers to the United States be, and the same is hereby, suspended; and during such suspension it shall not be lawful for any Chinese laborer to come, or having so come after the expiration of said ninety days to remain within the United States." What did the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act reflect about American society in the late 1800s

The effect that Nativism had on American immigration policy

Explanation:

President Chester A. Arthur signed the Chinese Exclusion act in 1882. This was motivated by the fact that there was an influx of Chinese immigrants into the United States. These immigrants, mostly males provided cheap labor in the United States. It was the first law that prohibited people from a particular ethnic group from coming into the U.S.

The law was only for immigrant Chinese laborers because teachers, students, and other categories of people who were not laborers could still come into the United States. That law was a reflection of the nativism so inherent in the American Immigration policy. The Magnuson Act of 1943, was to later repeal the Exclusion Act.

the main concern with the first draft of the articles of confederation was too much power in the state governments.
