Would Antonio Luna Have Been a Strongman? Eyes flashing and fists clenched, Luna entered the house and ran upstairs, after sleeping a sentry who had been too unnerved to salute. Upstairs, Luna was met by his mortal foe, Felipe Buencamino, who told him that Aguinaldo had gone to San Isidro. (Nick Joaquin, 1997, 178)

Yes, Antonio Luna would have been a strongman.

Explanation:

The descriptions of Antonio Luna as seen from the passage is that of a strong. For him to have sleep a Sentry, that is a soldier stationed to guard and    secure a post, that reveals that he was indeed strong. Also, he had a mortal foe named Felipe Buencamino whom he must have engaged in battle.

His clenched fists and flashing eyes are also indicative of his combative lifestyle. So, it can be deduced from the excerpt that  Antonio Luna was a strongman.

in mcculloch v. maryland (1819) the supreme court ruled that congress had implied powers under the necessary and proper clause of article i, section 8 of the constitution to create the second bank of the united states and that the state of maryland lacked the power to tax the bank.

gibbons v. ogden, (1824), was a landmark decision in which the supreme court of the united states held that the power to regulate interstate commerce, granted to congress by the commerce clause of the united states constitution, encompassed the power to regulate navigation.
