The correct answer is C because <u>“the articles threatened national security”</u> best described why the government tried to prevent the New York Times from publishing articles on the Vietnam War.

President Nixon became very unhappy when he saw the publication of pentagon papers on the front page of the newspaper.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Daniel Ellsberg, who was a former government official leaked what was termed "classified information" to the media.

The document published by the New York Times detailed the US government involvement in the Vietnam War.

In a bid to prevent the publication, President Nixon approached the court and got an injunction.

Also, to counter the court injunction, the New York Times filed a lawsuit in a federal court to vacate the injunction order.

On its part, the federal government argued that the publication of the pentagon papers threatened national security and that it has the authority to stop its publication.

After going back and forth on the court case, the Supreme Court gave a landmark judgment and ruled in favor of the New York Times.  

The media described the ruling as a win for the first amendment.

Daniel Ellsberg was later charged to court but freed as a result of government misconduct during the trial.

What are reasoms isreal was established
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War I, the British assumed control of Palestine. In November 1917, the British government issued the Balfour Declaration, announcing its intention to facilitate the "establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people." In 1922, the League of Nations granted Britain a mandate over Palestine which included, among other things, provisions calling for the establishment of a Jewish homeland, facilitating Jewish immigration and encouraging Jewish settlement on the land.

The Arabs were opposed to Jewish immigration to Palestine and stepped up their attacks against the Jews. Following an increase in Arab attacks, the British appointed a royal commission in 1936 to investigate the Palestine situation. The Peel Commission recommended the partition of the country between Arabs and Jews. The Arabs rejected the idea while the Jews accepted the principle of partition.

At the end of World War II, the British persisted in their immigration restrictions and Jewish survivors of the Holocaust were violently turned away from the shores of Palestine. The Jewish Agency and the Haganah continued to smuggle Jews into Palestine. Underground cells of Jews, most notably the Irgun and Lehi, engaged in open warfare against the British and their installations.

The British concluded that they could no longer manage Palestine and handed the issue over to the United Nations. On November 29, 1947, after much debate and discussion, the UN recommended the partition of Palestine into two states ­ one Jewish and one Arab. The Jews accepted the UN resolution while the Arabs rejected it.

Meanwhile, since the time of the British Mandate, the Jewish community in Palestine had been forming political, social and economic institutions that governed daily life in Palestine and served as a pre-state infrastructure. Zionist leader David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973) served as head of the pre-state government.

The British mandate over Palestine officially terminated at midnight, May 14, 1948. Earlier in the day, at 4:00 p.m., David Ben-Gurion proclaimed the creation of the State of Israel and became its first prime minister. Longtime advocate of Zionism in Britain Chaim Weizmann (1874-1952) became Israel's first president. On May 15, the United States recognized the State of Israel and the Soviet Union soon followed suit.
The fledgling State of Israel was faced with many challenges. While fighting a war of survival with the Arab states who immediately invaded the new nation, Israel had to also absorb the shiploads of immigrants coming in daily to the Jewish homeland. Many were penniless refugees from Europe broken in body and in spirit. They needed immediate health and social services in addition to acculturation to their new home.

What prevented the gulf coast as much agulture as pinney woods
Colt1911 [192]

The Gulf Coast region of the U.S. is the area limited by the shoreline of the coastal states of United States, being those Texas, Louisiana, Mississipi Alabama and Florida. This Gulf Coast on the Gulf of Mexico is characterized for its tendecy to be hit by hurricanes and this is the reason for having permanent floods and thunderstorms.

Forthis reason, it is reasonable to conclude that the soil is not quite ideal for agriculture as in other areas, so the correct answer to this question is D.Repeated flooding. Absence of irrigation is not quite the case since there are many sources of water in this region, as well as there is plenty of animal life, which does not interfere with agriculture, and finally, this territory has been populated for many native tribes and later from European settlers, so the other options are not really a reasonable choice.
