It's tough isn't it? Clearly your choices have nothing to do with the notes you have been guided by. If that is all you have, this question should be thrown out. You are told that D is not implied at all. It is a specific responsibility of Congress. Congress cannot declare war. Read FDRs wonderful speech after Pearl Harbor. He mentions clearly that his declaration of war will be seconded by both houses. The only one of I'm uncertain of is C, but if the President doesn't do it and the judiciary can't (they can't make laws; they can only strike down those that are unconstitutional), then there is only the Legislative body can and the power is not implied. It is in article 1 section 8 and it is not implied at all. Congress writes the tax laws. The power comes from Article 1 Section 8 again.
We come to the only answer left B. There has to be some uniform way of collecting taxes. The answer is B, but it is not at all obvious. Article 1 Section 9 is called the elastic clause, because it is the loophole allowing Congress to give itself powers that the constitution does not mention. This is an instance where Art 1 sec 9 was used.
It is a very poor question. You have to do a lot of googling to find out which answer is correct.
Answer:
O Had lost half the land they held in 1881.
Explanation:
The Dawes Act of 1887 was passed by the government of the United States to make native Indians more included in the government and also to possibly open their lands for more white settlers. This law requires the Indian lands to be individualized and distributed among the owners.
What this law led to was that the Indians refused to give up their lands. Moreover, to be included in the citizenship of the nation, they had to 'offer' their lands. This means that only those who accepted the individual plots were granted citizenship, thereby excluding the majority of the American Indians. This resulted in the loss of half of the lands that they had held in 1881.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
European nations staked claims on paper while tribes claimed the ground itself, but the border remained a work in progress, an imaginary line, until troops clashed and treaties settled the question.
In 1849, after the Mexican-American War, the United States sent teams of surveyors, soldiers and laborers to mark this new line in the desert, which sounded simple but proved difficult. The teams struggled as the Southwest seethed with conflict.
A line had been drawn, but the border was far from settled.
The correct answer is C. Communists and non-communists.
The Soviet Union and its satellite states and united states and its allies were the ones who involved in cold war.
During the cold war the United states and Soviet union did not battle directly. The cold war started when ideological, geographical, and economic struggle which was between the Soviet Union and United States allies.
It lasted for years and it ended when the Soviet Union had a dissolution.
Under the terms of the treaty negotiated there, the Seminoles were forced to place themselves under the protection of the United States and to give up all claim to lands in Florida, in exchange for a reservation of about four million acres (16,000 km²).
