Answer:

The executive branch

Explanation:

Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States says that the President has the power to grant reprieves and pardon for offenses against the US except in cases of impeachment.

Alexander Hamilton explained in the pamphlet Federalist n. 74 that the reason why the Founders included the pardon in the US Constitution was that there should be a system of pardon so in cases of mistakes or unfair sentences this could be used.

The course text notes that tensions and differences in the 1770s led to the American Revolution that eventually produced indepen
slavikrds [6]

I. Introduction

In the 1760s, Benjamin Rush, a native of Philadelphia, recounted a visit to Parliament. Upon seeing the king’s throne in the House of Lords, Rush said he “felt as if he walked on sacred ground” with “emotions that I cannot describe.”1 Throughout the eighteenth century, colonists had developed significant emotional ties with both the British monarchy and the British constitution. The British North American colonists had just helped to win a world war and most, like Rush, had never been more proud to be British. And yet, in a little over a decade, those same colonists would declare their independence and break away from the British Empire. Seen from 1763, nothing would have seemed as improbable as the American Revolution.


The Revolution built institutions and codified the language and ideas that still define Americans’ image of themselves. Moreover, revolutionaries justified their new nation with radical new ideals that changed the course of history and sparked a global “age of revolution.” But the Revolution was as paradoxical as it was unpredictable. A revolution fought in the name of liberty allowed slavery to persist. Resistance to centralized authority tied disparate colonies ever closer together under new governments. The revolution created politicians eager to foster republican selflessness and protect the public good but also encouraged individual self-interest and personal gain. The “founding fathers” instigated and fought a revolution to secure independence from Britain, but they did not fight that revolution to create a “democracy.” To successfully rebel against Britain, however, required more than a few dozen “founding fathers.” Common colonists joined the fight, unleashing popular forces that shaped the Revolution itself, often in ways not welcomed by elite leaders. But once unleashed, these popular forces continued to shape the new nation and indeed the rest of American history.

how was supporting the nomination of william jennings bryan as a democract both a positive and negative development for the peop
frozen [14]

Supporting the nomination of William Jennings Bryan as a democrat was both a positive and negative development for the People’s Party.

<u>Explanation:</u>

People’s party was found by the leaders of the Populist Movement which worked to safeguard the rights of farmers.  It was formed in 1891 and in the presidential elections of 1892 its candidate James B Weaver got 8.5% votes. This attracted political attention towards the people’s party.

Democrats were impressed by the ideals and support gained by the People’s party they succeeded in gaining the support of People’s party in 1896 presidential elections when William Jennings Bryan was the Democrat candidate. Getting folded up to the Democratic Party increased the political exposure of People’s party.

The fusion wasn’t a healthy decision considering the scenario in the south. Approaches of Democrats were completely racist which meant there was a conflict between ideologies between the two parties. The influence of People’s Party was over by 1908.

Was the Missouri compromise a permanent solution to the problem of slavery in the United States why or why not
sineoko [7]

Answer:

It was not

Explanation:

The civil war still proceeded to happen over the morality and legality of slavery, so the Missouri compromise was clearly ineffective at preventing war and appeasing both sides permanently.
