Answer:

 <span>"Popular sovereignty is government based on the consent of the people. Government, established by free choice of the people, is expected to serve the people, who have sovereignty, or supreme power. 

Popular sovereignty is the basis of constitutional government in the United States. The U.S. Constitution clearly establishes government in the name of the people. The preamble says: “We the people of the United States… do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” 

Popular sovereignty was exercised according to Article 7 of the Constitution, which required that nine states approve the proposed frame of government before it could become the supreme law of the United States. The people chose representatives to ratification conventions who freely decided to approve the Constitution in the name of those who elected them. Popular sovereignty was also recognized in Article 5 of the Constitution, which provides for amendments to the Constitution through decisions by elected representatives of the people. Finally, popular sovereignty is reflected in Article 1, which requires that representatives to Congress be elected by the people. 

Popular sovereignty, or government by the people, implies majority rule. People elect representatives in government by majority vote, and these representatives of the people make laws by majority vote."

In the context of the 16th century why would the Spanish Crown have believed the Requerimiento gave justification to its actions
faust18 [17]

The Spanish Requirement of 1513 (Requerimiento) was a declaration by the Spanish monarchy, written by the Council of Castile jurist Juan López de Palacios Rubios, of Castile's divinely ordained right to take possession of the territories of the New World and to subjugate, exploit and, when necessary, to fight the native inhabitants.

The Requerimiento (Spanish for "requirement" as in "demand") was read in Castilian<span>[citation needed]</span> to Native Americans to inform them of Spain’s rights to conquest. Those who subsequently resisted conquest were considered to harbor evil intentions.<span>[citation needed]</span> The Spaniards thus considered those who resisted as defying God’s plan, and so used Catholic theology to justify their conquest

The first government dealt with foreign problems by ___________________.
trasher [3.6K]

D) Declaring that we were a neutral country that would not get involved in other countries' issues. Before and During the Napoleonic Wars, both France and Britain wanted the US to join their side and fight the other. However, the US chose to stay out of it, so both the French Navy and British Navy began capturing American sailors, called impressment, to fight in their navy, claiming that they were deserters. They also raided and stole ships and cargo from the American Navy vessels and merchant vessels. This started what is known as the XYZ Affair, which was a phony war against France, and the War of 1812 against Britain.

Which route did the explorer john cabot take to reach canada
Zepler [3.9K]
<span>Though the exact details of his life and expeditions are the subject of debate, John Cabot (or Giovanni Caboto, as he was known in Italian) may have developed the idea of sailing westward to reach the riches of Asia while working for a Venetian merchant. By the late 1490s, he was living in England, and gained a commission from King Henry VII to make an expedition across the northern Atlantic. He sailed from Bristol in May 1497 and made landfall in late June. The exact site of Cabot’s landing has not been definitively established; it may have been located in Newfoundland, Cape Breton Island or southern Labrador. After returning to England to report his success, Cabot departed on a second expedition in mid-1498, but is thought to have perished in a shipwreck en route.</span>
