The prominent figure that opposed the Mexican-American War was (C) Henry Clay.

Henry Clay was a U.S. congressman and a presidential candidate that was also called the "Great Pacificator". He was against the annexatiation of Texas because it meant to risk the integrity of the Union; however, after some time, he decided that he was willing to support the annexation if this was achieved without a war. Therefore, in contrast to James Polk, who had an expansionist agenda, Henry Clay opposed the Mexican-American War. The declaration of war was finally approved by the U.S. Congress on May 13, 1846.

When the constitution was created which branch was created to enforce laws

Taya2010 [7]

Answer: Executive

Explanation:

The Constitution divides Federal power into three (3) branches which are: the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary.

The Legislature is given the duty of making laws that are in line with the Constitution and the Judiciary is given the duty of interpreting the Constitution to ensure that the actions of the Executive and the Legislature do not violate it (Constitution).

The Executive is then given the duty of enforcing the laws passed by the Legislature as well as the Constitution. They do this through the various departments under the President that form part of the President's cabinet.

This ensures that no single branch has absolute power in the management of the nation's affairs.
