Answer:

The constitutionality of the Act was challenged by states based on two main grounds: 1. The issue of individual mandate; and 2. Mandatory expansion of medicaid by states.

Explanation:

The Affordable Healthcare Act otherwise known as Obamacare was a health reform Act that came into force in 2010 under the Obama administration in the United States of America which made provision for affordable health insurance for every citizen of America, and also expanded the scope of eligibility for medicaid in the United States of America. The constitutionality/legality of the Act was challenged by a total of about 26 states of the United States of America particularly on the ground that the Act imposed sanctions on states which failed to expand the medicaid, and on the ground of individual mandate to purchase health insurance violated the original Clause.

However, concerning the issue of individual mandate to buy health insurance, the Supreme Court of America upheld the constitutionality of the ACA on the ground that the congress has the valid and constitutional power to impose tax.

On the other hand, on the issue of mandatory expansion of medicaid by states, the court stated that it was optional and not mandatory for states to chose to expand the medicaid, thereby declaring the mandatory medicaid expansion by states unconstitutional.

pentagon [3]

Answer: The four words are Emigrant, Independence, Missouri, Prairie Schooner, and Cayuse.

Explanation:

The Great Migration started in 1916 and didn't end until 1970. This was when the African American citizens moved from the Southern states they lived in to the West, Midwest, and the Northeast regions of the United States.

All of the words listed above are related to the Great Migration. In the early days, they rode in prairie schooners to get to their destination.  The Cayuse were resentful of the new settlers and this caused issues at some times during their passage.
