On March 2, 1901, the Platt Amendment was passed as part of the 1901 Army Appropriations Bill. It stipulated seven conditions for the withdrawal of United States troops remaining in Cuba at the end of the Spanish–American War, and an eighth condition that Cuba sign a treaty accepting these seven conditions. On May 22, 1903 the treaty was signed between U.S. and Cuba to protect Cuba´s independence from foreign intervention and permitting extensive U.S. involvement in Cuban international and domestic affairs for the enforcement of Cuban independence.
The Impact:
Ironically The Platt Amendment was used by the U.S. for the Second Occupation of Cuba from 1906 to 1909. On September 29, 1906, Secretary of War (and future U.S. president) William Howard Taft initiated the Second Occupation of Cuba when he established the Provisional Government of Cuba under the terms of the treaty (Article three), declaring himself Provisional Governor of Cuba. On October 23, 1906, President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 518, ratifying the order
Answer:
C. The committee determines how to report the bill to Congress.
Explanation:
The meeting of the Estates-General in 1789 was convened by King Louis XVI (B). It was an attempt to solve the financial crisis France was in.
In 1789 France was in crisis. Agriculture wasn’t doing well and the price of the bread soared. Poor people paid the largest part of taxes and practically sustained the aristocracy. The country was broke because of all the wars it had participated in the last years.
Due to the financial crisis, Louis XVI convened the Estates-General, a great assembly composed by the clergy (first estate), the aristocracy (second estate) and the ordinary people (third estate). Throughout the country, people met and registered in <em>cahiers</em> or register books their problems with the government that were to be taken to the main assembly.
The ordinary people, noticing they would lose any polling since they had one vote against two (first and second estates'), left the Estates-General and assembled in a tennis court nearby declaring themselves the National Assembly.
The refusal of the ordinary people to take part in a political event that would maintain that society was still divided in estates is an illustration of the transformation French Revolution was causing. From then on society was no longer organized and perceived as it were in medieval times. That was one of the beginnings of Modernity.
