Answer: A. land-hungry politicians from the West and South.
The people who most supported the idea of war were a group of young Congressmen from the West and South known as the "War Hawks." These congressmen were particularly land-hungry, and their desire for war was driven by their expansionists interests. They wanted to add territories such as those of Canada and Florida to the territory of the United States, as well as to continue pushing the frontier West into indigenous lands. This group was particularly influential in Madison's decision to declare war to Great Britain.
Mark Twain would have most likely used the phrase as B) a period of ridiculous excess. During this period there was rapid economic expansion and growth, but this did not extend to the working poor. The wealth expansion also created very corrupt politics. These factors came to define this period as the "Gilded Age." Twain was very critical of this period and its economic and political characteristics.
Explanation:
when Aristotle speaks of the soul 'in the heart' he has in mind the heart as primary and proximate material organ of the soul, the controlling organ originally informed and activated by the soul, upon which all the other organs depend for their formation and activation by the soul. They too live, are informed and activated by the soul, but in a way that is secondary and more remote. To speak of the soul as existing 'in the heart' is not to deny it's presence in the other organs, but to indicate the primary and proximate subject it informs and activates.
