They wanted to get their hands on goods the likes of which had never been seen in Europe--silk is a big one, for instance. The Silk Road was too dangerous because of bandits and the Ottoman Emprie, so if a sea route could be found from Europe to Asia, then the person who found it would be rich.

Clinton v. New York
MrRissso [65]

The correct answer is B.

Clinton v. New York was a decision enacted by the US Supreme Court in 1998, which stated that the line-item veto violated the Presentment Clause and, therefore, the US Constitution.

The line-item veto had been introduced by the Line Item Veto Act in 1996 and it allowed the chief of the executive power, the President, to veto fragments or provisions of a bill without vetoing the entire bill. In opposition, the Presentment Clause describes the procedure through which bills originating in Congress, become federal US law. Such procedures only contemplate the president's power or rejecting an entire bill.
