Answer:
d) They didn't want to allow another slave state into the country.
Explanation:
The United States went to war against Mexico over the issue of Texas independence from Mexico, and subsequent annexation to the United States, a position that was supported by most of its inhabitants (including those of Mexican descent, also known as Tejanos).
However, the problem was that if Texas was admitted to the United States, it would become a slave state. The Eastern Part of Texas has the same climate and geography as Louisiana or Mississippi, and therefore, large slave plantations could be started there, and the annexation of Texas would then mean that the delicate balance between Free States and Slave States would break in favor of the slaves states. This is essentially what made Congress doubt about going to war with Mexico.
Justice Black, in the landmark case, ruled that students are entitled to exercise their constitutional rights, even while in school. He decided to allow the Tinkers to wear their armbands as a symbol of protest against the Vietnam conflict. Black ruled that the wearing of the armbands would not interfere with the day to day running of the school. Justice Black also noted that school officials did not prohibit the wearing of any other political symbols by students. At the end of his ruling, Justice Black acknowledged that while what gets said by students cannot be regulated, it is a myth to believe that a person has a constitutional right to say what he wants to, when he wants to, and where he wants to.
Answer:
There have been three (3) prominent countries to embark on a Five Year Plan in the 20th century. As I am unsure as to which you refer to, I will give the dates for all three.
Soviet Union
Under Stalin, the U.S.S.R wanted to catch up to the West in terms of production and so embarked on several Five Year Plans. The Second one began in the year <u>1933 and went till 1937.</u>
China
The Chinese copied the Soviet Union in making Five Year plans but never stopped. There has been a Five Year plan since 1953 with the nation being on its fourteenth plan now. The second plan however, lasted from<u> 1958 to 1962. </u>
India
India also emulated this strategy and came up with several Five Year plans with the second running from April <u>1956 to March 1961. </u>
In the late 19th century, immigrants arrived in large numbers on the U.S coast from China for the primary purpose of working on the Transcontinental Railroad.
