Congress holds the power to declare war, but in the wars with Korea, Vietnam, and both wars with Iraq, how have the presidents a

Natali [406]

Answer:

The President has used his role as commander-in-chief to initiate military actions, but not war.

Explanation:

The difference between a military action or intervention and war is diffuse and subject of debate among constitutional scholars. It seems that if the president sends military abroad without approval of Congress, then, it is a military intervention, and if the president does the same with approval of Congress (as it happened in World War II, the last time Congress declared war), then, it is war.

Therefore, the Korean, Vietnam, Iraq, and most recently, Libya and Syria interventions are not legally considered war, but military interventions.

How was the antebellum two party system different from the gilded age two party system?

laila [671]

The two-party system has been present in America for decades, and it has become one of the most prominent features of our political system. However, it has also undergone significant changes.

During the Antebellum period, the two dominant parties (Republicans and Democrats) were divided over the issue of slavery. The Republican Party was created in the late 1840s and early 1850s, and they held mostly abolitionist views. On the other hand, the Democrats consisted mostly of Southerners and rural Westerners, and they were, for the most part, pro-slavery.

During the Gilded Age, the most pressing issue was that of modernization. The Democratic Party incorporated much of the platform of the Populist Party, which tried to challenge big businesses. However, the Republicans dominated the political system between 1896 and 1932.

what factors lead to a civilization growth, and how might environmental determinism influence these factors

Leto [7]

Access to food, water, shelter, and all basic human needs can hinder or help the growth of a civilization. Civilizations with similar environments or climates tend to develop on similar paths (because they run into the same problems/conveniences that have to be solved by human brains, which are wired to react to certain situations in certain ways.)
