7. The correct answer is C. The American Revolution could be said to be a pebble which started a wave. Not only it shown that the colonies could win their independence but also that it can also established a strong government with the elected leaders and effectively ushering the era of democracy. The French Revolution soon followed as did many others.  

8. Two correct answers here are the second and the fourth option. It was stated for the first time in the Declaration of Independence that it was the governments duty to protect and insure its citizen’s basic rights. Jefferson use this effectively when convincing people that independence is necessary. Also, any kind of forced confession is not admissible in the court of law and the citizens rights are protected by the constitution.

9. The correct answer here is D. It is the President who can nominate a Supreme Court Justice but it is left to the Congress of the United States to approve that nomination. This is an example of the checks and balances system on which the US government is founded in order to ensure that not one branch accumulates too much power.

10. The correct answer here would be the second and the third option.

Nonresidents, most of them working ones, have to pay US taxes while in the US. The rights as well as the responsibilities detailed in the Constitution apply to all on the US soil. 

the beginning of the iditarod trail sled dog race. the iditarod trail sled dog race first ran to nome in 1973.   the trail they used is today known as the iditarod trail, first surveyed by the alaska road commission in 1908 and now one of the national historic trails as so designated by the congress of the united states.

what inspired

the children of nome were dying in january 1925. infected with diphtheria, they wheezed and gasped for air, and every day brought a new case of the lethal respiratory disease. nome’s lone physician, dr. curtis welch, feared an epidemic that could put the entire village of 1,400 at risk. he ordered a quarantine but knew that only an antitoxin serum could ward off the fast-spreading disease.the nearest batch of the life-saving medicine, however, rested more than 1,000 miles away in anchorage. nome’s ice-choked harbor made sea transport impossible, and open-cockpit airplanes could not fly in alaska’s subzero temperatures. with the nearest train station nearly 700 miles away in nenana, canine power offered nome its best hope for a speedy delivery.sled dogs regularly beat alaska’s snowy trails to deliver mail, and the territory’s governor, scott c. bone, recruited the best drivers and dog teams to stage a round-the-clock relay to transport the serum from nenana to nome. on the night of january 27, 1925, a train whistle pierced nenana’s stillness as it arrived with the precious cargo—a 20-pound package of serum wrapped in protective fur. musher “wild bill” shannon tied the parcel to his sled. as he gave the signal, the paws of shannon’s nine malamutes pounded the snow-packed trail on the first steps of a 674-mile “great race of mercy” through rugged wilderness, across frozen waterways and over treeless tundra.even by alaskan standards, this winter night packed extra bite, with temperatures plummeting to 60 degrees below zero fahrenheit. although every second was precious as the number of confirmed cases in nome mounted, shannon knew he needed to control his speed. if his dogs ran too fast and breathed too deeply in such frigid conditions, they could frost their lungs and die of exposure. although shannon ran next to the sled to raise his own body temperature, he still developed hypothermia and frostbite on the 52-mile leg to tolovana before handing off the serum to the second dog team.
