Answer:

Popular sovereignty, separation of powers, checks and balances, federalism, and the rule of law are the five concepts that underpin the Constitutions.

Explanation:

Popular sovereignty: The direct voting measures to elect members to the House of Representatives, the 17th amendment (direct election of Senators), and the voting procedures to pass an amendment (3/4 of states required and each having a chance to vote) are all examples.

Separation of Powers: The executive branch, judicial branch, and legislative branch are the three branches of government that were established. Each branch has its own set of tasks and authority. For example, if the president want to go to war, he must first obtain congressional authorization.

Checks and Balances: is the concept that each branch can judge the other's strength. The veto power is a type of check and balance mechanism. The president has the power to veto a bill that he opposes. The Supreme Court has the authority to review legislation enacted by Congress, restricting Congress's capacity to pass unconstitutional legislation.

Federalism: is the idea that the federal government has precedence over state governments, but that each have their own powers. Any right not specifically stated in the Constitution as a federal right is reserved to the states, according to the 10th amendment. Education is a prime example of a government-controlled and created institution.

The Rule of Law: means that the laws apply to everyone, and no one is too strong or affluent to be exempt from the rules that apply to all residents. The Constitution demonstrates this by giving citizens the ability to impeach an elected official if they break the law.

Considering the European nations already had defined alliances, do you think that war would have been inevitable? Must be in Thr

Phantasy [73]

Well, I think that in principle, every war is inevitable until it happens - perhaps, if the fall of the Iron Curtain had resulted in war we'd be calling it "inevitable" now. The war was however very predictable at the time, indeed due to the alliances. In fact, Otto von Bismark had long before seen the potential for war in Europe, due to the national conflicts and strong alliances, as seen in his quote: "One day great war will come out of some foolish thing in the Balkans"

by the mid-nineteenth century,a combination of factors caused the great___ herds to fall into decline

tatyana61 [14]

Answer: Cattle

In 1880, the cattle kingdom fell. The good profitability of cattle led ranchers to increase the size of their cattle. This move led to overgrazing which depleted the plains where cattle can graze. There was also over production of cattle that led to oversupply in the market. The surplus of cattle in the market led to decline in prices. Changes in the weather conditions such as the extended summer dryness greatly reduced the cattle population. These conditions led to the fall of the cattle kingdom.

By 1840, the South produced two-thirds of the world's raw cotton. How did this shape Southern demographics?

Verdich [7]

This helped give money to the country. This also made good trade for the country to get other products this country needed. With the need for cotton also shaped the need for machinery. With cotton the United States became more high tech with machinery like the cotton gin and it also gave us money and valuable trade.
