The correct answer is - Passive.

The passive continental margins are transitional zones between the oceanic and continental crust, lithosphere, and it is not an active plate margin. This type of margins form from sedimentation over an ancient rift, which has now become a transitional lithosphere. This type of margins can be found further away from the ocean ridges, but also away from the active continental margins. The east coast of North America is a nice example of a passive continental margin. It has all the characteristics of it. It is made out of sediments, it is a transitional zone between continental and oceanic lithosphere, it is far away from the mid-ocean ridge from one side, and the active continental margins on the other side.

Which development in the 20th century most reflects the increasing power of the president ?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

C. Presidents have more frequently used military force without congressional declarations of war.

Explanation:

The framers did not give much attention to the Executive Branch in the Constitutional Convention of 1787. During that time there was a reluctance to concede much power to the federal government, they wanted to give states independence.

Along with the years of the nation’s Constitution, more power was given to the executive branch, President Lincoln, for example, signed an executive order that suspended the write of habeas corpus, President FDR got the Congress to pass a major program that increased the size and scope of Executive Branch agencies and signed the Executive Order 8381 that created the classification of information which allowed the Executive Branch to limit certain information to the public.

George W. Bush also signed the USA Patriot Act into law and gave major authority to the executive branch.
