The election of 1800 was fiercely contested and facilitated the rise of the two-party system and bitter partisanship.
Upon entering office, Jefferson focused on reducing the national debt he had inherited from his predecessors. His administration lowered excise taxes while slashing government spending. Additionally, the Jefferson administration reduced the size of the Navy, ultimately bringing the national debt down from $83 to $57 million. Foreign developments, however, including the intensification of piracy along the Barbary Coast, would necessitate the rebuilding of the Navy and its establishment as a permanent part of the US government.
Jefferson dealt with two major challenges to US authority: piracy along the Barbary Coast of North Africa, and British impressment, which resulted in Jefferson instating a mass embargo of European goods, the Embargo Act of 1807.
Jefferson authorized the Louisiana Purchase, which effectively doubled the territory of the United States.
Answer:
Because it made him to remember, and feel the loss and pain of Myrtles' death.
Explanation:
Tom describes his feelings to Nick to let him know that he has his own share of the loss. He was reminded of Myrtle, the wife of his mechanic, his symphathetic mistress who was killed by Daisy in a car accident. If Myrtle were to be alive, the box would have not been there.
Earlier before the incident, Tom and Gatsby had exchanged their cars. Daisy alone was driving the car when the accident occurred. But Gatsby tells Nick that Daisy killed Myrtle but he will take the blame.
The answer that is not true is A: "Scott could only sue in state courts."
Whether Dred Scott, as a slave, had any legal right to sue in court was a matter that applied whether talking about state or federal courts. When Scott's suit was rejected by a state of Missouri court, Scott and his supporters managed to bring the case into a federal court, and it went all the way to the Supreme Court. Though the Supreme Court at the time ruled that Scott had no right to bring the suit because he was a slave and not a citizen (point D above), the case gave Chief Justice Roger Taney opportunity to make further statements regarding the slavery issue, including points B and C in your list above.
