3 0

The partition of Africa (also called, with term less aseptic scramble for Africa, but better known in English as the scramble for Africa, translated into "the elbowing for Africa") was the proliferation of claims on the European African territories between 1880 and the beginning of World War I, the so-called period of the New imperialism.
In the second half of the nineteenth century it took place the transition from imperialism "informal" control through military influence and economic dominance, that of direct rule in the territory. It is in these years the birth of colonial states proper.

Different powers are used throughout the levels of government. Review and match the types of powers to their definition. Questio

kirill115 [55]

Let's match each type of power with its definition

concurrent powers: powers that both national and state governments have/do such as collecting taxes . They refer to those powers which are shared by the different goverment levels existing in the federal structure: at the federal, state, province and local levels.
delegated powers: Powers specifically given to the national government such as establishing post offices. These are also known as enumerated powers and are contained in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States.
denied powers: powers neither the federal or state government have (such as making a law that would prevent the establishment of religion). These are powers which cannot be exercised by any level within a federal goverment, for example, allowing slavery (explicitly forbidden by 13th Amendment) denying voting rights to certain citizens (explicitly condemned in the Voting Rights Act from 1965).
implied powers: powers that are suggested and allowed due to the necessary and proper/elastic clause such as establishing the interstate highway system. These powers are not explicitly included in the US Constitution but can be derived from others than are.
inherent powers: powers that don't have to be given in the Constitution - they are just a part of government, such as protecting the country from attack. These are goverment powers which are not explicitly stated in a Constitution but are implicit in a sovereign state and for its rulers.

The number and scope of the executive orders issued by president have increased dramatically.What does this suggest about the pr

wolverine [178]

The increasing use of executive orders by presidents suggests that presidents have been trying to take more power into their own hands rather than working with Congress to change laws.

In part this is due to difficulties with deep divisions in Congress, which makes cooperation to pass legislation in Congress more and more challenging.

In part it also has to do with presidents seeking greater authority for the executive office. Presidents will tend to do so especially in times of war or other perceived national crisis. Arthur Schlesinger's 1973 book, The Imperial Presidency, looked at how presidential powers, particularly in foreign affairs, tended to be increased by all presidents in wartime. While our Constitution seeks to check and balance powers between the branches of government, the Executive Branch tends to want to streamline execution of plans and programs. Presidents will issue executive orders to get something done in more direct fashion than working through Congress to get it accomplished.
