Left Panel
I don't know how to eliminate all the choices, but the answer for this question is E.
A is incorrect. Out of 10000 cases making an appeal to the Supreme court, only 80 are hear.
B: Sometimes a case is heard if only 1 justice wants to hear it because the case is in the realm of his specialty. So B is not true.
C: C is one of those possibilities that is possible that might be true. Actually the cases presented to the court go through a pool of clerks who decide whether or not to pass it on.
D: For the same reason that B is not the answer, I don't think this one is either. The court has in recent history had an odd number of justices. I don't think the chief justice has any more votes than any of the others. The vote rarely is 4 to 4 close, especially recently.
Middle Panel
The answer to this is D to make and pass laws that apply to the state. I'll explain this better in the comments when I'm at home.
Right Panel
I think the closest answer is A. I'll put this one in the comments as well.
The U.S. began to take over many smaller islands, so they began to become a colonial power. It was a contradiction of American Values because it restricted many people's freedoms.
Answer:
D. Washington outsider
Explanation:
Carter campaigned himself this way, mostly as a critique of the state of Washington before his election. But as well, to relate to the "common people" and detach himself from the idea that presidents must be imperialists.
Answer:
Truth was born into slavery in Swartekill, Ulster County, New York, but escaped with her infant daughter to freedom in 1826. After going to court to recover her son in 1828, she became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man.
Answer: Highways
Explanation:
World War II and the period after saw an unprecedented rise in the economics of the United States and this was driven by significant government spending in infrastructure.
One such infrastructure was roads and highways. The U.S. government embarked on spirited road construction projects that connected so many places in the U.S. including Washington suburbs to other areas. This allowed people to get houses there knowing that they had easy access to their work places and other parts of the country.
