Why did fighting continue in iraq after president bush declared the major combat was over

History
1 answer:
docker41 [41]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

President Bush announced the end of major combat operations, not that the war was over.

Explanation:

Neither President officially said the war was over. And the administration in a bit of cockiness did make a variety of statements about how the war was over (the "mission accomplished" banner, a speech by Rumsfeld, etc.).  The Bush administration did not anticipate or plan for any kind of real insurgency and at the time of the invasion, there was no al-Qaeda presence in Iraq so the continued fighting came as a major surprise.

President Obama announced the end of US combat involvement in Iraq.  Technically that was true--the SOFA (US status of forces agreement) had expired and the only elements we were allowed to have in Iraq at that point were trainers, security (for US personnel and our embassy) and support (for instance, the Iraqi air force was almost non-existent).  But no authorized combat units.

<em>The correct answer is the third one:</em>  The authors of the state constitutions had learned lessons that were useful in writing a new United States Constitution. Lessons learned in setting up state governments were helpful in setting up the United States government.

The state constitutions created the articles of confederation and it didn't have an executive branch and a judicial branch. The federal government was not allowed by state constitutions to control taxes. These mistakes were made before the US Constitution. So, government officials realize that they needed a stronger federal government.

<em>The Constitution (originally comprising seven articles) delineates the national frame of government. Its articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, the concepts of federalism, and establish the procedure subsequently used by the thirteen States to ratify it.</em>
