What are you views/opinions on how America handled its acquisition of the various territories from the late 1800's until 1914?
lana66690 [7]

America handled its acquisition of new territories from the late 1800's to 1914 very well, using diplomacy, and making specific distinctions about the territories, their status, and their governing.

Explanation:

Since its establishing as an independent country, the United States has had an expansionist policy so that it can become a large, powerful country. Playing very smartly diplomatically and using the right moments, the American politicians managed to acquire lot of territory from Spain (Florida), Mexico (western, southwestern, and northwestern US), France (French Louisiana), and Russia (Alaska), significantly increasing the territory and the country's power.

In the late 1800's, what is now the United States has pretty much already been under the governing of the United States, with several minor acquisitions happening in meantime. All territorial acquisitions in this period were islands, such as:

  • Puerto Rico
  • the Philippines
  • Guam
  • Wake Islands etc.

Some of these territories were planned for acquisition, while some were not. This led to the creation of different policies for different places, careful managing of the territories, and establishing a specific legal status.

He second part of the declaration of independence best exemplifies the __________. division of powers separation of powers natur
Kobotan [32]

Answer:  Social contract theory

By "the second part," I presume you mean the list of grievances against the British government, which followed the first section (in which natural rights were a strong emphasis).

After asserting natural rights in the opening section, saying that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," then the <em>Declaration of Independence </em>goes on to give a list of "facts to be submitted to a candid world." These facts were meant to demonstrate that the British king had been seeking to establish "an absolute Tyranny over these States" (the colonial states which were declaring their independence).  This was a violation of the social contract which exists between a government and those governed.

The list of grievances against the British government included items such as:

  • The king refused to assent to laws that were wholesome and necessary for the public good.
  • The king had forbidden colonial governors to enact laws or implement laws without his assent (which, as the prior point noted, he was in no hurry to give).
  • The king forced people to give up their rights to legislative assembly or forced legislative bodies to meet in difficult places that imposed hardships on them.
  • The king dissolved legislative assemblies and then refused for a long time to have other assemblies elected.
  • The king obstructed justice in the colonies and made judges dependent on his will alone for their salaries and their tenure in office.
  • The king kept standing armies in place in the colonies in peacetime, without the consent of the colonial legislatures.
  • The king imposed taxes without the colonists' consent.

These and additional items listed in the Declaration were meant to support the colonies' position that tyranny was standard operating procedure by the British monarchy, and therefore revolution was justified.  This was based on the idea of the social contract, that a government's authority to govern came from the people, and if the government did not serve the people properly, it could be replaced.   The Declaration asserted that principle in these words:  "When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them [the people] under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
