The Supreme Court did not settle the Powell v. Alabama case because it considered that the defendants had not received a fair trial, in accordance with the rule of due process, since the defendants had not had a defense attorney until moments before presenting the evidence. In this way, their right of defense was violated and thus, although the factual evidence incriminated them, the trial was not carried out respecting the rights of the accused.

Under the Alabama statute, the punishment for rape is to be fixed by the jury, and, in its discretion, may be from ten years' imprisonment to death. The juries found defendants guilty and imposed the death penalty upon all. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

Do you think the United States would have gone to war with Spain without the explosion of the Maine? Why or why not?
Crazy boy [7]

The US would have most likely still gone to war with Spain even without the explosion of the USS Maine.

This is due to the fact that US newspapers were constantly writing about and showing pictures of Cuban citizens who were starving, unsafe, and unhealthy under the control of Spain. America's need to help Cuba falls under the idea of the Monroe Doctrine, in which the US is supposed to be the protectorate of the Western hemisphere. This is why the US felt obligated to help Cuba become independent from Spanish colonial control.

This sentiment would have probably drawn the US into war even without the attacking of the USS Maine.

Which is territory became the first state west of the Rocky Mountains due to its rapid increase in population during the mid 180
Andrew [12]
A.) Oregon is the territory that became the first state west of the Rocky Mountains due to its rapid increase in population during the mid 1800s.

In 1842 up to 1843, many settle in the Oregon country. Those settlers used the Oregon trail. The Oregon territory was officially organized in 1848. Population grew because of the Donation Land Claim Act of 1850 and many displaced natives were forced to settle in the reservations in Oregon. Oregon became a state in 1859.
