He didn't provide evidence, but called people in to give testimony before congress
Answer:
B. Natural boundary
Explanation:
Haiti and the Dominican Republic share an island. The border of the two nations that divide the island of Hispaniola, in the Caribbean, has extreme contrasts. In many places in this area, one can look to the east (the Dominican side) and see pine forests, and when we turn to the other side (the Haitian), we see only fields almost devoid of trees. Originally, the island as a whole was known for the exuberance of its forests. Today, 28% of the vegetation cover is preserved in the Dominican Republic, compared to just 1% in Haiti - and the few Haitian reserves are threatened by peasants who cut down trees to make charcoal. The reason is historical. Despite being today one of the poorest countries in the world, Haiti developed a thriving agricultural economy in the 18th century, becoming the richest colony in France. At that time, the French empire decided to invest in intensive plantations based on slave labor, while Spain did not develop its side of the island (the Dominican Republic). In addition, all ships that brought slaves returned to Europe with loads of wood. This contributed to faster deforestation and loss of soil fertility - which you can see from the sky.
This quote shows that the national government under the articles of confederation could not raise enough tax money to use for the states needs. It also shows the states had more power than the national government.
C is the answer, sorry if I’m wrong
Correct answer: D. justify a loose interpretation of the Constitution.
The quoted lines are often referred to as the "necessary and proper" clause of the United States Constitution, which asserts that Congress has implied powers beyond the specifically stated ones in the Constitution.. After enumerating a number of the powers of Congress, including borrowing money, coining money, regulating commerce, etc, Section 8 of Article I of the Constitution closes by saying Congress shall have power "to make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof." That's a quite broad and sweeping statement, which goes beyond specifically delegated powers and gives Congress additional implied powers. Those who favor a loose interpretation of the Constitution have focused on this phrase in the document.
An example of the implementation of "loose interpretation" of the Constitution and implementation of implied powers occurred when Alexander Hamilton, as our nation's first Secretary of the Treasury, argued in favor of establishing a national bank. Hamilton, as a "loose constructionist," believed that anything that is not strictly forbidden in the Constitution is allowable. A national bank was not strictly listed as something Congress could establish, but there was nothing in the Constitution to prohibit it. And the "necessary and proper" clause gave leeway to create it, by the implied powers given to Congress.
