(You did not list the actions so I wrote all of them down)

According to Article 1, Section 9 of the United States Constitution, Congress is prohibited from passing ex post facto laws (laws making an action a crime after the action has occurred), nor can it pass what is known as a bill of attainder, a law targeting for punishment a specific group of people.  Congress is prohibited from suspending habeas corpus except in times of national security concerns, and it is required to publicly account for all money withdrawn from the national treasury.  Additionally, Congress is prohibited from taxing inter-state commerce.  Congress is given some flexibility through what is sometimes called the "elastic clause" or the "necessary and proper" clause, as it states that Congress can make laws as it see fit as long as these laws are found to be "necessary and proper" to the welfare of the nation.  Of course, were this called into question, the President has the power to veto the law, and the Supreme Court could review and uphold, or strike down the law--a demonstration of the checks and balances system.  This system that is referred to as "checks and balances" is place for the specific purpose of allowing the President and the Supreme Court to reign in Congress should it step out of line, while Congress has similar powers it can exercise if need be to regulate the other two branches.

What became a significant threat to church power as a result of the great western schism?.
expeople1 [14]

The Great Western Schism was a split within the Catholic Church that lasted from 1378 to 1417. The schism was caused by a conflict between two papal claimants, one in Rome and the other in Avignon. The schism led to a decline in the authority of the papacy and a increase in the power of secular rulers.

The Great Western Schism also caused a decline in the power of the Catholic Church in Europe. The schism weakened the Church's authority and made it easier for secular rulers to challenge Church power. The schism also made it difficult for the Church to respond effectively to the problems of the time, such as the Hussite heresy.

The schism also had a negative impact on the Church's finances. The papacy was no longer able to collect revenues from all of Christendom, and this led to a decline in the Church's income. The schism also made it difficult for the Church to raise funds for its activities, such as missionary work.

The Great Western Schism was a significant threat to church power because it weakened the Church's authority, made it easier for secular rulers to challenge Church power, and had a negative impact on the Church's finances.

What weapons did the Aztec use? What weapons and other means of defense did the Spanish use?
Llana [10]
The most common weapon of the Aztec was the spears that were known to pierce Spanish armor and were sharp enough that warriors could use them to shave. Another name for their spears was, tepoztopilli. Aztec warriors also used bows & arrows, darts, clubs as well. The Spanish used allies they had made by force or persuasion. The fact that Moctezuma believed Cortés to be a reincarnated god also helped with aiding the Spanish in entering Tenochtitlan. The Spanish uses guns, swords, and cannons as their weapons in the fight against the Aztec but, their greatest weapon proved to be the Small pox virus which they brought to the new world from Europe. Since small pox had been around for a while in Europe, most Europeans had developed and immunity to it but still carried the virus. The Aztecs had never been exposed to the virus so within a number of weeks, a large percent of the Aztec population had been wiped out by the virus.
