Which of the following explains why the Soviet Union decided to place nuclear missiles in Cuba before the Cuban Missile Crisis?

History
1 answer:
Slav-nsk [51]3 years ago
8 0
<span>C. Cuba's communist leaders demanded Soviet military support after U.S.-trained soldiers had invaded Cuba.

The invasion of US-trained soldiers occurred in 1961 -- The Bay of Pigs Invasion.  Cuban exiles trained by the USA's Central Intelligence Agency aimed to overthrow the communist government of Fidel Castro in Cuba, but failed.

Cuba requested that the USSR, as its communist sponsor, place missiles in Cuba to deter further US-sponsored action against the Castro regime.  That request, coupled with the fact of American missiles that were located in Europe, within striking distance of the USSR, prompted Nikita Khrushchev of the USSR to send the missiles to Cuba.

What problems did the patronage system create?
Iteru [2.4K]
In politics, the patronage system which was based around the spoils of war mentality caused problems of having unqualified and corrupt officials in government positions because they would get there only because they were close to the ruling party or the ruler. This was common before the merit system.

explain the differences between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey plan. how were these differences resolved
Delicious77 [7]
Both plans involved how the new Constitution would define representation in Congress. The Virginia Plan proposed that the number of delegates be based upon population, thus favoring larger states with more people. The New Jersey Plan proposed that each state have an equal number of delegates, thus favoring smaller states with fewer people. 

Under the Virginia Plan, a state like Virginia would have had a much greater say in Congress than smaller New Jersey since Virginia had a larger population. Under the New Jersey Plan, New Jerseyans would have had a disproportionate say relative to Virginians. Consider this, if each state had two delegates (under the NJ Plan) let's say New Jersey had 500,000 people and Virginia had 1,000,000 (not the real numbers). With two delegates, New Jersey would have had 1 say in Congress per 250,000 voters while Virginia would have had 1 say in Congress per 500,000 voters. 

These differences were resolved by creating a bicameral legislature. Today, the House of Representatives is a remnant of the Virginia Plan. States with larger populations have more seats in the House than those with smaller populations. For example, California has far more Representatives than Wyoming meaning California has a much greater say in the House. The Senate, on the other hand, is a remnant of the New Jersey Plan. Each state has two Senators regardless of population, which means each state has an equal say. Again, California has two Senators and Wyoming has two Senators despite the fact that California is much larger than Wyoming - this gives Wyoming a much greater say per voters than California. No law can pass through Congress without approval from both chambers of Congress, which means that smaller states are not overpowered, while larger states still have the ability to set the agenda.
