Imperialists around the world used ideas of racial, national, and cultural superiority to justify imperialism. One of these ideas was Social Darwinism which was the belief that life consists of competitive struggles in which only the fittest survive. Social Darwinists felt that certain nations and races were superior to others and therefore destined to rule over inferior peoples and cultures. In an 1899 interview president McKinley explained "We could not give (the Philippines) back to Spain- that would be cowardly and dishonorable." instead he argued that the United States had no choice but to "take them all, and educate the Filipinos, and uplift and civilize...them.".
The correct answer is Article I Section 1. All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
The idea of separation of powers refers to a government in which there are several different branches that each have unique responsibilities. The aforementioned part of the Constitution is a perfect example of this, as it states that Congress has the ability to make laws in the US. Congress is given the ability to make laws, whereas the Supreme Court is given the power to interpret the constitution and whether or not laws are constitutonal, and the President is given the power to enforce the laws. This shows that each branch has a specific job in our government.
In World History, a declaration of independence does exactly that: declare a country's independence from a mother country. For example, the United States declared independence from England, and Comoros declared independence from France.

Roosevelt was largely involved with the affairs of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia and Cuba. Although he wasn't as aggressive as other presidents had been, he left on the table that he would protect the United States as best as he could if anything should happen.
