When the framers designed the US Constitution they did not give the Federal government much power so power was balanced between States and Central Government. But the Federal government has gained more and more power over time. At the same time, the States were restricted over the years, when the Framers did not imagine doing so.

Both of these situations can be good or bad. For example, making the States respect the Bill of Rights was a good thing when individuals had their basic rights stripped on a State level. So making only the Federal government respect the Bill of Rights did not make much sense.

At the same time, the Federal Government has shown much power that was not designed and showed a few issues over the years, especially with the Executive Branch that had in a few opportunities overstepped its powers.

2. What is the relationship between distance from the Sun and average surface<br> temperature?

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The temperature of the earth's surface drops as it gets further away from the sun. Venus is an exception because its dense atmosphere works as a greenhouse, causing the surface to heat up to temperatures exceeding the melting point of lead, which is around 880 degrees Fahrenheit.

Explain why the public was attracted to candidates Theodore Roosevelt and Ross Perot, and describe the impact these candidates h

shutvik [7]

The public was attracted to both Theodore Roosevelt (in 1912) and Ross Perot (in 1992) because they were fiery, spirited men who challenged the status quo of politics. In both elections, running as 3rd party candidates, these men divided the votes of the Republican party, and thus both elections were won by Democratic party candidates.

In the 1912 election, the Republican Party was divided. Its conservative wing supported President William Howard Taft for reelection. Theodore ("Teddy") Roosevelt, who had been President from 1901-1909, led the progressive wing of the Republicans. Ultimately, Roosevelt and his supporters objected to the nomination of Taft as the Republican candidate, and formed a 3rd party, the Progressive Party, with Roosevelt as their presidential candidate. Roosevelt won 27% of the popular vote; Taft received 23% of the popular vote. Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson got 42% of the popular vote and carried 40 states to win the Electoral College vote handily.

In the 1992 election, Texas businessman Ross Perot painted himself as the non-political candidate and financed most of his own campaign with his own funds. He pledged to balance the government budget and enact policies that protected American businesses. Famously, he opposed the North American Free Trade Agreement, saying it would result in "a giant sucking sound" of American jobs heading south to Mexico. Though not officially a breakaway from the Republican Party, most of the votes Perot drew to himself came from the Republican side. In the 1992 election, incumbent Republican President George W. Bush got 37% of the popular vote, and Perot got 19%. The Democratic candidate, Bill Clinton, received 43% of the popular vote and carried 32 states to win the Electoral College victory with 370 electoral votes.
