Answer:

The Iran-Contra affair was one of the biggest political scandals of American politics in the 1980s. It erupted in November 1986 when it came to light that then-President Ronald Reagan and several leading members of his administration were involved in the clandestine sale of arms to Iran, which was then subject to an arms embargo. Their plan was to improve relations with Iran, which was to lead to the release of six American hostages held by the Lebanese group Hezbollah. The plan soon turned into a hostage trade, and part of the proceeds were to be diverted to fund the Contras group, an anti-communist guerrilla in Nicaragua. Although Reagan was a supporter of the Contra, due to the mystery that still surrounds the case, there is currently no solid evidence that he approved the funding.

Reagan admitted in a televised address that the sale of weapons had taken place, denying the hostage trade. Several commissions of inquiry were set up, but found no direct connection, as Reagan's aides destroyed or concealed a large number of documents.

Tomtit [17]

Both the republic and state granted lands for military service in the form of bounty and donation grants.

"By an act of 1879 certificates for an additional 640 acres were granted under stringent restrictions to indigent veterans of the Texas Revolution. Bounty and donation grants for military service amounted to a total of 3,149,234 acres."

Basically, as a reward or an incentive for their service in multiple battles.

The constitution fixes the problem of the articles of confederation by providing for checks and balances and separation of powers.

The separation of powers consists in the assignment of government functions to different bodies. These bodies are classified into Legislative, Executive and Judiciary.

Republic opposes tyrannical, despotic, autocratic and absolutist forms of government. In this sense, at first, the monarchy in the weak sense is not opposed to the republic in the strong sense. Republicanism is a theory about the strong sense of the republic.
