The system of checks and balances is the American Federal Government's way of ensuring that each branch has its own responsibilities but also has responsibilities, limits, and obligations as it pertains to the other branches of government.
This has worked well for most of the country's history but since the 1930s, the Presidency/Executive branch has become the branch that is possibly more powerful than the rest, especially in the minds of the people.
This is seen in the modern era, with the Presidency leading legislative pushes and leading their parties representatives in the House and Senate.
To fix this, the first step would be for the Senate to regain its authority when it comes to Foreign Affairs. Starting in the 1950s, the Executive branch used legal but suspect schemes to circumvent Congress' singular right to Declare war.
So, for the last 17 years, America has been fighting a war on terrorism without a Congressional declaration of war. The last time Congress declared war was in 1942, so Korea/Vietnam/Gulf War I/etc. were all accomplished without a Congressional declaration.
What we will need to see if Congress stepping up and acting like a co-equal branch of Government, instead of a branch subservient to the interests of the executive branch.
Have no clue. I dont ever remember studying that.
Carl Vinson was extremely supportive of the US Navy in their roll of defense, however, though this is the case he never favored the financial gain of under US military branches to aggregate the Naval funds at the time. So the first answer, answer A, if false. Though Carl Vinson was pro Navy, this didn't mean that the Navy could start retiring it men, the number stayed roughly the same, because of course we had people actually retiring or enlisting. This makes option B false. Other nations were always a threat, maybe no apparent to the US but seeing how the United States reacts to situations, this is a gross understatement. Option C is false. His efforts DID in fact help naval expansion needed in order to defend Pearl Harbor during attack. Option D is correct.
The late Ming peasant rebellions (明末民變) were a series of peasant revolts during the last decades of the Ming dynasty lasting from 1628–1644.
This is a Supply and Demand relationship. When a company produces large amounts of an item it's cost is normally decreased due to a larger stock. On the other hand, when supply decreases and the need for the item goes up, the item is more expensive.
