Answer: Before there was a federal (national) government there were only states, and each had its own constitution, put in place as a result of a May 10, 1776 resolution of the Continental Congress encouraging all (at that time) colonies to enact them.

The state constitutions governed the affairs of the states. When the U.S. Constitution came along, replacing the deficient Articles of Confederation, it governed the operation of the new federal government and, to some extent, had to limit the freedom of the states. In Article 1, Section 10, some restraints on the states were imposed.

As the Supreme Law of the Land, the U.S. Constitution rules wherever there is a conflict with a state Constitution. There are, however, what I called “concurrent powers” found in both - the power to tax is an example.

Finally, through the controversial “incorporation doctrine” (controversial because many see it as an improper ruling of the Supreme Court) the states have been required to protect most (but not all) of the rights secured by the Bill of Rights, even if such protections do not exist in their state Constitutions.

Compare the Trail of Tears to the Indian Campaigns in New Mexico.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Westward expansion of White settlers caused Native Americans to lose not only land by being confined to reservations but also their traditional resources, including the buffalo, hunting grounds, and sacred landmarks.

Explanation:

Trail of Tears

The Cherokee lived in the Southeast and were largely accepting of the colonial system. They had created a legal system as an independent nation and their government consistent with Cherokee and European traditions. They had their own newspaper and were literate. White settlers in Georgia however were pressing for land in order to grow cotton. In 1830 with the Indian Removal Act the federal government forced the Cherokee to leave and walk thousands of miles to “Indian territory” across the Mississippi River. This became known as the Trail of Tears. The Cherokee Nation initially sued for the return of their land and The Supreme Court sided with them but President Jackson overturned the Supreme Court ruling. More than 15,000 Cherokees were subsequently rounded up and forced to march.

Indian Campaigns in New Mexico

There was a similar scenario in New Mexico although it was later, during the Civil War.  Kit Carson was a famous frontiersman who waged a brutal campaign against the Navajo in 1863. When the Navajo resisted confinement on reservations, Carson terrorized them by destroying villages and killing their livestock. Carson captured approximately 8,000 Navajo and marched them across New Mexico to the Bosque Redondo Reservation, over 300 miles from their former villages, where they remained for the duration of the war.  There had been raids and tensions since the 1840s regarding land in this area and treaties were violated.

Which fact is the BEST piece of supporting evidence that overproduction and falling prices was a cause of the Great Depression?
Natali5045456 [20]

The correct answer is letter C.

From the beggining of the 20th century to the start of World War II there was a huge rollercoaster happening in the wheat business.

The prices climbed sharply before World War I and peaked after its end. European farm production was able to guarantee years of low prices and the American agriculture was deemed to a great depression even before the stock market crash of 1929. The prices climbed in the mid-1930s and then plunged again. Not until World War II did America sustained increases in price and demand.
