Which statement most accurately explains why the war powers act was passed

History
1 answer:
Ket [755]3 years ago
3 0
The War Powers Act was a law passed by Congress because it would limit the power of the executive branch.

This act was passed after the Vietnam War, in which Congress gave the president almost unlimited power to put troops wherever he saw fit. This was part of the Golf of Tonkin Resolution. This did not end well, as the US involvement in Vietnam was a failure.

To prevent this from happening again, the War Powers Act was passed. This made it so that the president can only put troops in a country if the United States security was at stake. The president can only put troops there for 60 days. After that, he/she needs Congress to approve troops being there.

Comparing Federalist and Anti-Federalist Positions
OleMash [197]

The interest group that voiced opinions on ratifying the constitution and establishing a more powerful central government was known as the Federalists and Anti-Federalists.

<h3>Who are the Federalists and Anti-Federalists?</h3>

A conflict arose over ratification, with the Federalists supporting a strong union and the Constitution's adoption and the Anti-Federalists opposing the establishment of a powerful national government and rejecting ratification.

In contrast to the Anti-Federalists, who opposed the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1787, the Federalists stood for those who favored the establishment of a more powerful federal government.

Because they believed that state constitutions already protected individual rights, the Anti-Federalists opposed a bill of rights in the Constitution.

In exchange for their approval, the Federalists agreed to include the Bill of Rights.

To ensure that the rights would not be revoked by the new federal government, the Anti-Federalists insisted that a bill of rights be included in the Constitution.

Tariffs are taxes on imported goods. This is a common economic policy of conservatives.
