In 1854, the United States acquired land from Mexico through the Gadsden Purchase. This land become into two future US states Arizona and New Mexico.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The Mexican-American battle ended in 1848 with the Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty. The main reason for this was the U.S. government wanted to expand its territory.
But the tension among the U.S. government and the Mexican government continued for the next six years.Thus the Gadsden Purchase finalized the tensions and an agreement was made between two governments in 1854.
The U.S. agreed to settle Mexico $10 million per 29,670 square mile part of Mexico. That became part of New Mexico and Arizona. Also, Gadsden’s Purchase granted the land requirement for the southern transcontinental railroad construction.
<h2>"Expressed powers" or "enumerated powers."</h2>
Enumerated powers are those powers specifically granted to the federal government by the United States Constitution.
Enumerated powers include such things as the power to coin/print money, the power to establish and impose tariffs, and the power to regulated trade with foreign nations and trade/commerce between states.
Strict constructionists and loose constructionists differ over whether the government's powers should be limited to those specifically enumerated powers. Strict constructionists read the Constitution as giving the federal government only those specifically delegated powers. Loose constructionists argue that anything not specifically forbidden by the constitution can be within the window of what the government needs to do in adapting to the needs of time and circumstances.
