1 answer:

5 0

The only correct answer is the first statement, A. This war is considered by most historians as the entry of the United States in the age of New Imperialism.

New Imperialism is how historians call several European and other nations like the U.S. colonizing territories throughout the world to get access to more consumer markets and source materials.

The Spanish-American war is better classified as the Spanish-American-Cuban-Filipino War. This way we don't lose sight of all the interests and nations that were involved.

After the war of 1898, the U.S. had new territories that would support new areas of commerce. Hawaii, for example, was annexed in this context and served to protect American ships that started to continuously pass by. Puerto Rico and Cuba gave access to Latin America markets. Hawaii, Guam, and Philippines opened access to China.

The Nuremberg Laws stated all Jewish citizens

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

C. In one part of town (ghetto).

Explanation:

The 1935 Nuremberg Laws, an anti-Semitic law designed and executed by the German Nazi government was one of the harshest and initial acts of racial discrimination against the Jewish people. This law would become the base for which a citizen of Germany is accepted or not as a legal citizen or be termed as a Jew.

According to this law, the definition of a Jew is someone who is born not only a Jew but also has Jewish grandparents. Moreover, it also termed a person a Jew even if that person does not follow the Jewish religious beliefs. Also, they were made to live in one part of the town where they were grouped and put together, and not mix with the 'common' German people.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

What might have happened if the National Government could only legislate based on what is specifically in the Constitution?

EastWind [94]

The amount of territory the US currently has would have been completely different if the national government could only legislate based on what is written in the constitution.

A perfect example of this is the power to purchase land/territories from other countries. This was first done by Thomas Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The US Constitution does not say that the president has the power to buy land from other countries. However, Jefferson said that this power was "implied" by the Constitution.

This idea of an implied power greatly changed the presidency/national government. Several presidents after Jefferson would follow his lead by making deals with countries for territory.

If it wasn't for this concept of implied powers, the US may not have grown to the 50 states we know it as today.
