History

Monica [59]3 years ago

The Articles of Confederation was the first U.S. Constitution, ratified by the 13 original states of the U.S. in 1781. In overall, it was characterized for giving too much power to the states and establishing a government consisting only of a unicameral legislature with limited and clearly delineated powers. This lack of balance made it difficult to lead the nation properly, and some of its weaknesses constituted the following:

  1. <u>Congress could not levy taxes</u>, it could only collect money by selling lands or asking the states for funds, which had the option to deny.
  2. <u>Articles could only be changed by a unanimous vote.</u>
  3. <u>There was no federal court system</u> as we know it today, the Constitution did not establish a federal court system, instead, it gave Congress the power to establish courts, appoint courts for the trial of piracies and felonies committed on the high seas and for determining some cases.
  4. <u>Congress could not regulate trade</u> as this power was granted to the states only.
  5. <u>There was no national executive. </u>Back then, there was not even a President, the government consisted of a Congress only.
  6. <u>Nine states had to approve any new law in Congress</u> meaning that the Congress could not enact any type of legislation or make any change that was not outlined in the Constitution unless nine states approved it.

Correct answer:

<h2>c. an agreement in which an investor loans money to a company or government, and the company or government promises to repay the loan with interest over a period of time. </h2>

Bonds are bought and sold in the bond market  (as opposed to the stock market).  The bond market consists of the government issuing securities to those who lend money for government projects, as well as corporations taking on debt and issuing securities so that they can raise money for projects or expansions.

Why did abortion become a central consideration in the appointment of the surpreme court justices?
Grace [21]

Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), is a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court on the issue of abortion. It was decided simultaneously with a companion case, Doe v. Bolton. The Court ruled 7–2 that a right to privacyunder the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment extended to a woman's decision to have an abortion, but that this right must be balanced against the state's interests in regulating abortions: protecting women's health and protecting the potentiality of human life.[1] Arguing that these state interests became stronger over the course of a pregnancy, the Court resolved this balancing test by tying state regulation of abortion to the third trimester of pregnancy.

Later, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), the Court rejected Roe's trimester framework while affirming its central holding that a woman has a right to abortion until fetal viability.[2] The Roe decision defined "viable" as "potentially able to live outside the mother's womb, albeit with artificial aid."[3] Justices in Casey acknowledged that viability may occur at 23 or 24 weeks, or sometimes even earlier, in light of medical advances.[4]

In disallowing many state and federal restrictions on abortion in the United States,[5][6] Roe v. Wade prompted a national debate that continues today about issues including whether, and to what extent, abortion should be legal, who should decide the legality of abortion, what methods the Supreme Court should use in constitutional adjudication, and what the role should be of religious and moral views in the political sphere. Roe v. Wade reshaped national politics, dividing much of the United States into pro-abortion and anti-abortion camps, while activating grassroots movements on both sides.
