The quote "The United States in Congress assembled shall never engage in a war, not grant letters of marque or reprisal in a time of peace, nor enter into any treaties or alliances, unless nine states assent to the same" reflects the principle of federalism. The correct answer is A.
Answer:
The answer is:
D. US troops, following orders from President Polk, claimed an area of disputed land for the United States which caused an attack by Mexico in retaliation
Explanation:
The major cause of the war was actually the annexation of Texas by the US in 1845. Among tensions, skirmishes and a failed diplomatic mission, president Polk ordered American troops commanded by Gen. Zachary Taylor to occupy the disputed zone between Río Nueces and Río Grande (Río Bravo for Mexicans) in January 1846. Taylor´s men were attacked by Mexican troops in April killing or injuring 16 of them. Polk claimed Mexican soldiers had attacked US troops and "shed American blood upon American soil." He requested a declaration of war. Congress overwhelmingly voted to declare war on Mexico on May 13, 1846.
A market economy has several aspects that characterize it. It is very rare that all of these aspects are realized completely.
1) In this type of economy the government doesn't intervene.
2) Resources are privately owned. Goods and services are given by the individuals.
3) There has to be freedom of choice to buy and sell whatever the people want. Freedom of enterprise to start any business you want.
4) Every entrepreneur sees for himself and looks to maximize their profit. They act on self interest.
5) Competition is very important for a market economy to work. <u>In theory</u>, when there's competition the market will regulate itself preventing price and power abuses and guaranteeing the best price for the costumer.
