History

AURORKA [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Wind power has been used as long as humans have put sails into the wind. For more than two millennia wind-powered machines have ground grain and pumped water. Wind power was widely available and not confined to the banks of fast-flowing streams, or later, requiring sources of fuel. Wind-powered pumps drained the polders of the Netherlands, and in arid regions such as the American mid-west or the Australian outback, wind pumps provided water for livestock and steam engines.

Which expressed power did Thomas Jefferson utilize by forming a treaty for the Louisiana Purchase from France?
ladessa [460]

Answer: A) elastic clause

Explanation:

The powers of Congress as stated by the Constitution of the United States are limited which means that sometimes, Congress may not have the Constitutional power to carry out some duties necessary for them to fulfil some of their mandate.

This is where the Elastic Clause comes in. The Elastic clause gives Congress the flexibility it needs by allowing it to do what it must in order to carry out its duties.

President Jefferson used this clause in the Louisiana Purchase because the Constitution did not give either him or Congress the power to buy land but by using the Elastic Clause he was able to do so.
