What might have happened if the National Government could only legislate based on what is specifically in the Constitution?

1 answer:

8 0

The amount of territory the US currently has would have been completely different if the national government could only legislate based on what is written in the constitution.

A perfect example of this is the power to purchase land/territories from other countries. This was first done by Thomas Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The US Constitution does not say that the president has the power to buy land from other countries. However, Jefferson said that this power was "implied" by the Constitution.

This idea of an implied power greatly changed the presidency/national government. Several presidents after Jefferson would follow his lead by making deals with countries for territory.

If it wasn't for this concept of implied powers, the US may not have grown to the 50 states we know it as today.

What event spurred industrialization in the United States

Paladinen [302]

Hey there!

Let's analyze each of these. Many of these ended up boosting the economy, but only one lead to industrialism, or a big increase is manufacturing.

The Louisiana Purchase led to a lot of exploring and land trading, but not necessarily industrialization.

The revolutionary war gave the U.S. its independence but did not start any specific types of industries.

After the Mexican war, the U.S. gained more land in the West but for the same reason as the Louisiana Purchase, it did not increase manufacturing industries.

This leaves the answer as D) The War of 1812. The War of 1812 reinstated that the U.S. did not need to trade with Britain or many other countries, which led many states to begin to manufacture their own goods.

I hope this helps!
