The Gulf of Tonkin incident occurred in the Gulf of Tonkin off of the coast of North Vietnam. 

The citizens were told the North Vietnamese communists violently attacked a US ship which was peacefully existing to aid South Vietnam. It was presented as a direct threat to the US and a means for war. 

The ship was in North Vietnamese territory and was alone away from the rest of the US fleet in South Vietnam. The US was not peaceful as they were attacking the North and supplying the South putting them directly in the war. 

Per the Constitution--war is to be asked for by the executive and approved by Congress with an official declaration of war. However, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution gave permission to Johnson to use war materials and practices without an official declaration of war. This prevented allies from entering the war but allowed the US to engage in war behavior under the executive orders.

Why did many Americans object to the Alien and Sedition Acts?
vodomira [7]

Americans object to the Alien and Sedition Acts as "The acts violated a basic civil right that was guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution".

<u>Answer:</u> Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The government had to make absolutely sure that its activities were not denounced and publicly condemned as expected from a time of war, for this reason the 1918 Sedition Act was established. This act stretched sanctions for those who hinder the sale of war bonds by the government, or for saying, writing, or printing anything "unfair, profane, scurrilous, or abusive" regarding the American form of government, the Constitution, or the army and navy.

When predicted, this Act is perceived by many Americans to be a violation of civil rights because it breached freedom of speech and freedom of the press, now that the government can judge something. As the first right of amendment is freedom of the press, and speech these acts (Specifically the Sedition Act) have limited it.

Three innovations in transportation during the 1800s
tresset_1 [31]
The two major advances in transportation that took place during the 1800s were the steamboat and the train.
In the United States at the beginning of the 1800s, essentially all transportation was either by animal power or by wind power (sails)  Other boats could go down rivers, but not back up them.  Nothing could go overland except if it was pulled by animals.
The invention of the steamboat changed this so that boats could go either direction on rivers.  When railroads were first built and later expanded, the problem of moving goods and people overland was solved too.
