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.

Answer:

(There are some websites that write papers for you, so in case in the future your question is not answered you can use one of those)

Explanation:

I am about to go on the greatest journey ever, and it's going to be at the place I have dreamed of going. Alaska. I can't wait to see all the snowy terrain and all the animals. It will be cold but I don't care, I love to travel and this will be my greatest experience yet! It will take a couple of hours to get there I think, and I cannot wait to explore. I am going with my two best friends (Choose friends name here) and they are almost as excited as I am. We might stay here for weeks, months or even years if we want to, it is time to step foot into a new adventure.

I am not really good at writing short stories with little detail but I hope you like it :)
