"We have not sought to extend our territorial possessions by conquest, or our republican institutions over a reluctant people. I

t was the deliberate homage of each people to the great principle of our federative union. If we consider the extent of territory involved in the annexation, its prospective influence on America, the means by which it has been accomplished, springing purely from the choice of the people themselves to share the blessings of our union, the history of the world may be challenged to furnish a parallel … We may rejoice that the tranquil and pervading influence of the American principle of self-government was sufficient to defeat the purposes of British and French interference … From this example European Governments may learn how vain diplomatic arts and intrigues must ever prove upon this continent against that system of self-government which seems natural to our soil, and which will ever resist foreign interference."—James Polk, from the State of the Union Address, December 2, 1845

Stephen kiprotich, the 2012 olympic marathon winner, completed the 26.219 miles in 128 minutes. what was his speed in kilometers
jok3333 [9.3K]
<span>To begin, we can divide the number of miles by the number of minutes: 26.219/128 = 0.205 miles per minute. Next, we can use the proper conversion factor to give the number of kilometers per minute. Since 1 mile = 1.609 km, we can divide 0.205/1.609 to result in 0.127 kilometers per minute.</span>
