The correct answer to the question above is (d.) Lepanto. The Ottomans were defeated at the Lepanto Gulf in 1571 C.E. The Ottomans sailed in westwards from the Lepanto towards their enemies; who came from Sicily and Messina. This war was called the Battle of Lepanto.
They enforce the law and defend the interest of the united states.
The reliance could be seen on how we acquire our military draft.
For example, countries such as Russia and south Korea implemented a mandatory military services for all adult men. (they're require to served at the military for around 1-2 years).
United states on the other hand, does not implement such mandatory military draft. All of our forces were acquired through voluntary methods without government force.
Since the nature of war has changed, voluntary method is more than enough since war that conducted on modern time would most likely relied on mass destruction weapons or advanced vehicles.
Im pretty sure the answer is-
D. Local elections are typically not used to elect any statewide representatives.
