History

Maybe while we wait for the questioner to provide the options, we can do a little general discussion here about what it means to use a primary source. Primary sources are things that come from persons directly involved in the events or lives being studied.  So, any diary entries or letters of George Washington himself would count as primary sources.  So would any official proclamations or letters or government documents that came from Washington's pen as president.  Or the testimony of contemporaries of his who lived or worked with him would also count as primary source accounts.

So if you're looking for a historian's use of primary sources, look for the ways in which he's using historical material directly connected to the life of the person being studied.  In fact, if you were able to look at a set of the false teeth George Washington wore, that would be a primary source too.  They have a set at the Mount Vernon home/museum.  And by looking at those actual dentures, you'd see they weren't made out of wood like the old (false) story says!

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points)
Andre45 [30]

The correct answer is “The judicial power ought to be distinct from both the legislative and executive, and independent upon both, that so it may be a check upon both, as both should be checks upon that.” – John Adams.

This would be the correct answer because in this quote John Adams highlights the idea that the independence of the judicial power allows for checks and balances between the three powers.  

The term "Separation of powers" refers to a system in which a state organizes and divides responsibilities.  Creating three different branches which are: the judicial power, the legislative power and the executive power.  In this way each branch carries out their responsibilities independently, promoting a checks and balances system that prevents any of the branches from taking over or interrupting in the other branches' functions.

What was the romantic image of the West, and what was the reality?
svetlana [45]

After the Civil War Americans began considering expanding into the west of the nation. They were inspired by the vast land and excited by its opportunities. This excitement of Manifest Destiny helped to create the American Dream. The Great expanse of the American Midwest was idealized as a vast picturesque, open expanse with the limitless possibility in store for those willing and able to tame the land. The problem was that were was no wood on the plains, Mountains made building the railroad more difficult and the barren, dry landscape made settling a challenge.

Families went to the West excited to create a life of their own out of nothing. The idea of farming brought them a great opportunity. But farming in the Plains revealed to be very challenging. The landscape was incredibly dry and there was a minimal rainfall. Families struggled to keep their crops growing and producing, and when they succeeded, storms often destroyed their harvests.

There was also a myth regarding the Native Americans that pictured them as uncivilized savages. However the Native culture was an advanced and sophisticated one, and the term uncivilized depends on one’s viewpoint. They were always depicted as the villain of the story, often the one-dimensional character that is bent on theft in fictional stories.

Explain two issues with the Articles of Confederation.
Natasha2012 [34]

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation comprised the United States’ first constitution, lasting from 1776 until 1789. The Articles established a weak central government and placed most powers in the hands of the states.

Under the Articles, the US economy faltered, since the central government lacked the power to enforce tax laws or regulate commerce.

Shays’s Rebellion, an uprising of Revolutionary War veterans in Massachusetts that both the state and national governments struggled to address due to a lack of centralized military power, illustrated the need to create a stronger governing system.
