In 1493, after reports of Columbus’s discoveries had reached them, the Spanish rulers Ferdinand and Isabella enlisted papal support for their claims to the New World in order to inhibit the Portuguese and other possible rival claimants. To accommodate them, the Spanish-born pope Alexander VI issued bulls setting up a line of demarcation from pole to pole 100 leagues (about 320 miles) west of the Cape Verde Islands. Spain was given exclusive rights to all newly discovered and undiscovered lands in the region west of the line. Portuguese expeditions were to keep to the east of the line. Neither power was to occupy any territory already in the hands of a Christian ruler.
No other European powers facing the Atlantic Ocean ever accepted this papal disposition or the subsequent agreement deriving from it. King John II of Portugal was dissatisfied because Portugal’s rights in the New World were insufficiently affirmed, and the Portuguese would not even have sufficient room at sea for their African voyages. Meeting at Tordesillas, in northwestern Spain, Spanish and Portuguese ambassadors reaffirmed the papal division, but the line itself was moved to 370 leagues (1,185 miles) west of the Cape Verde Islands, or about 46°30′ W of Greenwich. Pope Julius II finally sanctioned the change in 1506. The new boundary enabled Portugal to claim the coast of Brazil after its discovery by Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500. Brazilian exploration and settlement far to the west of the line of demarcation in subsequent centuries laid a firm basis for Brazil’s claims to vast areas of the interior of South America.

Explanation:

Federal Budget can be defined as a major plan for federal governments to predict future revenue and spending for a period of time which is usually a year.

These are the steps involved in creating the federal budget

STEP 1

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) prepares a budget proposal.

Office of Management and Budget is part of the management office of the President that makes the president budget based on the spending proposals received from federal agencies. Office of Management and Budget also reviews the effectiveness of agency services, policies and procedures to see if they fulfill with the priorities of the President and manage inter-agency policy initiatives.

STEP 2

The president submits a budget proposal to Congress.

After the office of the management has prepared the budget, the president will then submit the Budget to congress for review.  The Budget Committees of the House and the Senate hold hearings on the matter of the annual budget which gives the Congress an opportunity to layout it’s spending, revenue, borrowing and economic goals -- as well as providing the vehicle for imposing internal budget discipline through established enforcement mechanisms before deciding on the overall level of spending and taxation.  

STEP 3

Congress decides on the overall level of spending and taxation and passes specific spending bills.

After series of meeting among the congress, the congress will then decides on the overall level of spending and taxation and passes specific spending bills.  

STEP 4

The president signs the spending bills into law.

The Congress will present the spending bills to the President for his signature or veto, as proscribed by the Constitution. The President has ten days in which to decide: to sign the bill or to veto the bill, thereby sending it back to Congress and requiring much of the process to begin again with respect the programs covered by that bill.

Answer:

European conquest and colonization had deeply disturbing, devastating effects on Indian peoples of America, of the New World.
