Answer:In February 1840 the British government decided to launch a military expedition, and Elliot and his cousin, George (later Sir George) Elliot, were appointed joint plenipotentiaries to China (though the latter, in poor health, resigned in November). In June, 16 British warships arrived in Hong Kong and sailed northward to the mouth of the Bei River to press China with their demands. Charles Elliot entered into negotiations with the Chinese, and, although an agreement was reached in January 1841, it was not acceptable to either government. In May 1841 the British attacked the walled city of Guangzhou (Canton) and received a ransom of $6 million, which provoked a counterattack on the part of the Cantonese. This was the beginning of a continuing conflict between the British and the Cantonese.
Explanation:
1. the legislative branch of government (Congress) examines a proposed bill and can either reject or vote to make it into a law.
2: when Congress votes in favor of making a bill into law, the Executive branch of government ( the president) signs it into law. If the president does not approve of the bill, he/she can veto it, and send recommendations to Congress to amend the bill.
if Congress approves a bill 2/3 or more of both the house and Senate, it shall become a law, and the president cant veto it.
3: The judicial branch of government (the supreme Court) interprets laws and upholds the constitution. When disagreements occur between the legislative and executive branches of government, the judicial branch has the power to resolve the disagreement by interpreting the law in view of existing laws and the consitution.
4: the varying roles of the three branches of government prove a system of checks and balances so that no branch of government can abuse power or authority over the governed.
