Marbury sued James Madison BECAUSE JAMES REFUSED TO HAND OVER HIS COMMISSION TO HIM.
President John Adams appointed some people as justice of peace just before he existed office and Marbury happened to be one of these people. When the new president came in [Thomas Jefferson], he refused to recognize these people and he instructed his sectary of state, who happened to be James Madison to hold back from giving the appointed people their commissions. The commission represents the evidence that these people have been appointed by the president. Due to this, Marbury sued James by taking the case to the supreme court.

James Madison was sued in the famous Marbury v. Madison because he refused to give a commission to William Marbury, who was chosen to become a judge by Thomas Jefferson, the new President of the United States. Because of this refusal, Marbury could not work.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

This case was a political conflict between the federalists and the democratic-republicans. These two groups were fighting to take control of the United States Congress. In Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court judges decided that as soon as the president had signed the nomination of a person, a man like James Madison did not have the right to prevent it from being applied. This decision was a strengthening of the powers of the Supreme Court and the American Congress in general. It was a defeat for the Republican Democrats who wanted to reduce the powers of these institutions and give it back to the people.

This case was important because it gave the right to the Supreme Court to judge whether a law is constitutional or not, and to force congressmen to enforce their decisions. James Madison had tried to defend himself with the judiciary act which forbade the court to intervene in such a situation. However, this defense was not accepted because the American judges considered the judiciary act as unconstitutional. The constitution is the most important text in the United States, nobody can go against it.

Answer:

There have been three (3) prominent countries to embark on a Five Year Plan in the 20th century. As I am unsure as to which you refer to, I will give the dates for all three.

Soviet Union

Under Stalin, the U.S.S.R wanted to catch up to the West in terms of production and so embarked on several Five Year Plans. The Second one began in the year <u>1933 and went till 1937.</u>

China

The Chinese copied the Soviet Union in making Five Year plans but never stopped. There has been a Five Year plan since 1953 with the nation being on its fourteenth plan now. The second plan however, lasted from<u> 1958 to 1962. </u>

India

India also emulated this strategy and came up with several Five Year plans with the second running from April <u>1956 to March 1961. </u>

The topics of "tree trade" and "trade barriers" can be tricky. Identify the statements that are accurate.
Ludmilka [50]

The correct answers are A and B.

<em>Free trade</em> seeks to eliminate barriers to imports and promote international trade. Yet it can be more than dangerous to the environment. The main concern is the lowering of national environmental standards in order to export more goods. With free trade, large amount of goods are transported every day which contributes to the rise of the carbon footprint of transportation. Increased production on agricultural farms means more pesticide use and more consumption of energy, all harmful to the environment.

<em>Trade barriers </em>can have a negative effect on the developing world ( overproduction and dumping ) but they do help 'infant industries'. Protective tariffs and trade barriers protect brand-new industries from foreign and national competition. This gives the new companies a bit more time to establish their position on the market.
