"Slaves are in the power of masters, a power derived from the law of nations: for among all nations it may be remarked that mast

ers have the power of life and death over their slaves, and that everything acquired by the slave is acquired for the master.
But at the present day none of our subjects may use unrestrained violence towards their slaves, except for a reason recognized by law. For, by a constitutio of the Emperor Antoninus Pius, he who without any reason kills his own slave is to be punished equally with one who has killed the slave of another."
-The Institutes, Book I, Chapter VIII

b. Masters were allowed to kill their own slaves, if they had a reason for doing so.

Why did Americans from the south and west WANT to go to war with Mexico?
nataly862011 [7]

The reason Americans from the south and west wanted to go to war with Mexico is because they wanted to expand their territory of the United States. This war was basically a battle for land, or territory. Mexico was fighting to keep their land, while the U.S fought to retain the land from them which is not Texas and more of Mexico's northern lands. The U.S. Congress approved the declaration of war on May 13, 1846 with the majority voted for the war to be taken place. They claimed that Mexico crossed the boundaries of the United States and is invading their territory. Another reason why the Americans wanted to go to war with Mexico is to get more land for slavery. They wanted to get more land so they could get more slaves and show their political power upon them. Because Mexico was in a difficult time, it was hard for them to win the war to keep their land, so they gave up and allowed the U.S to take their land

MArishka [77]

Why was keeping a continental army difficult under the Articles of Confederation?

Answer:

Congress had no power to raise a military separate from the states.

The Articles of Confederation was the first Constitution of the United States. Under these Articles, the central government was weak. Congress had many limitations. Among others, it could not raise an army and could not raise money. In case it needed some, Congress had to ask for it to the states that we're the ones that remained sovereign and could collect money through taxation.
