The system of checks and balances is the American Federal Government's way of ensuring that each branch has its own responsibilities but also has responsibilities, limits, and obligations as it pertains to the other branches of government.
This has worked well for most of the country's history but since the 1930s, the Presidency/Executive branch has become the branch that is possibly more powerful than the rest, especially in the minds of the people.
This is seen in the modern era, with the Presidency leading legislative pushes and leading their parties representatives in the House and Senate.
To fix this, the first step would be for the Senate to regain its authority when it comes to Foreign Affairs. Starting in the 1950s, the Executive branch used legal but suspect schemes to circumvent Congress' singular right to Declare war.
So, for the last 17 years, America has been fighting a war on terrorism without a Congressional declaration of war. The last time Congress declared war was in 1942, so Korea/Vietnam/Gulf War I/etc. were all accomplished without a Congressional declaration.
What we will need to see if Congress stepping up and acting like a co-equal branch of Government, instead of a branch subservient to the interests of the executive branch.

The correct option is "A. Lusitania "
The sinking of the RMS Lusitania, which occurred off the coast of Ireland on May 7, 1915 due to the attack of a German submarine, was one of the greatest naval disasters to have occurred to a line ship during the First World War.
The Lusitania had the misfortune to fall victim to a torpedo shortly after the start of the First World War, before techniques for the evasion of submarines were implemented. The contemporary investigations of the accident that took place in the United Kingdom and the United States, about the precise causes that had caused the loss of the ship were obstructed due to the necessities of keeping secrets in time of war, as well as to the propaganda campaign parallel to ensure that all the blame fell on the German enemy. The debate over whether the ship was a legitimate military objective continued throughout the war, while both sides made confused statements about the incident. At the time of the sinking, the Lusitania carried on board a large amount of ammunition and military equipment, in addition to civilian passengers. Over the years after the sinking, various attempts have been made to dive into the wreck and gather accurate information about how the ship sank, and the debate continues.
Answer:
I would support the independence of Venezuela to find my happiness and that of those around me.
Explanation:
I would support the independence of the country where I am living.
I would support independence, because when you live in a country, no matter how much money you have, your happiness is made by the people around you.
If you see that the people around you are having a hard time and want an independent country, then you will not be happy.
If you're not happy, it's no use having a lot of money, health, or education.
