Parties arose during the presidency of George Washington and were sharply divided on the issue of <u>B. how powerful the federal government should be. </u>
The first party ever made in the U.S. was the Federalist. The Federalist's supporters believed that <u>a strong government</u> was necessary to properly lead the nation and promoted the belief that the Constitution was open to interpretation, thus the government had "unmentioned rights" to have additional powers.
The second party was a result of the discontent people had toward the Federalist party. They were called the Democratic-Republican party. This party strongly advocated giving more power to the states and local governments and wanted <u>a weak central government</u> instead, fearing that giving too much power to the government would turn American into a monarchy and bring about many abuses of powers and civilian injustices, especially to the middle and working class.
A military operation is the coordinated military actions of a state, or a non-state actor, in response to a developing situation. These actions are designed as a military plan to resolve the situation in the state or actor's favor.
Before World War One, Germany built many warships and other armaments in response to other nations doing the same. This is an example of militarism.
Militarism is the strong belief which a country has that it should have adequate military support and armament in order to adequately defend itself from invasion or war.
