<em>A. A measure that allowed the U.S. government to intervene in Cuban affairs.</em>
Explanation:
The Platt Amendment was made in 1901 and had it so all treaties that were brought to Cuba had to be approved by the United States.
The United States could now intervene in Cuban affairs whenever they wanted, they wanted to protect certain interests that were on Cuba and protect the Cuban independence. The United States could also now lease or even buy certain parts of Cuban land for naval bases or even coaling stations to power certain things.
Many Cubans actually approved of the Platt Amendment, as many felt more protected and safer.
Answer:
Decentralized
Explanation:
If I were to settle in a decentralized state, then the power wouldn't be consolidated in a single entity. This means I am less likely to have to pay a "Royal Tax" and if I'm lucky since I can read and write and have a modern education I could become a page in the local nobleman's court or perhaps join a monastery and work there. It would be a simple life but I doubt it would bring any unwanted attention which would be bad since I could be a "Witch" or "Devil" or something and be burned at the stake.
