bor, after which the strategy was deemed unrealistic.
History

This statement is true, but not only unrealistic, now impossible. The decades prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, the American government had been debating and attempting to continue its isolationist roots. At the end of the 1800s, the U.S. was involved in several incursions into the global arena, which were always deemed problematic in that the viewpoint was to take care of America by itself, within itself, isolationism. The lack of immediate involvement in World War I demonstrates this, and again here at the beginning of the U.S. involvement in World War II. The U.S. again had resisted the urge to be directly involved in the spheres of war happening in Europe and in Asia, but the Japanese had so antagonized the U.S. with their devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, that involvement in the war was now almost an obligation. With the U.S. having been involved in so many arenas of battle, their policy of isolationism quickly changed to one of capitalistic imperialism in order to obtain and plunder resources throughout the world.<span />

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!! Why did the Federalists support having the U. S. Constitution replace the Articles of Confederation f
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The Federalists supported the new U.S Constitution and fought to replace the Articles of Confederation because the Articles of Confederation were weak and caused disruption in the newly independent United States.

The Articles of Confederation had a weak central government (because of the fear of the British monarchy), had no national currency, and lots of other issues. This caused chaos in the US. The 13 independent states were basically allies in a "confederation" and not united. Each state had their own currency and the federal government couldn't raise taxes and had no real power.

This lead to a poorly formed United States of America that just got independence.

The Federalists wanted to fix these issues that the Articles of Confederation failed to address, but in order to do that, they supported a <em>strong</em> federal government (even if it was run by the people). Of course, the people who supported the Articles objected to this (because of the fear of tyranny). To compromise, the Federalists wrote a Bill of Rights to protect the rights of citizens and states from the new federal government.

The Federalists did solve the issue of a national currency, federal power, and taxes. Once the US Constitution was set in place, the federal government and the US was doing better than it was back with the Articles.

Fun Fact: When the representatives were meeting to make the US Constitution, they broke the law because the Articles of Confederation forbid this. You could only revise the Articles, not write a completely separate and new document.

Hoped this helped!

Separation of powers is necessary for which of the following<br> reasons?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The separation of powers is important because it provides a vital system of ‘checks and balances’: Firstly, it ensures that the different branches control each other. This is intended to make them accountable to each other – these are the ‘checks’. Secondly, it divides power between the different branches of government. This balance aims to ensure that no individual or group of people in government is ‘all powerful’.
