<span>Without amendments, we are stuck with what some guys thought would be nice over 200 years ago. A few things we took out of the constitution by amendment: Slaves count as 3/5 of a person. The incoming president must wait five months after being elected to take office. Electoral college for senators (now--can we get rid of it for presidents?) We also filled in holes that were evident in the constitution, and clarified more rights that people have. The Bill of Rights is all amendments--they wanted a working government first before they decided what limits to put on it. Women were allowed to vote. Someone figured out that if a president becomes sick but doesn't die, the government is in limbo, because the VP couldn't just do the President's job until an amendment was passed saying how it would be determined the Pres was too sick to do his job. Allowing amendments allows mistakes made by the writers of the constitution to be corrected, and for changes they didn't for see to be allowable.</span>

The map shows the union blockade of Florida costs during the Civil War. Which statement best explains why it was hard for the un
EleoNora [17]

Answer: A. Floria has a long coastline, which enabled some ships to sneak past the blockade and supply the confederate.

Explanation:

Soon after the Civil War broke out, General Winfield Scott under his “Anaconda Plan" engaged in a widespread blockade of Confederate Ports to crash their economy and bring about an end to the war faster.

Even though Florida had the lowest population of the Confederate States, the Union recognised that their long coastline would present a logistical problem and blockaded as many ports as they could.

However, because of the long coastline, there were many bays and inlets and thus avenues in that could not be guarded effectively which led to the rise of BLOCKADE RUNNERS who were usually British Citizen owned ships supplying the Confederates from the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands.
