The need was to avoid the European experience. During the war fought by the colonies against Britain, the King controlled British military, but the framers wanted to move away from that.

When they wrote the Constitution, framers separated the responsibilities for the military, placing them firmly in civilian hands: in the President, as the “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy" (Art II, Sect. 2) and in the Congress since it has the power to declare war and to make the rules for governing the military.

<span>The Korean War began as a civil war fought from 1950–1953 on the Korean Peninsula that was divided by the post-World War II Soviet and American occupation zones. The civil war began on June 25, 1950, when the communist Democratic People's Republic of Korea attacked the capitalist Republic of Korea. The civil war was greatly expanded when the United States, and later the Peoples' Republic of China entered the conflict based upon Cold War concerns. The conflict ended when a cease-fire was reached on July 27, 1953.

zubka84 [21]

The correct answer is D. new territory that contributed to the formation of seven new states.

After the Mexican-American War, the US and Mexico agreed to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This treaty favored the United States heavily, as they won the Mexican-American War. The ultimate goal of this war was to gain land from Mexico, which they accomplished. The Mexican Cession resulted in the United States gaining several thousand square miles of territories. This would result in the creation of states like California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, etc.
