On April 6, 1917, the U.S. joined its allies--Britain, France, and Russia--to fight in World War I. Under the command of Major General John J. Pershing, more than 2 million U.S. soldiers fought on battlefields in France. Many Americans were not in favor of the U.S. entering the war and wanted to remain neutral.
A benefit of a confederate government is C. Several states can cooperate in matters of common concern and still retain their separate identities.
A confederate government derives its power from the state or provincial government resulting to a weak central authority. States under the confederation retain all the powers of an independent nation; powers such as the right to have its own military force, the right to print money, and the right to make treaties with other national powers without needing the approval of other states under the confederation.
Confederate states exerting their own powers weakened the central government which led to the founding fathers to shift into Federalism when they drafted the Constitution.
Explanation:
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was an abolitionist, human rights activist and one of the first leaders of the woman’s rights movement. She came from a privileged background and decided early in life to fight for equal rights for women. Stanton worked closely with Susan B. Anthony—she was reportedly the brains behind Anthony’s brawn—for over 50 years to win the women’s right to vote. Still, her activism was not without controversy, which kept Stanton on the fringe of the women’s suffrage movement later in life, though her efforts helped bring about the eventual passage of the 19th Amendment, which gave all citizens the right to vote.
