Question: Why did the Mexicans attack Taylor’s troops?  

<em>Options: </em>

A) They were waiting for American aggressors on their soil so they could kill them.  

B) They had the advantage of a more powerful army.  

C) They wanted Texas returned to them.  

D) They had been provoked by the presence of troops.  

Answer: The correct answer is option <u>D) They had been provoked by the presence of troops.  </u>

Explanation: Not only was Texas a difficult topic between the U.S and Mexico. The United States president, James K. Polk had his eyes on California, New Mexico and the rest of what is today the U.S. Southwest. However, his offer to purchase those lands was rejected so he instigated a fight between Mexico and U.S by moving troops into a disputed zone between the Rio Grande and Nueces River that both countries had already recognized as part of the Mexican state, Coahuila. Due to this, on April 25th, 1846, Mexico attacked a group of U.S. soldiers in the disputed zone under the command of General Zachary Taylor. They killed about a dozen U.S troops.

What conclusion can be drawn from the information in the table?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

D. Partisan conflicts were part of United States history almost from the beginning.

Explanation:

The conclusion that can be drawn from the table is that "Partisan conflicts were part of United States history almost from the beginning."

The above statement is evident from the fact that in each of the issues and events, there exist conflicts between two major groups. And considering the dates of these issues and events, and it can be concluded that it occurred in the early days of the United States of America formation. Hence, option D is correct.

Option A is not correct because while the Federalists favored a strong federal government, they have plans on how to achieve it.

Option B is not correct because there is not enough information or evidence to prove that Republicans occasionally showed a willingness to compromise on states' rights.

The option C is not correct because there is nothing like Washington in the table

What was the challenge that the Framers faced when setting out to write the Constitution?
BartSMP [9]
The major challenge that the framers faced when setting out to write the Constitution was to create a document and a system of government that could be inclusive of all of the perspectives and viewpoints of the delegates and states involved in the convention. For fear of more conflict amongst the states it was necessary to work to create a document that would be a grand compromise of the many competing views.
