The XYZ Affair was a political and diplomatic episode in 1797 and 1798, early in the administration of John Adams, involving a confrontation between the United States and Republican France that led to an undeclared war called the Quasi-War.

Pres. John Adams dispatched three ministers to France in 1797 to negotiate a commercial agreement to protect U.S. shipping. In Paris the ministers were approached by three French agents who suggested a bribe of $250,000 to Talleyrand, the French foreign minister, and a loan of $10,000,000 to France as a prelude to negotiations. In April 1798 the machinations of the three French agents (called X, Y, and Z in the diplomatic correspondence) were made public in the United States. There was a great outcry over the bribe solicitation, followed by preparations for war. Although a period of undeclared naval warfare ensued between France and the United States formal war was avoided, and the incident was settled by the Convention of 1800.

Ahh please help! i think it’s kinda like true or false
velikii [3]

Answer:

1 = incorrect

2 = correct

3 = incorrect

Explanation:

1) the Legislative Branch is not in charge of enforcing the laws, they are in charge of creating and passing the laws. The Executive Branch (the President) are in charge of enforcing the laws

2) Congress is another name for the Legislative Branch

3) The Legislative Branch (Congress) is made up of two houses: The House of Representatives and the Senate. The Supreme Court is a part of the Judicial Branch.

PS- if you're wondering about the last one, the total number of people in Congress is 100 + whatever the total number of representatives is, you can figure this out by Googling it!

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Frederick Douglass

Explanation:

In the 1850s abolition was not a widely embraced movement in the United States. It was considered radical, extreme, and dangerous. In “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” Frederick Douglass sought not only to convince people of the wrongfulness of slavery but also to make abolition more acceptable to Northern whites.
