The power of Congress that allows them to declare war is <u>Number 11</u>.

It gives them the right to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The United States Congress has declared war 11 times since its creation against:

  • England in 1812;
  • Mexico in 1846;
  • Spain in 1898;
  • Germany in 1917 during the First World War;
  • Japan, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania between 1941 and 1942 during the Second World War.

Generally, it was the President of the United States as the chief of the armies, who asks the Congress for authorization to declare war. The President can ask them to support the continuation of military operations during the conflict as well. It was particularly the case during the Vietnam War and the Gulf War.

Another list of 18 powers of the Congress which contains other points concerning the war, such as:

12: Raise and support armies.

13: Provide and maintain a navy.

14: Make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.

15: Provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrection and repel invasions.

16: Provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia.

Cities such as Genoa and Venice have a long
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: Merchants originated in the Middle Ages.

Explanation:

Traditionally, Genoese and Venetians were good merchants. Trade has developed in this area since the 9th century. Geographical location, the wealth of areas were some of the factors that influenced the development of trade. During the Middle Ages, the Venetian Republic (Venice) was the largest naval power in the Mediterranean. It is a country whose seat was Venice and spread to Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Greece, and Italy(only to parts of these countries, not the whole territory).

Trade activities were at their peak. They traded with everyone and even with the Ottomans, who were the traditional enemies of these cities/states. Countries traded in luxury goods. They achieved great wealth during the Crusades, transported the European army, and thus earned huge money. The contingent of their army also took part in those campaigns, so they gained enormous wealth.

What was the difference between Thomas Newcomen's and James Watt's steam engine?.
jok3333 [9.3K]

The steam engine of Thomas Newcomen and James Watt used the same principle of creating a vacuum  and using steam to drive the device. The difference is that in James Watt's version, he uses a separate condenser to allow for a much greater efficiency in terms of power. The main difference with a separate condenser is that with a separate condenser, the main device can remain hot at all times, thus increasing efficiency.
