"We have not sought to extend our territorial possessions by conquest, or our republican institutions over a reluctant people. I

t was the deliberate homage of each people to the great principle of our federative union. If we consider the extent of territory involved in the annexation, its prospective influence on America, the means by which it has been accomplished, springing purely from the choice of the people themselves to share the blessings of our union, the history of the world may be challenged to furnish a parallel ... We may rejoice that the tranquil and pervading influence of the American principle of self-government was sufficient to defeat the purposes of British and French interference ... From this example European Governments may learn how vain diplomatic arts and intrigues must ever prove upon this continent against that system of self-government which seems natural to our soil, and which will ever resist foreign interference."—James Polk, from the State of the Union Address, December 2, 1845Polk's State of the Union Address, although celebratory, was a precursor to__________.

Answer:

The only good choice here is:

D. increased South American expansion in the name of cultural superiority.

Explanation:

The Mexican-American War, whose spark was a dispute over the boundaries of Texas - which had already been annexed by the American Union - would start very soon after the date of this speech. It lasted two years, 1846-1848. As a result of Mexican humilliating defeat, it lost vast territories and the US doubled its size, fulfilling the Manifest Destiny of continental-wide territorial expansion, reaching even the shores of California in the west.

Which phrase describes a compromise that was required for the Constitution to be ratified by states with smaller numbers of Amer
Kay [80]

Answer:

a bicameral legislature with different types of representation

Explanation:

The Great Compromise was a compromise that made possible the ratification of the US Constitution. It is called that way because there was a major problem with the representation of the legislative branch. The smaller states believed that they would lose representation next to the bigger states. The solution that was made was a bicameral legislative branch, with the House and Senate, which made possible the ratification of the Constitution.
