The correct answer is C) The word in their own language for German was Deutsch, and it was misunderstood by English speakers.

German immigrants were referred to as the Pennsylvania Dutch because the word in their own language for German was Deutsch, and it was misunderstood by English speakers. In the beginning, it is obvious to think that American people already settled in the Pennsylvanian territories had confused the word "Deutsch" with the word "Dutch." Historians supposed that Germans corrected the Americans once and twice, but in the end, they accepted being called Pennsylvania Dutch instead of Pennsylvania Germans.

The Pennsylvania Dutch (Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch) are a cultural group formed by early German-speaking immigrants to Pennsylvania and their descendants. This early wave of settlers, which would eventually coalesce to form the Pennsylvania Dutch, began in the late 17th century and concluded in the late 18th century.

Inga [223]

Since capitalism is based around the production and trade, consumerism as a movement that promoted consumtion logically increased the demand and the production. The more people consumed, the more profit did the companies have. By definition, consumerism promotes over consumtion of goods and services that are not neccessary or needed. Using the means of marketing and promotion, companies affect people's behavior by increasing the demand for certain products and therefore creating trends. In consumerism, products lose their value and are easily replacable. Also the appetite for variety of different products is increased.

It could be difficult for Congress to check the power of the President because the executive could argue that this was not a declaration of war, but just a way to help Haiti by sending some military forces to fight against atrocities perpetrated by Haiti's former leaders and to oversee a transition to democracy.
