Answer:
The correct answer is D. The Supremacy Clause ensures that the U.S. Constitution overrules each state constitution.
Explanation:
The Supremacy Clause provides for the Constitution and laws of the United States, as well as international treaties concluded by the United States, to be the supreme law of the country. This clause also obliges state judges to be governed by the US Constitution, laws, and international treaties, even if individual state constitutions and laws are contrary to federal law. State constitutions also recognize the supremacy of the US federal constitution. The Supremacy Clause is contained in Article VI of the US Constitution.
Hernan Cortes (1485-1547) was a Spanish colonizer and conqueror, who leaded the conquest of the Mexican territories, that started in 1519 with the occupation of Veracruz. The tales about the sacking of the Mexican capital, Tenochtitlan, are still legendary nowadays.
After the takeover of Veracruz, Cortes gave the order of sinking his own ships (it was thought they were burnt, but nowadays that hypothesis is being questioned). Anyway, he destroyed his ships on purpouse to force his men to go forward and conquer the New World, both in the militar and spiritual (goal of spreading the Christian religion) dimensions.
- Agreement with his decision: of course it is an incredibly effective manner of ensuring that his men would be motivated to conquer the territory, mainly because they did not have an alternative choice. They had to become rulers there or be lost in the middle of unknown lands. It can be claimed how the ultimate goal justifies the means.
- Disagreement with the decision: it can be argued how unethical is that he prevented his men from deciding if they wanted to participate or not on the mission. He eliminated the choice.
Answer: The goal of the conservatives at the Congress, led by Prince Klemens von Metternich of Austria, was to reestablish peace and stability in Europe. To accomplish this, a new balance of power had to be established. Hope this helps (:
After almost two thousand years of life in the scattering, the Jews began to return to Israel after the Second World War. It was preceded by many agreements, promises, that by the decision of the UN, the Jews would be allowed to form their own state in Palestine. Of course this did not go without conflicts and struggle, because the Arabs who had already lived in Palestine claimed that Palestine had been their land for many centuries, calling on mosques that exist on the hill of the temple. On the other hand, the Jews claimed that Palestine was actually Israel, their promised land according to the Bible, and called for a crying wall, the remains of the Jewish temple, which according to the Bible existed before the Arabs were in Palestine.
The answer is: Jews and Arabs.
