1 answer:

3 0

The answer is letter c. Washington, DC. When the British forces defeated the Americans at the Battle of Blandenburg, British General Robert Ross led his troops to Washington D.C. where they burned the White House and the Capitol. This was the first time foreign invaders occupied Washington D.C. President Madison fled to Brookesville during the occupation. Later a storm and tornado came into Washington that killed British troops and American civilians. This caused the British to go back to their ships after occupying Washington for only 26 hours.

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

All of the following options are in effect to ensure the government does not have too much power.

Option I:
Government officials are indeed subject to the law, they're not above it nor are they allowed to break the law without facing repercussions.

Option II:
Government officials are held accountable for their actions which is true. Government officials are at risk to be impeached, which is to be removed from their position if they break any laws.

Option III:
Limitations are placed on how long government officials can serve, which is indeed true. Government officials aren't allowed to serve for long periods of time, they're usually allowed to serve for a few years then a new government official is voted into office.

Option IV:
The government is divided into branches which is again true. This is called separations of powers which was put into place to ensure the government doesn't have all the power. So, the government was spilt into three different branches and checks and balances ensures that each branch doesn't gain more power than the other.

Which means your answer is option D "i., il., iii., and iv" or all of the above.

Hope this helps.
