History

Answer:

If you recall your World War II history, the United States and the Soviet Union were allies during the war. Together, these nations and others brought about the downfall of Hitler's Third Reich. When the war ended in 1945, these two countries emerged as world super powers. Herein lies the roots of the Cold War.  A superpower is a state with a dominant position characterized by its extensive ability to exert influence or project power on a global scale. This is done through the combined means of economic, military, technological and cultural strength as well as diplomatic and soft power influence. Traditionally, superpowers are preeminent among the great powers.

The term was first applied post World War II to the United States and the Soviet Union. For the duration of the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union dominated world affairs. At the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, only the United States appeared to be a superpower. Alice Lyman Miller defines a superpower as "a country that has the capacity to project dominating power and influence anywhere in the world, and sometimes, in more than one region of the globe at a time, and so may plausibly attain the status of global hegemony". Few countries have the potential to become superpowers; China is now considered an economic superpower, but it arguably lacks several factors including military and soft power to be widely recognized as a global superpower.

The Constitution spells out_______ -those powers that belong to the federal government alone. What goes in the blank??
svlad2 [7]
<h2>"Expressed powers" or "enumerated powers."</h2>

Enumerated powers are those powers specifically granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution.

Enumerated powers include such things as the power to coin/print money, the power to establish and impose tariffs, and the power to regulated trade with foreign nations and trade/commerce between states.

Strict constructionists and loose constructionists differ over whether the government's powers should be limited to those specifically enumerated powers.  Strict constructionists read the Constitution as giving the federal government only those specifically delegated powers.  Loose constructionists argue that anything not specifically forbidden by the constitution can be within the window of what the government needs to do in adapting to the needs of time and circumstances.

Upton Sinclair's The Jungle impacted the passage of the A) Twentieth Amendment. B) Eighteenth Amendment. Eliminate C) Nineteenth
Reil [10]

Answer:

D) Meat Inspection Act in 1906.

Explanation:

Upton Sinclair's book <em>The Jungle</em> was a fictional book about the experience of immigrants working in the meatpacking industry in Chicago. Even though this book was fictional, many of the details about working conditions and  the unsanitary ways of the meatpacking industry were factualy. This book outlined the lack of cleanliness and disgusting habits of the meatpacking industry, including rats within some of the meat they sold to the American public.

This book caused outrage amongst American citizens. President Teddy Roosevelt responded to this book and its content by passing the Meat Inspection Act. This resulted in government regulation of this industry and a set of sanitary standards that busineses must meet.
