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.

solong [7]
Marbury sued James Madison BECAUSE JAMES REFUSED TO HAND OVER HIS COMMISSION TO HIM.
President John Adams appointed some people as justice of peace just before he existed office and Marbury happened to be one of these people. When the new president came in [Thomas Jefferson], he refused to recognize these people and he instructed his sectary of state, who happened to be James Madison to hold back from giving the appointed people their commissions. The commission represents the evidence that these people have been appointed by the president. Due to this, Marbury sued James by taking the case to the supreme court.
