Advantage---Loose constructionists tend to uphold civil rights and liberties. Judicially active, loose constructionist judges such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg tend to dissent in cases which infringe civil liberties such as Salinas v Texas (2013) and agree with rulings that don't e.g. 2015 Same sex rulingAdvantage---Loose constructionists often protect minorities, especially those incompatible with Congress or the executive. This is because loose constructionists are not scared to overturn laws or actions made by Congress or the executive e.g. Brown v Board of EducationDisadvantage---Loose constructionists tend to be judicially active, which has fuelled arguments on the politicisation of the Court. They 'legislate from the bench' by striking down laws as unconstitutional. This is undemocratic and elitist, as they have mandate from the electorateDisadvantage---Loose constructionists tend to be too sensitive to public opinion, which could hamper the neutrality and independence of the Court. However, some public support is necessary to maintain the authority of the Court.
Answer:
D, The Gadsden Purchase was bought because it was considered a good route for a transcontinental railroad.
The correct answer is:
D. Roosevelt was successful in bringing parts of Latin America under control of the United States, including Cuba and the Panama Canal.
Explanation:
The "Big Stick" foreign policy was the common name given to the addition of the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, after President Roosevelt's quote "speak softly, and carry a big stick, and you will go far".
<em>The Big Stick, or Roosevelt Corollary stated that the United States might intervene in American affairs to prevent European attacks on American countries.</em> He stated that the United States would act as a mediator between American countries that were in debt with European countries, and that if they failed to pay ,U.S. military forces would step in.
The Big Stick policy was accepted and successful because it resulted in the creation of the Panama Canal and expanded American control in Cuba.
The Cold war was a global conflict that was fought between the United States and a capitalist democratic thought against the Soviet Union, with it's ideals of socialism.
It was brought about due to the growing conflict in the post-World War II era when only two super powers remained on earth.
Both countries wanted to exert global influence and since both had Nuclear Weapons, there were very few chances of direct conflict.
Hence, the war was fought trough proxies around the world. If a government was allied with one party, the other country would fund opposition rebels to overthrow the government.
This was played out extensively in Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia, where US funded and Soviet funded militias fought bloody battles. In all these countries, Communist rebels had become extremely powerful.
In Vietnam, the US even sent in direct forces to curb the growth of communist rebels.
Korea was divided with North Korea being pro-socialist while South Korea siding with the United States.
When the dust settled, borders had changed and millions had died.
An ancient community: There was already an indigenous Jewish population in Palestine during the Ottoman Empire and before. Its members were concentrated principally in the holy cities of Jerusalem, Safed, Tiberias and Hebron. Nonetheless, the Jewish presence in Palestine, prior to the establishment of the State of Israel, had fluctuated through time, with various communities appearing and disappearing. Regardless, in 1880, before immigration began, Palestine’s Jewish population numbered about 25,000, and had been deeply rooted there for several generations.
The beginning of Zionism and immigration: The beginning of modern, national-minded Jewish immigration coincides with the foundation of the modern Zionist movement. Zionism as a political movement is conventionally dated to 1882. Small groups of Jews dispersed through Europe began to cooperate to establish agricultural colonies in historical Palestine. These groups met officially for the first time in 1897, for the first Zionist conference, in Basel, Switzerland.
