What was the Alien and Sedition Act? What did it do?

Answers

Answer 1

In 1798 the United States stood on the brink of war with France. The Federalists believed that Democratic-Republican criticism of Federalist policies was disloyal and feared that aliens living in the United States would sympathize with the French during a war. As a result, a Federalist-controlled Congress passed four laws, known collectively as the Alien and Sedition Acts. These laws raised the residency requirements for citizenship from 5 to 14 years, authorized the President to deport aliens and permitted their arrest, imprisonment, and deportation during wartime. The Sedition Act made it a crime for American citizens to print, utter, or publish any false, scandalous, or malicious writing about the Government.

How do initiative, referendum, and recall empower Arizona citizens?

Answers

Answer: Influence legislation and recall officials

Explanation:

Initiative allows Arizona citizens to propose new laws for the state. A citizen can do this by coming up with a petition and if they get enough signatures, the authorities can either enact the law or refer it to voters in a special election.

Referendum allows Arizonans to be able to repeal a law or at least force a reconsideration of it while Recall allows them to be able to demand that an elected official be removed from office. These three powers ensure that Arizonans can decide what goes on in their state as well as hold their leaders responsible.

List the three major differences between the North and the South that helped lead to the Civil War

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The three major differences between the North and the South that helped lead to the Civil War were the following.

1.- Northern states did not support slavery. Southern states authorized slavery.

2.- The economy of the northern states was much more industrialized. The North had large factories and fabrics in many states. These allowed them to produce more and better goods and better prices, including weapons and supplies. On the other hand, the South absolutely depended on agriculture and on slaves that worked long hours to produce the crops needed for trade and that were exported to Europe.

3.- Sothern people were very religious people, meanwhile, northerners were more moderate about religious beliefs.

What was the strategic use of Hawaii (Militarily)?

Answers

Answer:

By the time the United States got serious about looking beyond its own borders to conquer new lands, much of the world had already been claimed. Only a few distant territories in Africa and Asia and remote islands in the Pacific remained free from imperial grasp. Hawaii was one such plum. Led by a hereditary monarch, the inhabitants of the kingdom prevailed as an independent state. American expansionists looked with greed on the strategically located islands and waited patiently to plan their move.

Foothold in Hawaii

Interest in HAWAII began in America as early as the 1820s, when New England missionaries tried in earnest to spread their faith. Since the 1840s, keeping European powers out of Hawaii became a principal foreign policy goal. Americans acquired a true foothold in Hawaii as a result of the SUGAR TRADE. The United States government provided generous terms to Hawaiian sugar growers, and after the Civil War, profits began to swell. A turning point in U.S.-Hawaiian relations occurred in 1890, when Congress approved the MCKINLEY TARIFF, which raised import rates on foreign sugar. Hawaiian sugar planters were now being undersold in the American market, and as a result, a depression swept the islands. The sugar growers, mostly white Americans, knew that if Hawaii were to be ANNEXED by the United States, the tariff problem would naturally disappear. At the same time, the Hawaiian throne was passed to QUEEN LILIUOKALANI, who determined that the root of Hawaii's problems was foreign interference. A great showdown was about to unfold.

Annexing Hawaii

In January 1893, the planters staged an uprising to overthrow the Queen. At the same time, they appealed to the United States armed forces for protection. Without Presidential approval, marines stormed the islands, and the American minister to the islands raised the stars and stripes in HONOLULU. The Queen was forced to abdicate, and the matter was left for Washington politicians to settle. By this time, Grover Cleveland had been inaugurated President. Cleveland was an outspoken anti-imperialist and thought Americans had acted shamefully in Hawaii. He withdrew the annexation treaty from the Senate and ordered an investigation into potential wrongdoings. Cleveland aimed to restore Liliuokalani to her throne, but American public sentiment strongly favored annexation.

The matter was prolonged until after Cleveland left office. When war broke out with Spain in 1898, the military significance of Hawaiian naval bases as a way station to the SPANISH PHILIPPINES outweighed all other considerations. President William McKinley signed a joint resolution annexing the islands, much like the manner in which Texas joined the Union in 1845. Hawaii remained a territory until granted statehood as the fiftieth state in 1959.
