What was the naacp's views on american society
Delicious77 [7]
He NAACP opposed racist views that terrorized and segregated people of color. They were an intellectual group that help to bring about fairer education (Brown vs. Board of Education, 1957) kinder housing and anti-lynching, They felt all humans should be treated with justice, kindness and equality and lobbied to foster positive change in America. (Thank goodness they brought awareness to so much cruelty and injustice. It still makes me cringe to think the U.S. was and still is so uninformed about human issues.)<span>

Do you think Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative was a good or bad idea?
spayn [35]

Answer:

Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative was a good idea; everything Reagan did was good for our country.

Explanation:During the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan initiated the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), an anti-ballistic missile program (ABMP) that was designed to shoot down nuclear missiles in space. Otherwise known as “Star Wars,” SDI sought to create a space-based shield that would render nuclear missiles obsolete.

But something people do not talk about is how he was interested in  the ABMP dating back to 1967 when as governor of California,  he paid a visit to physicis Edward Tellert the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Reagan reportedly was very taken by Teller’s briefing on directed-energy weapons (DEWs), such as lasers and microwaves. Teller argued that DEWs could potentially defend against a nuclear attack, characterizing them as the “third generation of nuclear weapons” after fission and thermonuclear weapons, respectively (Rhodes 179). According to George Shultz, the Secretary of State during Reagan’s presidency, the meeting with Teller was “the first gleam in Ronald Reagan’s eye of what later became the Strategic Defense Initiative” (Shultz 261). This account was also confirmed by Teller, who wrote, “Fifteen years later, I discovered that [Reagan] had been very interested in those ideas” (Teller, 509).

How did Thomas Jefferson use the power of the federal government to explore the Louisiana Purchase?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

<em>Hello, The Louisiana Purchase was a land purchase made by United States president, Thomas Jefferson, in 1803. Thomas Jefferson approved the deal and used his constitutional power to sign treaties to buy the land. Napoleon Bonaparte sold the land because he needed money for the Great French War. The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 brought into the United States about 828,000 square miles of territory from France, thereby doubling the size of the young republic. An amendment of the Constitution seems necessary for this.” Jefferson drafted an amendment that would authorize the purchase of Louisiana retroactively. But Jefferson's cabinet members argued against the need for an amendment, and Congress disregarded his draft. The Senate ratified the treaty in October of 1803. Hope That Helps!</em>

The Articles were written to govern a new country, the ______________________________________________. But the Articles were too
Talja [164]

Answer:

The Articles were written to govern a new country, the United

States of America. But the Articles were too weak to do that

effectively.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation were written during the American Revolution. Ben Franklin wrote the first draft. It did not pass because the colonists thought it gave too much power to a central government. After a great deal of discussion and correction, the articles were rewritten and ratified in 1781. The ratified Articles stated that each state had one vote in a newly formed Congress.  

<em>According to the Articles, Congress COULD:</em>

Conduct foreign affairs

Make treaties

Declare war

Maintain an army and a navy

Coin money

Establish post offices

<em>According to the Articles, Congress COULD NOT:</em>

Could not elect a president of the central government.

Could not enforce laws. Congress could pass laws, but Congress could not force the states to obey those laws.

Could not raise money by collecting taxes, not from the people, and not from the states. Without taxation, it was nearly impossible to run a government.

It was soon obvious that the Articles were too weak to create a functioning central government. In 1787, the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia. Two of its strongest supporters were Ben Franklin and George Washington. In 1779, a new document went into effect. They called it the Constitution.
