Answer:

The answer is:

D. US troops, following orders from President Polk, claimed an area of disputed land for the United States which caused an attack by Mexico in retaliation​

Explanation:

The major cause of the war was actually  the annexation of Texas by the US in 1845. Among tensions, skirmishes and a failed diplomatic mission, president Polk ordered American troops commanded by Gen. Zachary Taylor to occupy the disputed zone between Río Nueces and Río Grande (Río Bravo for Mexicans) in January 1846. Taylor´s men were attacked by Mexican troops in April killing or injuring 16 of them. Polk claimed Mexican soldiers had attacked US troops and "shed American blood upon American soil." He requested a declaration of war. Congress overwhelmingly voted to declare war on Mexico on May 13, 1846.

Answer:

From 1816 to 1824 there was only one political party in the United States: the Democratic-Republican Party. The party had internal divisions that manifested when the party leaders elected William H. Crawford as the presidential candidate. Local leaders in different states presented their candidates. Andrew Jackson was one of them.

Jackson won the popular vote by a plurality (largest share but not a majority). The ensuing result divided the party, and in 1828, the elections were between Jackson's Democrats and the Republicans, who supported Adams.

The bitterness and division between both parties were deep. Both parties tried to show the other candidate in a negative light, and the two-party system emerged from those elections.
