C. They both practiced slash-and-burn agriculture.
The right answer is James K Polk (President of America), whose message to the congress stated that Mexico had passed the boundary of the United States, has invaded our territory and shed American blood on American soil.
James K Polk was elected the U.S President on a platform of expansionism who supervised the highest territorial extension of the United States. In 1846, he directed the commander of the army in Texas to lead his troops in the disputed lands between the two rivers Rio Grande and Nueces. A few months later, He sent a mission under the leadership of John Slidell ( a congressman) to Mexico to buy the disputed territory along the Texas- Mexican frontier. Following the failure of the mission Polk in 1846, He <u>managed to use the news of the encounter inside the disputed area between the forces of Taylor and Mexican's, to achieve the support of Congress for its declaration of war against Mexico.</u>

Answer:
b. Critics of the government were murdered or imprisoned.
Explanation:
Here is an in-depth explanation for my answer. These have neither dates nor real evidence to back them up, so you will have to find any sources to back up my claims on your own. You're also free to disagree or edit my take of Stalin's totalitarianism; my aim here is just to give a starting point for you to build off of and make your own.
a. Peasants owned land that they could farm.
- Communism and really socialism as a whole brought forth an idea that there should be no privately owned land; any and all land was owned by the federal government, and people simply used it. So, even with little historical knowledge on Stalinism, we can assume this answer is incorrect.
b. Critics of the government were murdered or imprisoned.
- Under Stalinism, there was no room for critique of government. Any party leaders and any critics of Stalinism with goals set on exposing corruption and flaws in current Soviet society were later found dead or jailed, peasants were imprisoned and put into forced labor if they went against the state and also sometimes killed off if they were thought of as spies. In the end, Stalin attempted complete removal of any opposition he may have faced, and used fear tactics to control the Soviet Union as its dictator.
c. Voters could choose between candidates from two political parties.
- Voters could not find any candidats that weren't already killed off by Stalin, so there was no one to vote for other than Stalin himself. Sure, they could vote, but there wasn't a political party other than Stalin's that could grab the brainwashed public's vote.
d. The government set up a court system based on truth and justice.
- If there was a court system to be found in the Soviet Union at the time, it was so unnoteworthy it may as well have not existed in the first place. The "court system" under Stalin rule was basically just an extension of Stalin's power, and Stalin always made sure that any decision was made with his consent or with his consent in mind.
