The correct answer is Evaluate the evidence used to support it

They need to examine how valid the evidence is and whether there's bias in the claim as well as in the evidence. As long as these terms are fulfilled, a historic claim can be made valid. Other people can present counterclaims with their own evidence which is when they revise both claims and find what the actual truth is.

Francis Lubbock's actions affected Texas' history when he mobilized a frontier regiment of cavalry to combat a group of Indians. The relationship with the tribes was no good. Lubbock tried to expand the industrial resources to activate the economy. He also sold U.S. bonds that were acquired in 1850, because the treasure vault was depleted. Lubbock considered liable for military service all the men from 16 to 60 years old. After his tenure, he joined the Confederate Army in November 1863.

Francis Richard Lubbock was the governor of Texas from 1861 to 1863.

Answer:

The two themes I choose:

- Separation of Powers

The "Separation of Powers" states that governmental powers are to be evenly split between "x" amount of branches, x being determined by the Founding Fathers. Each of these branches are given a certain power (or job) that they need to do. For example, The Powers were separated and given to 3 branches:

Executive Branch: This branch is has the power to create a bill, as well as veto, line-veto, give ideas on what to change in a bill, create diplomatic relations with countries, ask congress to start wars, set up Judicial Judges.

Legislative Branch: This branch has the power to create bills, pass the bill, declare war, regulate commerce, control taxation and spending policies, veto or approve Judicial Judges.

Judicial Branch: This branch has the power to impeach Presidents, declare a law or bill as unconstitutional, have the last word on cases that reaches the Supreme Court.

- Checks and Balances

As stated above, there are 3 branches. Each of these branches (I will reiterate what i said) have the powers over the other, so as to not be able to overstep their bounds. Think of it as a triangle, in which they have more power and less power than the others.

Executive Branch:

Powers:

Veto/Pass Bills

Instate Judges

Start relations with other countries

Weakness:

Can be impeached

Veto can be overturned by Congress; Bills passed can be overturned by the Supreme Court

Must ask Congress to start wars if relations turn sour

Legislative Branch:

Powers:

Able to pass laws

Able to declare war

Able to regulate country and foreign commerce

Able to control taxes and how the government spends its funds

Weakness:

Congressmen & women can be replaced

Laws passed can be vetoed/declared unconstitutional

Judicial Branch:

Powers:

Life long term if appointed unless... (which would be put in weakness)

Able to declare laws unconstitutional

Able to have final word in how laws would be interpreted

Weaknesses:

Judges can be replaced

Rulings can be changed if the law is changed later on

The correct answer is B) the clause barring the government from establishing a religion.

The Warren Court ruled that official prayer in public schools is unconstitutional because it violates the clause barring the government from establishing a religion.

We are referring to the case Engel v. Vitale that started on April 3, 1962, and ended on June 25, 1962. The Supreme Court decision was that it was unconstitutional to have an official prayer in school and asked to say it aloud in the public school premises. Chief Justice Eral Warren considered that this violated the Establishment Clause of the 1st Amendment.
