How did the United States justify Imperialism?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Before imperialism there was isolationism, which according to page 608 of the textbook was “the belief that America should stand apart, stay out of foreign wars, and avoid excessive political or economic involvement in foreign affairs”. This worked until 1846 when the US went to war with Mexico and gained four new states. With this new sense of power people begin to lean towards imperialism. Imperialism is “the policy or action by which one country controls another country or territory”. In 1893 there was an economic depression that led to an oversupply of manufactured goods that weren’t moving in America. In order to move these goods, businessman begin looking abroad. They believed that America needed to join the imperial competition and many military and political leaders agreed. A naval officer named Alfred Mahan published a book in which he wrote that in order for America to be a great world power we will need a great navy. This new imperial rule for the for America seemed to be justified by the idea of social Darwinism, which is basically just survival of the fittest.

According to the Preamble, why was the Constitution written?
stepan [7]

From those choices, the correct answer is:  <u>to provide a common defense</u>.

"A common defense" is just one of several purposes stated in the Preamble.  The Preamble to the US Constitution says:  "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Incidentally, the term "preamble" stems from the Latin compound word "praeambulus" (prae + ambulus), meaning "walking before" or "going before."  So a "preamble" is an introductory statement to something, going before the main content of the document itself.
