6 0

A bill is drafted by members of Congress, the Executive Branch or an outside group and a Representative introduces it in the House. The Speaker of the House sends the bill to a committee. If it passes, it goes to Rules Committee, which decides the rules for and timing of debate. House debates the bill. If a majority votes in favor, it goes to the Senate. A Senator introduces the bill, which is sent to a committee. If the committee majority votes for the bill, it goes to the whole Senate. Majority floor leader decides when the whole Senate will consider the bill

Before a bill can become a law, it must be approved by the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, and the President and they all have to agree or else the bill gets vetoed, which means it gets rejected.

What are you views/opinions on how America handled its acquisition of the various territories from the late 1800's until 1914?

lana66690 [7]

America handled its acquisition of new territories from the late 1800's to 1914 very well, using diplomacy, and making specific distinctions about the territories, their status, and their governing.

Explanation:

Since its establishing as an independent country, the United States has had an expansionist policy so that it can become a large, powerful country. Playing very smartly diplomatically and using the right moments, the American politicians managed to acquire lot of territory from Spain (Florida), Mexico (western, southwestern, and northwestern US), France (French Louisiana), and Russia (Alaska), significantly increasing the territory and the country's power.

In the late 1800's, what is now the United States has pretty much already been under the governing of the United States, with several minor acquisitions happening in meantime. All territorial acquisitions in this period were islands, such as:

Puerto Rico
the Philippines
Guam
Wake Islands etc.

Some of these territories were planned for acquisition, while some were not. This led to the creation of different policies for different places, careful managing of the territories, and establishing a specific legal status.
