<u>Congress passed the acts to prepare Americans for the possibility of U.S. involvement in the war by expanding the size of army and navy construction.</u>

By the time these federal laws were enacted, the WW II was taking place in Europe, and the U.S. government wanted to be prepared in case they decided to enter the war. The National Defense Act allowed for the increase of the size of the Army and the National Guard as well as for the creation of an Officers' and an Enlisted Reserve Corps, and a Reserve Officers' Training Corps. The Naval Construction Act allowed for the enlargement of the U.S. Navy in a three-year period.

What is not a primary source
Naya [18.7K]
A primary source would be an account from someone who was there, so a nonprimary source would be an account from someone who was told what happened by somebody else. For example, if a friend of mine saw a car crash and then told me about it, he would be a primary source, but if I went and told somebody I would be a secondary source.

Moses - Why is the Holy Land an important site for your faith?
den301095 [7]
These answers are of my own but for the question only. :)

The Holy Land was for Gods people. Moses would be asking God maybe someone else. Asking why would the land of Gods people be important to us?

Jesus would be asking maybe his disciples about how one could get to the Holy Land as in a reference to getting to heaven.
