The 1965 Voting Rights Act enabled the Justice Department, under certain circumstances, to send federal officers into communitie
aleksley [76]

Answer: perfectly consistent with Madison's proposed national veto over objectionable state laws

Explanation:

James Madison believed that the Federal Government through Congress, should have the right to veto objectionable state laws so that states would not get away with doing whatever they want in areas the Constitution was lacking.

The action by the 1965 Voting Rights Act described above is in line with this veto suggestion because it was passed mainly with the Southern States as these states had been limiting the rights of Black people to vote through some state legislature and intimidation. Justice officers being allowed to go into communities to register voters was to counteract this.

explain in 1 paragraph how the Mississippi River formed Louisiana's Coastline, and describe why the Mississippi River is importa
Damm [24]

Answer:

The Mississippi River formed Louisiana's coastline by eroding land which creates the coastline. The Mississippi river benefits Louisiana by being a river to trade in, a way of getting water, and being a tourist attraction that Louisiana profits from. Coastlines are formed by waves clashing with materials on a land. Over time, the clashes of land erode (take apart) the land, which forms a coastline. Without the Mississippi river, Louisiana would not have a tourist attraction in the form of a coastline and river, water would not be easily available to Louisiana, and Louisiana wouldn't see as much trade.

Explanation:

All land (in this case, coastlines) is shaped by waves. When the waves go at the land, the land loses itself in little tiny pieces overtime, which helps to shape land as we know it. Rivers are known to have lots of seafood and/or are of importance as rivers have water, which is required for human life, so the river is important to Louisiana.

Castro's view of the conclusion of the crisis differ from the views of Kennedy and<br>Khrushchev?​
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

In October 1962, an American U-2 spy plane secretly photographed nuclear missile sites being built by the Soviet Union on the island of Cuba. President Kennedy did not want the Soviet Union and Cuba to know that he had discovered the missiles. He met in secret with his advisors for several days to discuss the problem.

After many long and difficult meetings, Kennedy decided to place a naval blockade, or a ring of ships, around Cuba. The aim of this "quarantine," as he called it, was to prevent the Soviets from bringing in more military supplies. He demanded the removal of the missiles already there and the destruction of the sites. On October 22, President Kennedy spoke to the nation about the crisis in a televised address.

Explanation:

No one was sure how Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev would respond to the naval blockade and US demands. But the leaders of both superpowers recognized the devastating possibility of a nuclear war and publicly agreed to a deal in which the Soviets would dismantle the weapon sites in exchange for a pledge from the United States not to invade Cuba. In a separate deal, which remained secret for more than twenty-five years, the United States also agreed to remove its nuclear missiles from Turkey. Although the Soviets removed their missiles from Cuba, they escalated the building of their military arsenal; the missile crisis was over, the arms race was not.
