Answer:

The scandal of the second Reagan administration involving sales of arms to Iran in partial exchange for release of hostages in Lebanon and use of the arms money to aid the Contras in Nicaragua, which had been expressly forbidden by Congress was the Iran-Contra Affair.

Explanation:

The Iran-Contra scandal (also known as "Irangate") was based on the secret arms trade of President Ronald Reagan administration to Iran during the bloody war with his neighbor Saddam Hussein in Iraq between 1980 and 1988. Proceeds from the arms trade were channeled to the Contra guerrillas in Nicaragua. The stores were supposed to influence in two ways:

-Affects Iran, which had influence over Hezbollah, which held several US hostages in Lebanon.

-Support the anti-communist guerrilla war in Nicaragua.

The deals were made in contravention of congressional decisions banning the financing of Contra-guerrillas and the sale of weapons to Iran. In addition, both arms sales and support for guerrillas were at odds with UN sanctions.

The correct answer to this question is "the Iran-Contras Affair."

The Iran-Contras Affair or "Irangate", was the scandal of the second Reagan administration involving sales of arms to Iran in partial exchange for the release of hostages in Lebanon and use of the arms money to aid the Contras in Nicaragua.

This affair involved secretly sell weapons to Lebanon to free American hostages in that place, but the money was also used to support the Contras in Nicaragua, in Central America. The scandal heavily affected the presidency of Ronald Reage, becoming a mediatic issue because Reagan secretly instructed to Robert McFarland, National Security Advisor, to keep on sending weapons to the Nicaragua Contras.

Explain the principle of checks and balances as it relates to the power of the president. Provide one example to support your ex
Scrat [10]
Checks and Balances was designed to keep each branch from assuming too much power. Presidential power is checked and balanced in many ways. While he can veto various bills and keep them from becoming laws, he can be overridden by a 2/3 vote in both houses. SO if the Congress feels like the President is over stepping his bounds then they can in turn overrule him. The Supreme Court is also in the mix in that if they deem a law to be unconstitutional then they can rule it so and the law is no more. Presidents can influence Supreme Courts by whom they nominate for open positions (or in the case of one President, attempt to add more judges to the Court). However, after the nomination is made and the Senate approves and confirms them then they are free. The only way a Judge can be removed is they are found to be doing something illegal, deemed incompetent and unable to continue doing their job, resign, or die. This allows judges to "operate outside the realm of politics." The idea is that they can focus and not worry about politics and we can assume that decisions will be made free from political influences and bribery.

What were the Weaknesses of the Article of Confederation?
babunello [35]

Answer:

Congress had no power to coin money, therefore each state developed its own currency. Congress was unable to regulate interstate and foreign commerce; some states refused to pay for goods they purchased from abroad. Congress was unable to impose taxes; it could only borrow money on credit.
