Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  A.

Explanation:

  "The Constitution allows Congress to tax in order to provide for the common defense and general welfare.

Answer 2

A. Taxes pay for many public services that serve and protect citizens.

Explanation:

The Congressional power to tax is very important, it pays for services that serve and protect the citizens.

Before the United States Constitution, there was the Articles of Confederation. The Articles were very weak and gave little power to the national government. The government could not do a lot of things, but one of the most important things was that the national government did not have the ability to tax.

In order to obtain tax money, the national government had to outright ask the states for it. Since they were not obligated to, nobody wanted to pay it. This made it very hard for the government to obtain money to create a military or pay war debts.

The Shay's Rebellion was an eye-opener for many people about how the national government should have the power to tax and more power in general. This was where poor farmers started a rebellion against courts because they did not want their land to be taken away. The government could not do anything about this though, as they had no money to deploy troops to stop them.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

It is 1929 and the misery that had aided the efforts of Weimar’s enemies in the early 20s has been relieved by five years of economic growth and rising incomes. Germany has been admitted to the League of Nations and is once more an accepted member of the international community. Certainly the bitterness at Germany's defeat in the World War I and the humiliation of the Treaty of Versailles had not been forgotten but most Germans appeared to have come to terms with the new Republic and its leaders.

Gustav Stresemann has just died. Germany has, in part, as a result of his efforts become a respected member of the international community again. Stresemann often spoke before the League of Nations. With his French and American counterparts Auguste Briand and Frank Kellog, he had helped negotiate the Paris Peace pact which bore the name of his fellow diplomats Kellog-Briand. Once again Gustav Stresemann had decided to take on the arduous job of leading a battle for a policy he felt was in his nation’s vital interest even though he was tired and ill and knew that the opposition would be stubborn and vitriolic. Stresemann was the major force in negotiating and guiding the Young Plan through a plebiscite. This plan although opposed by those on the right-wing won majority approval and further reduced Germany’s reparations payments.

Explanation:

Why did the Soviet Union want to spread communism to neighboring countries?

To protect its territory

Answers

Answer: D

Relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. The distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the Cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

The United States government was initially hostile to the Soviet leaders for taking Russia out of World War I and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. Although the United States embarked on a famine relief program in the Soviet Union in the early 1920s and American businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the New Economic Policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. By that time, the totalitarian nature of Joseph Stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the West. Although World War II brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward Eastern Europe had created tensions even before the war ended.

The Soviet Union and the United States stayed far apart during the next three decades of superpower conflict and the nuclear and missile arms race. Beginning in the early 1970s, the Soviet regime proclaimed a policy of détente and sought increased economic cooperation and disarmament negotiations with the West. However, the Soviet stance on human rights and its invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 created new tensions between the two countries. These tensions continued to exist until the dramatic democratic changes of 1989–91 led to the collapse during this past year of the Communist system and opened the way for an unprecedented new friendship between the United States and Russia, as well as the other new nations of the former Soviet Union.

A.Oregon
B.Texas
C.California

A. Nueces River
B. Rio Grande
C. San Marcos River

Answers

Answer:

When the USA annexed Texas as a state in 1845, the border between the US and Mexico became a matter of dispute and, ultimately, a cause for war.  Mexico claimed that the border between Texas (as part of US) and Mexico was the Nueces River.  The United States, on the other hand, said the border was the Rio Grande, further south than the Nueces.  

When the war ended with the US victorious, the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo assigned the Rio Grand as the border, from its mouth at the Gulf of Mexico to the point where it reached New Mexico.  (From there the border was assigned according to geographic lines on maps.)

As far as the $15 million payment from the US to Mexico, that was in compensation for the large amounts of territory taken over by the US.  $15 million in 1848 would equal about $420 million in today's dollars.

The Mexican Cession was territory ceded (meaning given up) to the United States in 1848 after the Mexican-American War.  The territory included lands that represent the full states of California, Nevada, and Utah, as well as large portions of  Arizona and New Mexico, and about a quarter of what would become the state of Colorado.  There was also a small section of Wyoming involved.  So that represents the bulk of territory that is in Southwest of the present United States.
