History
1 answer:
labwork [276]3 years ago
6 0
The United States sponsored the Contras because they were against the Sandinista government which was in place at the time in Nicaragua. The Sandinista government was a national reconstruction government, but it was a government that the United States viewed as communist. It came at the time where the United States was extremely weary of the Soviet Union and communist rule and a time when Reagan was president and his foreign policy was based very much on stopping opposing ideologies from gaining ground anywhere in the world.

How do you think mercantilism influence the relationship between the colonists and England?
Oduvanchick [21]
Mercantilism perpetuated the rigid trade system between England and the colonies. Only the colonies were allowed to trade with the parent country. This restricted free trade among the colonists barring them from cutting the middleman role of the parent country. Mercantilism only furthered animosity between country and colonies, leading to eventual war.

Most presidents are in favor of the line-item veto because it gives them more power over _____.
elixir [45]
<span>The correct answer is federal spending. It's a great thing for regulating federal spending because it can be used to nullify and veto only specific parts of legislature without vetoing the entire legislature pack. This way you can only ban the part that would increase spending, but you wouldn't ban the entire law from being voted.</span>
