What is one argument against imperialism that Senator Beveridge identifies in this excerpt?

History

In studying imperialism or globalization from an American perspective, the turn of the twentieth century provides a useful starting point. Until that time, the nation was able to isolate itself from major overseas wars through geographic separation. Washington and Jefferson’s warning against entangling alliances and the Monroe Doctrine’s assertion of hemispheric self‐determination provided strong rhetorical justification for a policy of non‐ interference.1 This perspective changed after the Spanish‐American War of the late 1890s, when the United States acquired the Philippines and other territories as permanent possessions in postwar negotiations. For the first time, the United States had the eminent capability to begin overseas expansion and rival European imperial powers. Albert Beveridge's "March of the Flag" not only delivered a rhetorically powerful argument for such an expansion project into the Philippines and beyond, but also placed this argument into the larger context of Manifest Destiny—the historic mission of Americans to spread liberty, civilization, and "God’s kingdom on Earth." The call for such a policy of imperial conquest had great appeal in its era and carries insight for American foreign policy from that time forward.2
The speech is rhetorically significant as well. The march allegory has often been the critical focus of American public address students and scholars. The vivid image brings alive the themes of nationalist imperialism, making Beveridge's speech more memorable and meaningful. The forward progress of the flag gave the speech its organizing principle and its moral certitude. Rarely has one figural theme held such centrality for American political oratory as in the "March of the Flag" speech.
This analysis brings to the foreground the values and keywords of the era to better understand how the powerful march allegory functioned in the speech. Beveridge redefined several key terms of the speech both through connotative and denotative strategies. Specifically, "liberty" and "civilization" are linked to a continuous forward march. Meanwhile, Beveridge employed altered meanings of the terms that are specific to expansionist rhetoric while appearing consistent to a larger narrative. The power of Beveridge's speech flowed not only from the figurative language that scholars often identify

Which of the 18 powers of Congress listed allows them to declare war? Give the number.
Keith_Richards [23]

The power of Congress that allows them to declare war is <u>Number 11</u>.

It gives them the right to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The United States Congress has declared war 11 times since its creation against:

  • England in 1812;
  • Mexico in 1846;
  • Spain in 1898;
  • Germany in 1917 during the First World War;
  • Japan, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania between 1941 and 1942 during the Second World War.

Generally, it was the President of the United States as the chief of the armies, who asks the Congress for authorization to declare war. The President can ask them to support the continuation of military operations during the conflict as well. It was particularly the case during the Vietnam War and the Gulf War.

Another list of 18 powers of the Congress which contains other points concerning the war, such as:

12: Raise and support armies.

13: Provide and maintain a navy.

14: Make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces.

15: Provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrection and repel invasions.

16: Provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia.
