Answer:  

The correct answer is option C.

It showed Europeans were unwilling to allow further Islamic expansion into Europe.

Explanation:

The Battle of Poitiers was fought at Poitiers in 732 CE, France between the armies of France and Spain. The war resulted in the victory of French leader Charles Martel which restricted the advancement of Muslims in the Western European region. Thus the Muslim general  Abd-ar-Rahman was killed in the fight and the Moors were forced to retreat from Gaul, to never return again.

Further explanation:

The Battle of Poitiers, also known as Battle of Tours was significant to drive away the Muslim forces from conquering the regions of Europe and disallow them to further expand their territory in Western Europe. The battle was fought between the French and the Muslim invading forces of Spain. The invasion was a part of the Arab military expansion that was in a crusade to search for new lands and bring an end to the influence of Christianity as a religion. The forces of Abd-er Rahman thus made this attempt after the completion of successive Muslim conquests at Syria, Egypt and North Africa. The Muslims had also further invaded Spain to mark their presence in the West European region.  

Thus, the battle raised the prominence of France in the west European region when the region was alarmed by its presence of Muslim invaders and the battle resulted in the preservation of Christianity as the dominant faith in Europe.

<span>C. It showed that Europeans were unwilling to allow further Islamic expansion into Europe.

The Battle of Poitiers is also known as the Battle of Tours, or (in Arab sources) as the Battle of the Palace of the Marytrs. The leader of the French armies was Charles, the son of Pepin of Herstal, the "majordomo" (Mayor of the Palace) serving kings of the Merovingian dynasty.

He received the nickname "Martel," meaning "The Hammer," for his leadership at the Battle of Tours (or Poitiers) in 732, defeating the forces of the Umayyad Caliphate. Islamic presence was thus kept from advancing further into Europe than the Iberian peninsula at that time.</span>

Why is it easier to change the constitution than it is to pass a law
morpeh [17]
For the United States, it is not.

Article five of the United States Constitution.
"<span>The Congress, whenever </span>two thirds<span> of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose </span>Amendments<span> to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of </span>two thirds<span> of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of</span>three fourths<span> of the several States, or by Conventions in </span>three fourths<span> thereof, as the </span>one<span> or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year </span>One thousand eight hundred and eight<span> shall in any Manner affect the </span>first<span> and </span>fourth<span> Clauses in the </span>Ninth<span> Section of the </span>first<span> Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal </span>Suffrage<span> in the Senate."

This process has happened 26 times and once unconstitutionally (the 16th amendment) for a total of 27 amendments. 

To pass a law, there must be a 51% vote in both houses of Congress, and an approval by the president. Or Congress may override the veto by a two-thirds vote. This has been done well over 40,000 times in 2011 alone.

After the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, there was a backlash against the Federalist Party because Americans believed the party
belka [17]

Answer:

After the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, there was a backlash against the Federalist Party because Americans believed the party wanted the northern states to <u>secede</u> from the United States and join with Britain.

Explanation:

The Treaty of Ghent, signed on 24 December 1814, was a peace treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom that put an end to the War of 1812 (1812-1815). The Treaty ceased all hostilities, restored the borders between the United States and British North America (which would later Canada) to prewar status, and restored diplomatic relations between both countries.

The War of 1812 wasn't popular in many northern states of the US, especially in New England, as the war had crippled the New England economy because of its major economic and trade links with British North America. The then ruling party in New England, the Federalist Party, opposed the war because of this and campaigned for peace with the British. When the <u>Treaty of Ghent was signed, there was a backlash against the Federalist Party, as Americans from other states believed the party wanted the northern states to secede from the United States and join with Britain</u>. However, the Federalists in New England took a moderate position, as they recognized that any moves towards secession would likely trigger a major conflict, and they worked towards restoring trade with the British instead.
