Which geographic feature helped isolate Japan?

Scrat [10]

The answer is of course B - water.

Japan is consisted out of four big islands (Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu). While each of them also has their own small characteristics, separate from each other, Japan has in general been isolated due to its specific geographical environment. Not being connected to any landmass such as neighbouring China, the only contact they could have had was by boat. And travelling by boat has always been more difficult compared to packing your stuff and going somewhere.

The Supreme Court justices are more willing to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional than to strike down presidential action

pishuonlain [190]

The supreme court tends to check congress more than the president because congress passes laws, which change the way the courts work in this country, so the supreme court is a major stake holder in what gets passed through acts of congress. Most of the time, a president is checked by the court through a bill they've thrown serious political muscle behind and gotten passed through congress. Great examples of the supreme court striking down presidentially endorsed acts of congress is the court striking down the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and the national Recovery Administration that FDR pushed for as part of the New Deal. This also nearly happened in recent times with Obamacare, where several components of the bill narrowly avoided being struck down by the supreme court. The supreme court can also check executive orders. The supreme court also struck down some elements of President Trump's muslim ban in the last month.

What negotiations would you suggest for countries who are hostile toward each other

mina [271]

I would strongly suggest indaba. It allows each country to be heard and they can come to a conclusion quickly. They can only voice their opinion in a certain way. A country gives their Red Line in a diplomatic way and the other can respond with their hard limits.

Chief Joseph:a. advocated greater federal control of Indians. b. wanted freedom for his people, the Nez Percé. c. was at the Lit

aev [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Chief Joseph wanted freedom for his people, the Nez Perce.

Explanation:

Chief Joseph was the leader of the Indian tribe Nez Perce. He was a supporter of peaceful relations with the Americans, but entered the history of the 19th century as one of the greatest military leaders of the Indians of North America.

After the death of his father in 1871, Joseph became a leader. In 1877, the government, under pressure from white settlers and gold miners, decided to evict the remaining Nez Perce in Idaho in the Wallow Valley. The task was entrusted to US Army General Oliver Howard. The general met with Joseph and other Nez Perce leaders in order to try to reach a peaceful settlement. But the negotiations were disrupted by a clash between several young Indians and some white settlers, with both sides suffering losses. Oliver Howard decided to act by force and began to prepare for a war with the Indians, which became known as the Nez Perce War.

He was defeated, but American military commander Nelson Miles promised the people of Joseph that they would be returned to Idaho to reserve the tribe, but the US government sent them to the Native American Territory. Chief Joseph traveled to Washington twice and did everything to help his people return to the north.

In 1897, Chief Joseph observed that white settlers began to settle on the free lands of the Colville Reservation. Local authorities did not pay attention to this, and he went to Washington. In the U.S. capital, he described the situation to President William McKinley and met with Nelson Miles and Oliver Howard, and in the late winter of 1903, Joseph again took a trip east and, accompanied by General Miles, met with President Theodore Roosevelt.

Chief Joseph died on September 21, 1904 at Colville Reservation, and on June 20, 1905 his remains were solemnly reburied.
