Answer: There were multiple events leading to this war. Shortly after Texas becoming a state in 1845, Mexico breaks diplomatic relations with the U.S. The American idea of Manifest Destiny caused some attempts from the U.S to purchase California and New Mexico, where Mexico refuses. This eventually leads to the President sending military forces, which leads up to the Mexican-American War.

The relationship was not good because they disagreed about where the Texas- Mexico border.

The war—in which U.S. forces were consistently victorious—resulted in the United States' acquisition of more than 500,000 square miles (1,300,000 square km) of Mexican territory extending westward from the Rio Grande to the Pacific Ocean

15. Why did states with smaller populations support the New Jersey Plan?

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Because it granted equal representation in congress

Explanation:

The New Jersey Plan offered the same representation in congress regardless of the population of the state, thus small, populations states agreed because they wanted equal representation in congress as states with a larger population. Smaller population disagreed with the Virginia Plan because it proposed that the U.S. have representatives porportionate to the size of the population. States with large population (like Virginia) would get more representatives in congrees, and thus, have more say in Congress. Both plans were dismissed, and then came "The Connecticut Compromise" in which the HOR would be based on size of population, and the senate would have an equal number of reps from each state (2).
