Answer: The death penalty may be imposed on both adults and juveniles.

Explanation:

In Stanford versus Kentucky, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it was constitutional to impose the death penalty on n offender that was 16 or 177 when the crime was committed.

A juvenile is someone who is under the age of 18. In saying that it was constitutional to apply the penalty to a person who committed a crime when they were 16 or 17, the Court is saying that the death penalty may be imposed on a juvenile as well as an adult as those are above the age of 16.

which flaw in the government created by the articles of confederation did Shay's rebellion make apparent?​
Ghella [55]

Answer:

A powerful central government

Explanation:

There were fewer taxes back in that day, which angered colonists. Protests in rural Massachusetts turned into direct action in August 1786 after the state legislature adjourned without considering the many petitions that had been sent to Boston. On August 29, 1786, a well-organized force of protestors formed in Northampton, Massachusetts, and successfully prevented the county court from sitting. The insurgents were organized into three major groups and intended to surround and attack the armory simultaneously. Shays had one group east of Springfield near Palmer, Luke Day had a second force across the Connecticut River in West Springfield, and the force under Eli Parsons was to the north at Chicopee. The rebels had planned their assault for January 25, but Day changed this at the last minute and sent a message to Shays indicating that he would not be ready to attack until the 26th. Day's message was intercepted by Shepard's men, so the militia of Shays and Parsons approached the armory on the 25th not knowing that they would have no support from the west; instead, they found Shepard's militia waiting for them. Shepard first ordered warning shots fired over the heads of Shays' men, and then he ordered two cannons to fire grapeshot. Four Shaysites were killed and 20 wounded. There was no musket fire from either side, and the rebel advance collapsed.

In a paragraph or two, describe the role of each branch of the federal government and explain how each branch works as a check o
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The Federal Government consists of three different branches:

-On the one hand, the executive branch is in charge of the administration of the country's resources and the application of the laws passed by Congress. This branch consists of the President, the Vice President and the Executive Cabinet. The executive branch controls the legislative branch through the veto power of the President, who can determine that a law sanctioned by the Congress does not become valid; and the judicial power through the proposal of who are the candidates to become judges of the Supreme Court.

-The legislative power consists of the Congress and its function is to enact the laws that will govern life in society in the nation. It is also in charge of controlling the executive power through the approval of certain acts of the President by the Senate, and in turn the judicial power in conjunction with the executive branch through the holding of political impeachments to certain officials.

-The judiciary consists of the Supreme Court of the United States and lower courts at the Federal level, and its function is to interpret the Constitution of the United States and the other laws of the nation and to sanction those who fail to comply with said regulations. Through the interpretation of the Constitution, the Supreme Court exercises a constitutional control of the acts of both the President and the Congress.
