The War Powers Act was added onto the previous law known as the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. This resolution granted the president the power to take any steps towards protecting the United States from attack. The War Powers Act later made it a law for the president to consult with congress within 48 hours of sending troops into a foreign conflict.
This is an example of checks and balances because it is intended to prevent giving the president total war power.
For example, other countries that wanted higher control of various regions started investing in other aspects of warfare such as aircraft building which was not covered in the conference. Japan for example started annexing territory in order to ensure greater control over the Pacific region which was also not forbidden by the conference.
Limits on Congress
pass ex post facto laws, which outlaw acts after they have already been committed. pass bills of attainder, which punish individuals outside of the court system. suspend the writ of habeas corpus, a court order requiring the federal government to charge individuals arrested for crimes.
Why did the founders of the nation want to limit the powers of Congress? ... Congress had to be strng and powerful to avoid the failure of the Articles of Confederation, but it also had to have clear limits so citizens would be protected from authoritarian action by Congress.
Hope this helps
Answer:
James Oglethorpe's best argument for establishing a new colony in North America was that it would serve as protection for South Carolina.
Explanation:
The charter for the Province of Georgia was signed by George II on April 21, 1732 and it was granted to James Oglethorpe. The original purpose of the colony, according to Oglethorpe's plan, was as a penal colony for the settlement of people in prison becacuse of debts. The first prisoners arrived on February 12, 1733, a day that is still celebrated as Georgia Day. But the main geopolitical importance, that convinced the king to approve its creation, was that it would serve as a barrier for Spanish coming from Florida to reach the Carolinas, which were important crop producers for Britain.
