Cuban Missile Crisis: About how long would it have taken for a missile launched from Cuba to reach New York?

1 answer:

8 0

About 15 minutes or less, as the missiles were ICBM's (intercontinental ballistic missiles) and had/has massive power behind it's impact and launch, essentially devastating the targeted area within minutes from launch. Also is the main reason why the U.S. feared having the missiles in Cuba, and why they fear North Korea having the missiles. Remember to check yourself.
Hope this helps :)

Answer:

D) the sixteenth amendment allowed congress to break up monopolies

Explanation:

The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States (Amendment XVI) allows the United States Congress to tax an income tax without apportioning it among the states according to their population or based on the results of a census. This amendment excluded Income Tax from the constitutional requirements of direct taxes, after taxes on income, dividends and interest were qualified as direct taxes by the Supreme Court ruling in the Pollock case against Farmers' Loan & Trust Co. (1895). It was ratified in February 1913.
