Correct answer:  Creating the Environmental Protection Agency

Explanation/detail:

Based on answer choices I've seen elsewhere, the other options were foreign policy initiatives -- the formal recognition of China and Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT).  There was also a decoy answer about reducing interest rates, but that wasn't a successful policy initiative on Nixon's part.  During the Nixon presidency, the Federal Reserve chairman, Arthur Burns, had begun raising interest rates.  In 1971, President Nixon exerted pressure on Burns and "the Fed" to keep interest rates down, but that only led to a decade of high inflation that caused other economic problems. So that was not a success for Nixon.

<u>About the Environmental Protection Agency</u>

President Nixon signed an executive order establishing the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970.  Subsequent committee hearings in the House of Representatives and the Senate ratified Nixon's order for the creation of the agency.  

Environmental issues had been gaining much attention during the 1960s, and the need for oversight became clear.  As Lily Rothman reported in a TIME magazine article:

  • <em>An oil spill off the California coast in 1969 coated 400 square miles with slime and killed hundreds of birds. Scientists announced that auto exhaust was at high enough levels in some places that it could cause birth defects. The city of St. Louis smelled, as one resident put it, “like an old-fashioned drugstore on fire.”</em>

<em>- </em>"Here's Why the Environmental Protection Agency Was Created," <em>TIME, </em>March 22, 2017

Nixon's administration felt it necessary to take action to address pollution problems in the American environment.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is <em><u>b) The right to bear arms</u></em>

Explanation:

While both the English and the American bill of rights focuses on liberty and justice for all, the English Bill of Arts, does not give give any right to bear arms.

The right to bear arms is enshrined as part of the unique American democratic system.

Bond [772]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the video, the link to the video, or the name of the video to look for it. This information is necessary to know what you are talking about.

However, doing some research, we can comment on the following.

The colonists addressing this song towards English King George III. What the colonists are doing is expressing the series of complaints stated in the Declaration of Independence drafted by Thomas Jefferson and other four prominent founding fathers, as was the case of Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, John Adams, and Robert Livingstone.

The Second Continental Congress held in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in July 1776, asked Jefferson to draft the Declaration, citing all the grievances committed by the English crown. The Declaration was finally adopted on the fourth of July of that year.

Write a speech that you might deliver to colonial rulers in which you express your opinion about European imperialism in Africa.
labwork [276]

Answer and Explanation:

I truly believe that European imperialism was a <u>bad thing </u>for Africans. The main goal of Europeans was to use their <u>resources</u>. During that process people were suffering and were poorly treated. Many of them died, because of miscondutment. The best example for that was Belgian Congo.

People suffered as never and were craving to change the system of government.
