How has the presidential power grown since the constitution was written?

The most prominent reason for increased presidential powers is the increased threat of immediate dangers that require swift response. Constitutionally, Congress holds the authority to declare war and ratify peace treaties with foreign nations. As the nature of security threats has evolved over the centuries, it is now clear that Congress is not capable of responding quickly to urgent security concerns, such as nuclear strikes and terrorist attacks. As a result, the War Powers Resolution grants the president power to order immediate but temporary military action without a Congressional declaration of war.

Another major reason for the expansion of the executive branch of the federal government is administering public services for a growing population. In the early days of American history, the population of the 13 original states was drastically lower than the nation's population in the 21st century. The federal government has grown over time to meet the needs of additional services and entitlements that 21st century citizens expect. Such new demands on the federal government include the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, and the Social Security Administration. Whenever a new bureau or department opens, it falls within the executive branch of government, which is overseen by the president.

the national congress's powers over the states were specific and definite: it had the sole power to negotiate treaties, declare war, and make peace. all powers not granted to congress were reserved for state governments. congress had no power to levy taxes, for example.

the correct answer is "pioneers carried all of their possessions on long and dangerous trails".

the first wave of pioneers travelled in 1842. they were merely 100 people. the next year that sum climbed to 1000 men, women, and children. these people travelled around 2,000 miles to oregon in the hopes of a better life. although the first part of the trip didn't present many obstacles, as time and miles went by they learnt that threat came from simple things, like becoming ill due to unclean water or bad food.

the weather didn't much, as wagons couldn't protect them from storms. as they travelled through the desert, the intense heat caused wood to shrink. their own lips abscessed and split because of the dry air. the only cure for this was to rub axle grease on their lips.

even crossing rivers was dangerous. sometimes wheels were damaged by unseen rocks on shallow water. mud didn't much either. pioneers were afraid of indian attacks, but there aren't many records of fights between pioneers and native americans. accidents happened because of negligence, exhaustion, guns, and bad weather.

history says that 1 of 10 pioneers who travelled to oregon didn't survive the journey. diseases spread fastly because they didn't have doctors and medical care was ofently improvised. one of the most deadly diseases they came upon was cholera, which became a worldwide pandemia.
