What impact would valuable goods like cotton have on European struggles for power in the Americas?

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Valuable goods like cotton were essentially the main drivers of conflict between European Countries in the Americas.

The reason why European Countries established colonies in the Americas in the first place was to obtain valuable goods that could only be produced or found there: goods like cotton, rice and sugarcane.

The possession of territories were these goods were produced often resulted in armed conflict. The French-Indian war, which occurred two decades before the American Revolution, is an example.

Which principle of the government ensured that executive power was limited by the judicial branch

dem82 [27]

Answer:

The legislative branch makes laws, but the President in the executive branch can veto those laws with a Presidential Veto.

The legislative branch makes laws, but the judicial branch can declare those laws unconstitutional.

The executive branch, through the Federal agencies, has responsibility for day-to-day enforcement and administration of Federal laws. These Federal departments and agencies have missions and responsibilities that vary widely, from environmental protection to protecting the Nation’s borders.

The President in the executive branch can veto a law, but the legislative branch can override that veto with enough votes.

The legislative branch has the power to approve Presidential nominations, control the budget, and can impeach the President and remove him or her from office.

The executive branch can declare Executive Orders, which are like proclamations that carry the force of law, but the judicial branch can declare those acts unconstitutional.

The judicial branch interprets laws, but the President nominates Supreme Court justices, court of appeals judges, and district court judges who make the evaluations.

The judicial branch interprets laws, but the Senate in the legislative branch confirms the President’s nominations for judicial positions, and Congress can impeach any of those judges and remove them from office.
