XYZ Affair

Explanation:

XYZ affair was a conflict that arose between France and the United States because the French people were not happy with the fact that the U.S reached an agreement (Jay Treaty) with Britain. This event happened from 1798 to 1800. To restore peace between the nations, President John Adams sent three representatives to France.

To their dismay, they were told by French middlemen, namely, Nicholas Hubbard, Jean Hottinguer (X), Pierre Bellamy (Y), and Lucien Hauteval (Z)  that before they could see the Foreign affairs minister, they had to pay a loan and bribe. John Adams made the statement above when presenting the matter to congress. He termed those middlemen XYZ.

nasty-shy [4]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>A. The constitution already limited Powers of government, so a list of rights was not needed. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The idea behind having a Constitution is that it limits the powers of the government and sets certain law and rules that are to be followed while governing. Hence when there were debates for the "ratification" of the Constitution, the Federalists concluded that the Constitution didn’t require any list of rights, as the Constitution itself limits the powers of the government. Moreover, Bill of Rights was unnecessary as the Constitution was drafted with a strong concept of "Separation of Powers", and the Check and Balance system. Under this the government has been divided into three categories and these three categories check and limit the powers of each other.

How did martin luther's 95 theses contribute to the start of the protestant reformation? by refusing to grant divorces or annulm
Aloiza [94]
The answer is by rejecting papal authority over the community of believers.

Martin Luther wrote his 95 theses criticizing the Catholic Church and their practices. One of the biggest complaints he had was the church's use of indulgences. This is when an individual could pay the church in order to be forgiven for their sins. This is why he rejected the authority of the pope over the citizens, as he believed the corruption within the church was unethical.
