Answer:

To help the Contras in Nicaragua

Explanation:

This event is part of Irangate as it was known by the media.

Oliver North's objective as a representative of some branches of the United States power (CIA) was to sell arms to Iran in order to finance the Nicaraguan Contras, which were right-wing paramilitary and anti-communist groups that aimed at fighting the FSNL (Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional) for power in Nicaragua, the FSNL was a communist guerrilla. The United States saw this as an intrusion into its adjacent geopolitical sphere from communism and in the context of the Cold War acted in a questionable way to avoid that event . The money generated by the sale of weapons was administered by Oliver North who provided these funds to the Contras.

igomit [66]
<span>This tone of strict construction of the Constitution was fairly consistent with the interpretation of the Constitution. A primary example of this would be the case Marbury v. Madison, in which the Supreme Court gave itself the right to Judicial Review. This mean that instead of giving the Federal Government a wide and vague range of power, the Supreme Court would act as a check and balance to that power.</span>
