The 1948 United States Presidential Election is considered apart from being one of the biggest electoral upsets in American history, the start of an era of great economic prosperity and growth of the United States as a superpower in the land of politics.  

After winning the election then President elect Harry S. Truman implemented and oversaw various policies in order to contain and stop the influence of communism around the world which culminated in the entry of the United States in the Korean war.

During this time period President Truman also oversaw the approval of NSC 68, a secret statement of foreign policy. Which sought to increase the defense budget and in turn increase the military prowess of the US and weaken the Soviet Union's influence as much as possible.

The results of the 1948 Presidential Elections also influenced the reform of civil rights in the US, more specifically voting rights and fair employment rights, these reforms also had a key role in ending racial segregation in the armed forces.

Which of the following was enacted in order to punish the colonists of
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

The Intolerable Acts.

Explanation:

The Intolerable Acts were the laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 with the aim of punishing the colonists for their revolutionary acts (such as the Boston Tea Party), as well as attempting to display a power that would deter the colonists from initiating new actions (which did not work, as these laws instigated even larger uprisings by the settlers).

The Intolerable Acts closed Boston Harbor to trade, deprived Massachusetts of its right to self-determination and other ancient privileges, and limited the rights of settlers to exercise their political and economic freedoms, sparking protests and resistance, contributing to the War of Independence, which broke out in 1775.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The Great Compromise was a compromise between large states and small states on the formation of a new constitution.

Explanation:

After American independence the Articles of Confederation resulted in many challenges in the smooth functioning of the state, and a convention was called to discuss the fomation of a new constitution also known as the Constitutional Convention 1987. Two alternatives were proposed: first was the Virginia Plan, and second the New Jersey Plan. According to the Virginia Plan there would be three branches of government namely legislature, executive and judiciary. Legislature would consist of two houses: upper and lower. And representation in these houses would be based on population. On the other hand the New Jersey Plan also proposed three branches of government. It, however, called for a single house legislature with powers of trade and taxation with each state having one vote. Small states opposed Virginia Plan; Virginia was a large state. Whereas large states opposed the New Jersey Plan; New Jersey was a small state. In the final plan a compromise was reached also known as the Great Compromise. According to the final plan the legislature would consist of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each state would have equal members in Senate; in the House of Representatives the member would be based on population. The money bill would originate from House of Representative; this satisfied the large states. This plan also served the interests of small states by giving them more seats in upper house than they could otherwise have.
