Correct answer:  The spread of US culture to other parts of the world.

There is a connection also to the idea of America's growing power in the world after World War II, but to talk about "Americanization" refers to the cultural influence and impact of America across the globe, which also began to grow in the second half of the 20th century.  British writer Chris Blackhurst described his own feelings as a young man in northern England, where he and his friends thought of Americans as "having greater knowledge and experience – not of politics or world affairs, but fashion, film, music, cars, shopping. We craved to be American."  (See article: "How the World Was Won: The Americanization of Everywhere," <em>The Independent, </em>October 2, 2014.)

An example of the spread of Americanization across the world can be seen in the growth of fast-food chain McDonald's.  McDonald's was founded in California in the USA in 1948.  In the 1960s, McDonald's began opening restaurants in other countries -- Canada and Costa Rica first, and kept going from there.  Today McDonald's has 32,000 locations in 117 countries.  That's just one example of Americanization -- spreading a menu and food culture worldwide.  Other examples from music and movies and the arts could be cited, as well as clothes and cars and many other American trends.

Not everyone views the spread of American culture worldwide as a good thing.  Some see it as clouding the cultural heritage of other lands when they fall under US cultural influence.

What action did Jefferson do that may have been unconstitutional
AysviL [449]

The correct answer is the Louisiana Purchase.

While the President has the power to negotiate treaties, Jefferson likely got quite a bit ahead of himself when the land was purchased before the consent of the United States Senate.

Furthermore, the Federalists believed that the acquisition of territory itself might be unconstitutional.

1. Describe federalism in your own words using evidence from Document 2 to support your description. (4 Points)
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Federalism is mainly understood to be an organizational principle in which the individual members (member states) have a limited independence and statehood, but are united to a sovereign overarching federal state.  

A federal state consists of sub-states that exercise certain (limited) competences under constitutional law that are not derived from the federal government as a whole. In addition to the state as a whole, the member states of a federal state therefore have their own, original autonomy over the population in their territory in terms of constitutional law.
