Basic answer: Over expansion

Germany had been deprived of its colonies at the end of WW1 and the vast number of islands the Japanese had captured had been liberated by the US. This led to these places gaining their independence. The main reason though was the British Empire which in a way dissolved. No longer did the sun never set on the British Empire. Basically with the prime example being India The British realized that in a modern world there were other world powers and they had too much land to protect. They had troops in every colony from Atlantic to Pacific and simply couldn’t defend their whole country. This whole idea was brought out by the Second World War and thus after the war many countries gained their independence.

Which of these is a power that the president of the united states can exercise?

3241004551 [841]

D. veto a bill passed by Congress

Even though the President can veto a bill, it can be sent back to Congress if they choose to try to overrule the President's veto. In order for this to happen, both the Senate and the House of Representatives must vote to overrule the President's veto by a 2/3's majority. If that happens, the President's veto is overruled and the bill becomes a law.

The President can NOT declare a federal law unconstitutional nor overturn an unconstitutional state law. The Constitution does not grant the President the power to legislate, rather to execute legislation. Neither does the Constitution of the United States grant courts the power to legislate. The power to legislate was given specifically to Congress. The President does have the right to to submit legislation to Congress.
The Constitution does not give the occupant (the President) of that office the authority to "eliminate" a law that has been passed by Congress, no matter what voters think or believe of that law. The process for repealing a law has to begin in Congress.

The President can NOT vote for a bill that is being discussed in Congress because the Constitution does not grant the President the authority of legislation. The President has the option to veto the bill, after passing through both the House of Representatives and the Senate. But the President may choose to sign or veto the bill. If vetoed, Congress may choose to try to overrule it.

Describe in your own words how sin develops according to James 1:15. Give an example to support your explanation. Use complete s

Daniel [21]

Answer:

According to James 1:15, sin develops from the evil desires of a person (tempted by Satan) and this desire grew into something bigger until it completely overtakes the person and kills him, 'condemned' to eternal death/ suffering without the forgiving grace of God.

Explanation:

James 1: 15 states <em>"Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death."</em>

This is a metaphor for how sin emerges in a person.

James addresses how sin came into the world and entice people to do evil in the eyes of the Lord. According to him, sin develops in a person only from Satan and not from God, <em>"For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone"(1:13)</em>. And when a person is tempted, the sin 'enters' into him, grows inside, and then just like childbirth, gives birth to another sin, or a much bigger sin. This means that sin develops and emerges bigger until it is completely removed and destroyed.

To put it simply, it's like this. A person is tempted by Satan to do sin, be it murder or anything. Then, this desire to do it will lead to an infatuation, of sorts. And once this desire is acted out, it will lead to more sins if not curbed or stopped. And as this sinful act grows, it will mature and eventually lead to the death of the person if he doesn't stop or repent.

Likewise, sin is conceived from the negative desire within a person, which then grows and if not curbed, or repented, it will only lead to the death of the person without the graceful forgiving act of God, and thus, the person becomes eternally dam ned.

While the Marshall Plan was, in part, created to stop the spread of communism, the Molotov Plan was there to encourage it.
