<span>The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) marked the first U.S. armed conflict chiefly fought on foreign soil. It pitted a politically divided and militarily unprepared Mexico against the expansionist-minded administration of U.S. President James K. Polk, who believed the United States had a “manifest destiny” to spread across the continent to the Pacific Ocean. A border skirmish along the Rio Grande started off the fighting and was followed by a series of U.S. victories. When the dust cleared, Mexico had lost about one-third of its territory, including nearly all of present-day California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.</span>

The way most cases reach the supreme court is
WITCHER [35]
There are a few ways: 

<span>1) The most common is on appeal from state courts. A case originating in state court must work its way through the state court system up to the state's court of last resort (i.e. state supreme court), and then it can be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, but only if there is a substantial question involving a question of U.S. constitutionality. </span>

<span>2) On appeal through the Federal court system. A common route for a case involving Federal laws and the U.S. Constitution is for it to be first tried in the U.S. District Courts, and then appealed to the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals. The party losing at the Circuit Court may then appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. </span>

<span>In each of these two situations, the Supreme Court has the option to deny a hearing for the appeal. </span>

<span>3) There are a limited scope of cases that can go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court without having to go through the lower court systems. This is not common at all, but is provided for in Article III, Section 2 of the Constitution</span>

Why was the slave trade so profitable?
zhannawk [14.2K]
By far the most financially profitable West Indian colonies in 1800 belonged to Britain. The handful of British individuals who became planters made small fortunes. This advantage was reinforced when France lost its most important colony, Saint Dominigue (now Haiti), to a slave revolt in 1791.

In what ways did European colonists impact<br> networks, production and distribution?
kirill [66]

European goods, ideas, and diseases shaped the changing continent. As Europeans established their colonies, their societies also became segmented and divided along religious and racial lines. Most people in these societies were not free; they labored as servants or slaves, doing the work required to produce wealth for others.
