Answer:
because the sun and moon exist
Explanation:
The correct answer is salutary neglect. The name of the policy came from a speech that the philosopher Edmund Burke gave to Parliament in the 1700s. A policy then emerged wherein the colonies were, more or less, left alone. Certainly more than they would have been as a subservient colony to the Crown.
Correct answer: C. The 2001 terrorist attacks in New York.
Details:
The Homeland Security Act, which created the Department of Homeland Security, was passed in 2002, following the September 11, 2001 attacks by terrorists against the United States, which involved hijacking planes and flying them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The Department of Homeland Security describes its mission as ensuring "a homeland that is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards."
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Title I, Section 101), listed the top three priorities of the Department of Homeland Security as:
- (A) prevent terrorist attacks within the United States;
- (B) reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism;
- (C) minimize the damage, and assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks that do occur within the United States;
Also listed as part of Homeland Security's mission is that it will "monitor connections between illegal drug trafficking and terrorism, coordinate efforts to sever such connections, and otherwise contribute to efforts to interdict illegal drug trafficking."
The Department of Homeland Security also acts "as a focal point regarding natural and manmade crises and emergency planning," and works to coordinate efforts between various agencies and law enforcement agencies in order to achieve its security goals. According to the Department of Homeland Security's own website, the Department of Homeland Security combines "22 different federal departments and agencies into a unified, integrated Cabinet agency."
Note:
Another act passed after the 9-11 attacks, aimed at combating terrorism by whatever means deemed necessary for national security, was the PATRIOT Act. The full name of the act was the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.
The Second Amendment is a fundamental provision of the Bill of rights. It protects the states right to maintain a militia, not an individual's right to possess a firearm. This ruling allowed states to restrict gun ownership and enabled them to pass laws in favour of certain religions, ban some forms of speech and outlaw some kinds of assembly. The Second Amendment in the US constitution confers an individuals right to possess a firearm for traditional lawful practices like self defence.
Answer: They knew they had to unite to avoid defeat.
Explanation:
The Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan swept across the world in the second World War and with overwhelming strength and tactics, overwhelmed many areas that were not supposed to have fallen so easily.
In Europe for instance, the Germans crushed the British and French armies such that France was defeated and occupied in a month and the British had to be evacuated frantically. Germany then went on to conquer most of Europe and began attacking Africa. When they launched an attack into the Soviet Union, they almost captured Moscow.
In Asia, Japan swept across the islands and nations of east Asia and captured massive territories in China as well as capturing the Philippians and Indonesia. They also attacked Hawaii in a bid to destroy the U.S. Pacific fleet.
When the allies saw the massive Axis war machine and power that faced them, they knew they had to unite to stand a chance of winning. This led to the Communist Soviet Union and the Western powers of Britain and the U.S. uniting against the Axis even though they did not trust one another.
