what is the chocies of the test
Answer:
the Congress couldn’t levy taxes
Explanation:
The central government consisted of a Congress in which the representative of each state had one vote. Each state was expected to honor the laws of the other states. But there was no central court to handle disputes among the states. There was no president or executive branch.
The Congress had the power to declare war and enter into treaties with foreign powers. It could establish a postal service and coin money. However, the Congress couldn’t levy taxes. Money for the central government depended on donations from the states, based on how much land they controlled. In other words, the Congress couldn’t fund an army without hoping that money would be provided from the states. It could do little to control the western lands, since money might not be available for that purpose. The weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation are summarized in the figure below. Let’s take a closer look at some of these flaws
The verdict of the Plessy v. Ferguson case was that "separate but equal" laws were justified or allowed to exist. This basically meant that states had the right to keep blacks and whites separate at separate facilities as long as they were equal.
Unfortunately, the separate facilities were not equal for blacks and there was terrible treatment and equality for a long time in American history throughout the 20th century.
When the Civil Rights Movement became more popular in the 1950s, decisions like Plessy v. Ferguson were overturned, allowing blacks and whites to go to the same schools. This started with the case of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, and other schools began to integrate after this important case.
There were still issues with people being treated equally, even though it became the law to treat people equally. With the Civil Rights Act of 1964, this outlawed all segregation in public places, so there would be no more segregation at restaurants, movie theaters, etc.
Some states tried to block this integration with their own ways and laws and in some places, things turned violent with race riots.
Even though places were being integrated at a faster pace, it was difficult for some people to accept the views of everyone being equal.
After the 13 colonies beat Britain in the Revolutionary war, the new country was looking for trading opportunities and build a domestic manufacturing base.
China had opened up to Western Powers and the US saw it as a big country to sell their own goods.
There was a huge local population but the local Chinese were not really interested in US or European products as a whole.
However, the United States did find niche markets for several products including Fur, to be sold in Northern China which gets really cold. The Americans were also able to find a market for sandalwood, which was popularly used to make Chinese Furniture.
The Americans were also able to sell the Ginseng Plant, which to date, is widely used in China as a cure for illnesses.
