Answer: No. Historically, the US took advantage of the benefits of this constitutional law to carry out five occupations in Cuba between 1906 and 1933.

As a political “Cuban Independence Provider”, the United States organized an assembly in 1901 to draft the first Cuban constitution. Approval of the text came only after the US Senate secured approval of the so-called Platt Amendment. In general terms, the amendment served as a legal provision for the US to intervene in the country whenever its economic and political interests in the region were threatened.

In addition to making interference power official, the Platt Amendment offered the Americans an area of 117 square kilometers to build a military base in Guantanamo Bay.

In 1934, the rise of dictator Fulgencio Batista caused the amendment to be replaced by a trade agreement.

<u>Answer:</u>

The Throckmorton plot was a threat to Queen Elizabeth because it conspired to overthrow Queen Elizabeth I and bring Queen Mary of Scots to the throne.

<u>Explanation: </u>

For the fulfillment of the intention of re-establishing Roman Catholicism, it was necessary for the radical English Roman Catholics to take down Queen Elizabeth I and crown Queen Mary of Scots as the queen of England.

This conspiracy was revealed after a few suspicious attempts made for the said cause and the main conspirator, Francis Throckmorton was punished for it.
