Answer:

The United States acquired the Philippines as a result of the Spanish-American war.

The Spanish American war was the result of the dispute among the states in 1898.

The war was ended by signing the 'treaty of Paris'. This treaty included that the power to rule Philippines along with 'Cuba Puerto Rico', and 'Guam', was shifted to US.

This treaty also involves that the shifting of sovereignty of Philippines to US needed a compensation of 20 million to Spanish government.

Answer:

The two themes I choose:

- Separation of Powers

The "Separation of Powers" states that governmental powers are to be evenly split between "x" amount of branches, x being determined by the Founding Fathers. Each of these branches are given a certain power (or job) that they need to do. For example, The Powers were separated and given to 3 branches:

Executive Branch: This branch is has the power to create a bill, as well as veto, line-veto, give ideas on what to change in a bill, create diplomatic relations with countries, ask congress to start wars, set up Judicial Judges.

Legislative Branch: This branch has the power to create bills, pass the bill, declare war, regulate commerce, control taxation and spending policies, veto or approve Judicial Judges.

Judicial Branch: This branch has the power to impeach Presidents, declare a law or bill as unconstitutional, have the last word on cases that reaches the Supreme Court.

- Checks and Balances

As stated above, there are 3 branches. Each of these branches (I will reiterate what i said) have the powers over the other, so as to not be able to overstep their bounds. Think of it as a triangle, in which they have more power and less power than the others.

Executive Branch:

Powers:

Veto/Pass Bills

Instate Judges

Start relations with other countries

Weakness:

Can be impeached

Veto can be overturned by Congress; Bills passed can be overturned by the Supreme Court

Must ask Congress to start wars if relations turn sour

Legislative Branch:

Powers:

Able to pass laws

Able to declare war

Able to regulate country and foreign commerce

Able to control taxes and how the government spends its funds

Weakness:

Congressmen & women can be replaced

Laws passed can be vetoed/declared unconstitutional

Judicial Branch:

Powers:

Life long term if appointed unless... (which would be put in weakness)

Able to declare laws unconstitutional

Able to have final word in how laws would be interpreted

Weaknesses:

Judges can be replaced

Rulings can be changed if the law is changed later on
