History

The main reason for the percentage increase in the United States defense spending in 1950 was <u>A.  the nuclear arms race ...</u>

<h3>What is Defense Spending?</h3>

Defense spending is the total budgeted expenditure for maintaining and equipping the United States armed forces.  It also includes the costs of developing and testing modern weapons for warfare.

<h3>Purpose of Defense Spending</h3>

The increased defense spending in 1950 was to counter the threats posed by communism hoisted on the world by the Soviet Union.

Thus, the increased defense spending in 1950, apart from the nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union, was not meant to:

  • Rebuild Japan's military forces.
  • Increase troops for the Korean War.
  • Finance the United Nations peace-keeping troops.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
adell [148]

Answer:

This is the differences between the the Constitution and the Articles of Confederation. I hope this helps.

Explanation:

There were key differences between the two documents in the how they both codified the law. The Articles of Confederation established a unicameral legislature, as opposed to the eventual bicameral system created by the Constitution. Voting power was delegated to states based on committees (consisting of anywhere from two to seven people) and each state had one vote in the Articles of Confederation; the Constitution allowed for a single vote for each legislative representative (for each state, two Senators and a number of House representatives based on census population). Furthermore, the Constitution created the Executive Branch of government, establishing a figurehead department of the government that was still held accountable to public scrutiny. In the grand scheme of things, the Constitution did more to centralize authority in a single political entity, rather than rely on the more lax union created by the Articles of Confederation.
