Which account is a form of grassroots activism that supported or opposed same sex marriage?
NemiM [27]

The correct answer is D.) Court clerks refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

The definition of grassroots activism is a movement that is born out of the personal convictions of an individual or a group of individuals about a particular issue and that is not originated in the will of an established political movement or leader (s). It is considered that a grassroots movement is spontaneously created by the will of ordinary citizens who want to make their voices hear about a particular issue and although its later stages may involve participation of political groups or leaders, the initiative for its inception was the concerns of ordinary citizens. This answer is a direct reference to the case of Sandra Davis, a Kentucky country Clerk that refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses due to her own personal convictions and in the name of "religious liberty". Her initiative was purely personal and was not the result of organized political efforts.

likoan [24]

Answer: The United States paid Mexico $15 million dollars for land obtained as a result of the end of the war.

The United States gains territory in present-day California, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming.

  • Before the conflict began, the Americans offered the Mexicans a much higher figure, which they refused. As Mexico was defeated in the war in peace talks, they accepted value of about $ 18 million. The US government has also agreed to take on the Mexican government's debt to the people who lived in the US-owned territory.
  • These territories belonged to America at the end of the war. America allocated the figure mentioned above for these territories and paid the Mexican authorities. The agreement, therefore, gave America a complete area of today's Texas. And the natural boundary between the two countries on the Rio Grande River has also been determined.
