To give individual states greater control over how to spend federal money
Explanation:
The main reason for this was slavery. The US did not want to annex Texas because doing so would have upset the balance between slave states and free states that had been accomplished with the Missouri Compromise of 1820. When Texas became independent, it wanted to join up with the United States.
The two main resources that people are in conflict over are oil and water.
Water is an important resource in the Middle East because of how limited it is. Most of the region is dry. Conflicts occurred when countries are using more than their share of the water resources.
European religious practices were so restrictive that's what led to the Pilgrims departing for North America. Religious persecution and questioning church practices led various sects to break away from Catholic Church as well as the Church of England. (hope this helps)
