Answer:

The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 says that if a state doesn’t pass a law making it illegal for people under 21 to buy or publicly possess alcohol, then that state will lose 10 percent of the federal funding for state highway money. The idea was to curb drunk driving accidents, which were happening at a higher rate for people between 18 and 20 than any other age group at the time. And while the federal government can’t constitutionally mandate a federal minimum drinking age, thanks to the the 21st Amendment, it can “motivate” states to fall in line by threatening to take away money.

Answer:

American principles traditionally opposed to imperialism.

Explanation:

<u>The American Anti-Imperialism League was formed so as to oppose to new expansion tendencies.</u> It argued that the traditional American attitude was that the only lawful and just government was the one that is approved by those who are governed.

According to the members of the League, <em>it was a violation of the original American beliefs</em> but sadly for them, it didn't persist and the organization, as well as the beliefs were shut down and defeated in the beginning of the 20th century.
