Which of the folllow was a direct economic effect of the Spanish American wat in the United States

The answer is A. The US acquired new overseas territories, leading to increased trade.

Explanation:

Before the SPAM War started, Cuba was attempting to launch a revolution from the Spanish to gain their independence. America saw this and became allies with the chain of islands under Spanish control. However, the US did not want to initiate warfare unless acts of war were put against them, per the "Big Stick Policy" by Teddy Roosevelt. The war was finally initiated when Yellow Journalism, when newspapers exaggerated stories, caused Americans to jump to conclusion that the SS Maine, in Havana Cuba,  was sunk by the Spanish. (It was later discovered that it was an engine explosion on behalf of human error). Anyway, the Cubans got their chance at independence when America decided to join them in battle. After the war was won, Cubans gained  their independence and the US got the rest of the islands (The Phillippines, Guatemala, etc.). This allowed American ships to have naval bases, increase manufacturing and trade, and allow for easier shipping for materials that could be traded in Western continents.

answer: the ten commandments forbid the creation of any christian images.

explanation:

the articles of confederation only set up the continental congress at the federal level. there were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. the states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to congress. the bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.

not many historians today talk about the strengths of the articles of confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. the articles did set the legislative body, congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress. the document also stipulated that canada was allowed to enter the union if they desired.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.
