A reaction to aristocratic power
Answer:
The correct answer is A) Confederate forces invaded Kentucky
Explanation:
Since the beginning of the American Civil War, the commonwealth of Kentucky wanted to remain neutral in the conflict. For some time it stayed out of the conflict saving it the death and destruction that came with the war.
However, things changed when General Leonidas Polk from the Confederate army unsuccessfully tried to invade Kentucky. Once the attack was repelled, the governor of Kentucky asked the Union army for help.
This was welcomed by President Lincoln as he believed Kentucky to be very important if the Union was to be maintained.
Answer:
D) the sixteenth amendment allowed congress to break up monopolies
Explanation:
The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States (Amendment XVI) allows the United States Congress to tax an income tax without apportioning it among the states according to their population or based on the results of a census. This amendment excluded Income Tax from the constitutional requirements of direct taxes, after taxes on income, dividends and interest were qualified as direct taxes by the Supreme Court ruling in the Pollock case against Farmers' Loan & Trust Co. (1895). It was ratified in February 1913.
