The amount of territory the US currently has would have been completely different if the national government could only legislate based on what is written in the constitution.
A perfect example of this is the power to purchase land/territories from other countries. This was first done by Thomas Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The US Constitution does not say that the president has the power to buy land from other countries. However, Jefferson said that this power was "implied" by the Constitution.
This idea of an implied power greatly changed the presidency/national government. Several presidents after Jefferson would follow his lead by making deals with countries for territory.
If it wasn't for this concept of implied powers, the US may not have grown to the 50 states we know it as today.
Both the French and American Revolution began with a king that the country was tired of. Although, the colonists broke off of Britain, and France executed their king. On the other hand, they both had their ups and downs and in the end, won independance and freedoms. However, the French had ruthless leaders all throughout the revolution, who manipulated them, and the Americans just fought their way to victory with Britain instead of trying to take over.

Explanation
Terrorism is a form of action of a specific group that is characterized by using violence and terror to cause remembrance in the population and make a specific demand. In general, terrorist actions use systematic violence to defend their ideologies and attack anyone who is considered to be a violator or opponent of it (it can be the government, a minority group, or another). According to the above, the correct answer is B. A religious group assassinates a politician for demanding more separation of church and state because it is a violent act in response to an action that goes against the ideology of the religious group.
