Why did Japan wanted to seize the Pacific Islands?

What was a major obstacle to drafting a new constitution at the Constitutional Convention of 1787?

arsen [322]

Answer: A. a disagreement between the states over representation in Congress.

The main disagreement was over whether representation would be the same for all states, or based on a state's population size. Then there was also a question, for basing representation on population size, about whether slaves counted in a state's population or not.

The Great Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise were worked out during the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787 in order to resolve these issues.

The Great Compromise resolved a dispute between small population states and large population states. Initially, a unicameral (one-chamber) legislature was envisioned. The large population states wanted representation in Congress to be based on a state's population size. The smaller states feared this would lead to unchecked dominance by the big states; they wanted all states to receive the same amount of representation. The Great Compromise created a bicameral (two-chamber) legislature. Representation in the House of Representatives would be based on population. In the Senate, all states would have the same amount of representation, by two Senators.
The Three-Fifths Compromise was a way of accounting (somewhat) for the population of slaves in states that permitted slavery. For taxation and representation purposes, the question was whether slaves should count in the population figures. (They were not considered voting citizens at that time.) The Three-Fifths Compromise said that three out of every five slaves could be counted when determining a state's population size for determining how many seats that state would receive in the House of Representatives.

The terms “New World,” and “discovery” are used often when describing this Age of Exploration era. Why might these terms not be

puteri [66]

Answer:

These terms may not have been the most appropriate because people, specifically Indians who discovered what we call America (we know them as American Indians/Native Americans). It was not a "New World" or "discovery" to anyone besides Christopher Columbus and his followers; people already knew about it. A term that may fit what he found better is "learning" or "exploration", but it is important to recognize that he did not find America himself.

Answer:

The two themes I choose:

- Separation of Powers

The "Separation of Powers" states that governmental powers are to be evenly split between "x" amount of branches, x being determined by the Founding Fathers. Each of these branches are given a certain power (or job) that they need to do. For example, The Powers were separated and given to 3 branches:

Executive Branch: This branch is has the power to create a bill, as well as veto, line-veto, give ideas on what to change in a bill, create diplomatic relations with countries, ask congress to start wars, set up Judicial Judges.

Legislative Branch: This branch has the power to create bills, pass the bill, declare war, regulate commerce, control taxation and spending policies, veto or approve Judicial Judges.

Judicial Branch: This branch has the power to impeach Presidents, declare a law or bill as unconstitutional, have the last word on cases that reaches the Supreme Court.

- Checks and Balances

As stated above, there are 3 branches. Each of these branches (I will reiterate what i said) have the powers over the other, so as to not be able to overstep their bounds. Think of it as a triangle, in which they have more power and less power than the others.

Executive Branch:

Powers:

Veto/Pass Bills

Instate Judges

Start relations with other countries

Weakness:

Can be impeached

Veto can be overturned by Congress; Bills passed can be overturned by the Supreme Court

Must ask Congress to start wars if relations turn sour

Legislative Branch:

Powers:

Able to pass laws

Able to declare war

Able to regulate country and foreign commerce

Able to control taxes and how the government spends its funds

Weakness:

Congressmen & women can be replaced

Laws passed can be vetoed/declared unconstitutional

Judicial Branch:

Powers:

Life long term if appointed unless... (which would be put in weakness)

Able to declare laws unconstitutional

Able to have final word in how laws would be interpreted

Weaknesses:

Judges can be replaced

Rulings can be changed if the law is changed later on
