Presidents Tyler and Jefferson both made executive decisions
Andrej [43]

At the time there was no 25th amendment to tell what would happen if a government official could not serve their term, it was not in the constitution. For Jefferson, there was nothing in the constitution saying whether or not he was allowed to purchase the Louisiana Purchase for the United States, but it ended up doubling the size of the United States.

How did european colonization alter the peoples, cultures, and geographic landscape of North America?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The European presence in America spurred countless changes in the environment, negatively affecting native animals as well as people. The popularity of beaver-trimmed hats in Europe, coupled with Native Americans’ desire for European weapons, led to the overhunting of beavers in the Northeast. Soon, beavers were extinct in New England, New York, and other areas. With their loss came the loss of beaver ponds, which had served as habitats for fish as well as water sources for deer, moose, and other animals. Furthermore, Europeans introduced pigs, which they allowed to forage in forests and other wildlands. Pigs consumed the foods on which deer and other indigenous species depended, resulting in scarcity of the game native peoples had traditionally hunted.

European ideas about owning land as private property clashed with indigenous people's understanding of land use. Native Americans did not believe in private ownership of land; instead, they viewed land as a resource to be held in common for the benefit of the group. Colonizers erected fields, fences, and other means of demarcating private property. Indigenous people who moved seasonally to take advantage of natural resources now found areas off-limits, claimed by colonizers.

3. Explain three examples of similarities between the American and Latin American revolutions and three
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Three similarities:

  • Lack of representation was a motivating factor for the revolutions in both regions. Neither the Latin American colonists nor the American colonists had seats in the parliaments of the European colonial powers they belonged to.
  • None of the revolutions were peaceful, all the colonies had to wage war against their colonial masters. Mexico and Perú, the two most important Spanish colonies, underwent particularly bloody wars.
  • Fiscal difficulties helped bring about the revolutions: England was almost bankrupt because of the French-Indian War, and raised taxes on the American colonies, which angered the American leaders, and Spain was conquered by Napoleon, who raised taxes on the Latin American colonies.

Three differences:

  • The American revolution occurred decades earlier. The United States became an independent nation in 1776. By 1820, 44 years later, over half of Latin American colonies were still fighting for independence.
  • The American revolution did not have any direct historic event as inspiration, because of how early it came about, meanwhile, the Latin American revolutions were greatly inspired by both the American revolution and the French revolution.
  • The American revolution led to the formation of a federal state, most of the Latin American revolutions resulted in the formation of centralized states inspired by the French style of administration.

How is the next step in the law-making process similar at the state and federal levels?
Alchen [17]

Answer: The legislative process is basically the same on the state and federal level. Like the federal government, most state legislatures have two chambers, a House of Representatives (or Assembly) and a Senate. Both chambers must pass the legislation, wherever you start the process.
