There are a number of ways in which federalism affects many aspects of US government and politics. Here are a few important ways:
1) Variation in state laws concerning such matters as the age at which one can drive a car and must attend school.
2) Variations in penalties of law breaking from state to state.
3) Complexity of the American legal system, having both national and state courts.
4) Each state having not only its own laws and courts but also its own Constitution.
5) Complexity of the tax system: income tax (federal and state); state property taxes; local sales taxes.
6) State-based elections, run largely under state law.
7) The frequency and number of elections.
8) Political parties being decentralised and largely state-based.
<span>9) Regional diversity (the South, Midwest, Northeast etc.) and regional considerations when making appointments to, for example, the cabinet, or when 'balancing the ticket' in the presidential election.</span>
Answer:
4. Native Americans were forced out by competition for resources and hunger.
Explanation:
Andrew Jackson made an act "Removal Act" forcing Native Americans to move to another land, causing Trail Of Tears. Many had died by starvation and no warmth through the way. Americans wanted resources like gold, found in the Native American.
In reaction
to the fugitive slave law, most of the people in the north showed open defiance
to the law and devised means to support the Underground Railroad to Canada. It
is reported that they formed committees to facilitate the transport of African
American slaves to Canada through the Underground Railroad.
What I can infer from what Lewis and Clark saw when moving west from the Mississippi river is that the landscape along the river changed drasticallly. The forest receded, replaced first by the high prairie and then the shorter grass of the high plains. The temperatures became colder and as they continued their expedition by the river they realized that there was no water route to the pacific ocean, just more mountains.
