Explanation:
The Spanish-American War was a conflict between the United States and Spain that ended Spanish colonial rule in the Americas and resulted in U.S. acquisition of territories in the western Pacific and Latin America. The war originated in the Cuban struggle for independence from Spain, which began in February 1895. Spain declared war on the United States on April 24, 1898, followed by a U.S. declaration of war on the 25th, which was made retroactive to April 21. Spain had readied neither its army nor its navy for a distant war with the formidable power of the United States. George Dewey led a U.S. naval squadron into Manila Bay in the Philippines on May 1, 1898, and destroyed the anchored Spanish fleet in a leisurely morning engagement that cost only seven American seamen wounded. Manila itself was occupied by U.S. troops by August. Spain's General Cervera led his squadron out of Santiago on July 3 and tried to escape westward along the coast. In the ensuing battle all of his ships came under heavy fire from U.S. guns and were beached in a burning or sinking condition. Santiago surrendered to Shafter on July 17, thus effectively ending the war. By the Treaty of Paris (signed Dec. 10, 1898), Spain renounced all claim to Cuba, ceded Guam and Puerto Rico to the United States, and transferred sovereignty over the Philippines to the United States for $20,000,000. I hope this helps!
1. Power to declare war
Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war. This ensures that the people's representatives are heard in considering when to send Americans off to war.
2. The regulate Commerce
This, known is as the Commerce Clause, is the foundation for much of the expansion of the Federal Government since the 1930s. It remains controversial in some circles but allows Congress to get involved in things you would normally think were reserved to the States.
3. Borrow on the credit of the US
The US has debt. The constitution allows for Congress to borrow to pay for things. We will see how this one turns out.
