Lostsunrise [7]

Led by Alexander Hamilton, albeit secretly at first, the Federalists were the first political party of the United States. They supported the Constitution, and attempted to convince the States to ratify the document. Hamilton, along with John Jay and James Madison, anonymously published a series of essays known as the Federalist Papers under the pseudonym "Publius."

Both Hamilton and Madison argued that the Constitution didn't need a Bill of Rights, that it would create a "parchment barrier" that limited the rights of the people, as opposed to protecting them. However, they eventually made the concession and announced a willingness to take up the matter of the series of amendments which would become the Bill of Rights. Without this compromise, the Constitution may never have been ratified by the States.

Surprisingly enough, it was Federalist James Madison who eventually presented the Bill of Rights to Congress despite his former stance on the issue.

Which of the following statements about the War of 1812 are true? (Choose all that apply)

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The correct answers are A, B and E.

Explanation:

The War of 1812 was a military conflict between the United States, on the one hand, and Great Britain and its North American colonies in present-day Canada, on the other, which took place from 1812 to 1815. The war started after President Jefferson - President of the US - wanted to stay out of European conflicts. He wanted to devote himself to building the new nation, doubling US territory under his rule. The United States also wanted to continue to trade unhindered with Napoleon Bonaparte's France and with other Napoleonic-controlled countries in mainland Europe. Britain did not want to recognize this neutrality right, in response to which Jefferson declared a trade embargo in 1807.

In 1812, Jefferson's successor James Madison declared war on Britain with the primary objective of breaking the Indian-British coalition and liberating Canada. During this war, on the night of August 24-25, 1814, Washington was occupied by the British and several public buildings, including the White House, were burned to the ground.

This war was finally ended with the Treaty of Ghent, which was drafted in 1814 and ratified by the Americans in 1815. English supremacy at sea was not curbed. Nor did the US succeed in conquering Canada. However, the British stopped supporting their Native American allies so that the colonization by the Americans of Native American territory could no longer be prevented by the original inhabitants.
