What power does Hamilton believe that the judicial branch holds over the legislative<br> branch?

Arte-miy333 [17]

Explanation:

Hamilton made two principal points in the essay. First, he argued for the independence of the judiciary from the other two branches of government, the executive and the legislative. In presenting a case for the judiciary, he reached his second major conclusion: that the judiciary must be empowered to strike down laws passed by Congress that it deems "contrary to the manifest tenor of the Constitution."

In presenting his argument for the independence of the judiciary, Hamilton claimed that it was by far the weakest of the three branches. It did not, he said, have the "sword" of the executive, who is commander in chief of the nation's armed forces, nor the "purse" of the legislature, which approves all the tax and spending measures of the national government. It had, according to Hamilton, "neither FORCE nor WILL but merely judgment."

How did southern states react tolthe news of Abraham Lincoln winning the Election of

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

For the most part, states in the South reacted with anger to Lincoln's victory in the election of 1860.

The major issue of the 1860 presidential election was slavery. For Southerners, expanding slavery was the critical issue. Slavery was so pressing that the Democratic party put forth two candidates. One of them represented the Northern Democrats and the other candidate was for the interests of the Southern Democrats. Southerners knew that Lincoln and the newly formed Republican party were not going to be friendly to the expansion of slavery in the nation.

The high voter turnout reflected the voting public's passionate intensity regarding slavery. Lincoln did not win any electoral votes in the South, but carried the electoral votes in the Northern states. This helped to enhance the sectionalist feel to the election. Sectionalist feelings became more pronounced with Lincoln's election. Southerners openly embraced secession, or separating from the nation. South Carolina was the first state to secede upon Lincoln's election, proclaiming "that the Union now subsisting between South Carolina and other states under the name of the 'United States of America' is hereby dissolved" with Lincoln's election in the Presidential Election of 1860.

There were many reasons as to why Southern states separated from the nation. Talk of secession was becoming more evident as the partisanship for and against slavery became more entrenched. For Southern states, the election of Lincoln, though, became seen as a "last straw" and something that showed that compromise on slavery between North and South was impossible to achieve.

Answer:

hi hopefully this is right

Explanation:

1. Egyptian civilization, formed by 3000 B.C., benefited from trade and technological influence from Mesopotamia, but it produced a quite different society and culture. Because its values and its tightly knit political organization encouraged monumental building, we know more about Egypt than about Mesopotamia, even though the latter was in most respects more important and richer in subsequent heritage.

2. The history of ancient Egypt dates back to 3100 BC when nomads arrived and created the first settlements in the northern region of the Nile valley. It is believed the civilization lasted for about 3,000 years during which several invasions took place.

3. Politically, both Egypt and Mesopotamia had a government with one main ruler, but Egypt had a centralized government with a pharaoh, while Mesopotamia had a decentralized government with a king. Socially, both civilizations were patriarchal, but Egypt was more lenient towards women while Mesopotamia was stricter.

4. Pyramids are simply tombs or burial grounds while ziggurats are more of temples. 2. Ziggurats were built in Ancient Mesopotamia while pyramids were built in Ancient Egypt and Southern America. ... Ziggurats are chamber less while pyramids usually have internal chambers.

5. Due to the lack of farming methods, the Mesopotamian farmers hand harvested most crops. Because of the unpredictable flood, and lack of farming tools and methods, Egypt had a better profit in crops and had developed farming system.

6. The social structure in Ancient Egypt had smaller nobility and had fewer merchants than Mesopotamia. ... The job specializations in the Mesopotamian civilization priests, farmers, merchants, craftsmen and many more. In Mesopotamia, the priests and the nobles would be at the top of the social class.
