Following the 1994 midterm elections, Republicans in Congress BELIEVED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANTED THEM TO MAKE CHANGES.

In the 1994 midterm elections, Republicans had campaigned on the promise of  a "Contract with America."  Newt Gingrich and Richard Armey wrote the document and spearheaded the campaign to take control of Congress back for the Republican Party.  (Republicans had not had a majority in the House of Representatives for 40 years.)  The Republicans picked up 54 seats in the House of Representatives in the 1994 midterm election, as well as gaining 9 seats in the Senate, to become the majority party in Congress.  So they believed they should carry out their "Contract with America" to make changes.

Which statement best describes the significance of the Magna Carta? A.It limited the rights of individuals in order to stop abus
AysviL [449]

Answer:

<u>B. It set limits on the power of the British monarchy.</u>

Explanation:

The Magna Carta (1215) was a charter of rights written by a group of Barons of England that were tired of King John’s tyrannic rule. The charter established a more powerful parliament, granted some liberties of free men such as the right to a trial by jury before punishment and reduced the power of King John, whose rule was perceived as abusive especially toward people and in his imposition of high levies, even in the absence of war.

Its significance lies in the fact that it set limits on the power of the British monarchy by making the King subject to the law, meaning that from that point on, the British crown had to be accountable for their actions under the law, just like everyone else.

How is the necessary and proper clause related to federalism and state rights?
vitfil [10]
<span>
The Congress shall have Power - To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof. 

The clause grants Congress the authority to make laws which would establish the federal powers, the basis of Federalism (the authority of the federal government vis a vis state and individual powers and rights). The extent of the power and authority of the federal government was the primary concern of the thirteen colonies and the main issue discussed in the Federalist Papers written to advance the ratification of the Constitution. 

For many decades, the interpretation of the Necessary-and-Proper Clause was a powerful bone of contention between the Democratic-Republican Party and the Federalist Party, and several other political parties in the United States. While Democrats expressed concern that the clause would grant the federal government boundless power, Federalists argued that the clause would only permit execution of power already granted by the constitution.</span>Source(s):<span>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necessary-a...</span>
