The correct answer is A. To explain why rights were being reserved for citizens rather than the government.
Indeed, the context of the Bill of Rights was that the articles of Confederation that were used to regulate relations between the states were insufficient as the federal government that was supposed to enforce them was actually weakened by them. The Philadelphia Convention was organized to fix these articles but it was finally decided that they would be replaced with the Constitution. However, the great fear of Anti-Federalists was that such Constitution would give too much power to the President and thus it had to be counterbalanced by strong Individual rights for American Citizens. Thus, this particular Fifth Amendment was intended to establish several constitutional rights and judicial protections for American citizens such as:
- The Right to be judged by a Grand Jury of one’s peers.
- The Infamous crime clause.
- The Double Jeopardy Clause (right not to be tried twice for the same offense).
- The Right not to be forced self-incriminate legally.
- The Due Process Clause (right not to be arrested, prosecuted or incarcerated without valid legal justification and trial).
- The Takings Clause (the right not to be dispossessed of one’s property arbitrarily or without proper monetary compensation).

Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation:
</u>
Communication is the soul of trade and commerce. The usage of a common writing system in China allowed traders and merchants from across the country to understand the nuances of trade and communicate with each other without much problem, no matter which part of the country the traders came from.
The ease of doing business dispensed by a common writing system allowed the contemporary markets to prosper and grow big enough to attract traders and merchants from all over the world.
Having a common system of coins acted like conventionally accepted currency and made day-to-day business much easier. The value of the coins being predetermined, no problems arose in their exchange of products and services.
Well, that would really depend. The media's coverage at the time (It is important to remember that the Watergate Scandal happened at different times, thus different media) may have been exaggerated. One major effect of the scandal however, was that it caused President Nixon to resign from office.
Answer: A monarch made key political decisions based on input from advisors.
During the 1800s, most of Europe was still governed by monarchs. However, the republican, democratic example of the United States was heavily influential in liberal circles. Conservatives at that time period wanted to protect the institution of monarchy. So out of the options, it is more likely that conservatives would have supported keeping the monarch, while receiving input from advisors.
