Answer:
The answer to your question is trade, hope this helps :)
D. that she may profit from the building project
Look at the evidence within the question information. The author has 20 years of experience in construction and owns a local construction company. So if the city or town is considering a building initiative that will cost the town millions of dollars, the author of the editorial quite possibly hopes to bid for some of that construction work. It would be very good for her business.
Now, the fact that a construction company owner favors the building initiative doesn't mean her views should be rejected simply because of her position in the construction industry. If her views are valid and provide solid arguments in favor of the project, those views should be considered on their merits. At the same time, perspectives from other local citizens should be considered too, in terms of environmental impact of the project, costs and affordability, how the building initiative will benefit residents of the community, etc.
It would be the "Interstate Clause" that does not support the authority of
<span>the national government, since this is simply the "Commerce Clause". The interstate aspect did not occur until later. </span>
The main way in which a desire to build a stronger nation might affect a
ruler's decision to become a protestant or a catholic is because he or
she would want to "become" the religion that is favored most in the
country, as to eliminate any political dissent by the people.
