D. Tax the states.
Explanation:
The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution for the United States. It was known for being very weak and giving little to no power to the federal government.
With the Articles of Confederation, the government could not draft soldiers, regulate trade, amend the Articles, create and enforce laws properly, or even tax the states. In order to tax the states, the government had to outright request money from them. They had no power to tax them, only request money. This made it exceptionally hard to pay for war debts and other matters.
Over time, the support for the Articles of Confederation split. Some people supported it, while some didn't. The people who were in favor of the Articles of Confederation were called Anti-Federalists and they associated having a strong government with British tyranny. On the other hand, the people who wanted to amend the Articles of Confederation were called Federalists and they wanted to have a strong government.
Eventually, the Constitutional Convention 1787 was called to amend the Articles. While the original plan was just to amend them, they ended up getting scrapped altogether. The United States Constitution was created instead.

Identify and explain the four federal crimes described in the constitution.
Answer:
Hopfully this text helps you :)
Explanation:
Two hundred and twenty three years ago, the American people adopted a document so influential that it continues to serve as a model for governmental organization throughout the world. We proudly celebrate Constitution Day every Sept. 17. But, increasingly, these celebrations are tinged with concern that our constitutional heritage is being eroded.
Over the past few decades modern liberalism, along with activist judges and other public officials have repudiated many of Americas core principles. Assaults on state efforts to control immigration and the imposition of a federal mandate to buy health insurance are two of the most recent challenges to settled constitutional order.
Another sign that we have lost our sense of the Constitution lies in the phenomenon of "overcriminalization." Put simply, government is making too many criminal laws, creating traps for people who are doing their best to be law-abiding citizens. Consider: The Constitution itself identifies only three federal crimes - piracy, counterfeiting, and treason.

When the First Congress enacted the original Crimes Act in 1790, it stipulated only 17 federal crimes. Today, Congress own research service can't even count all the federal crimes on the books. Our best estimate is that the federal code now delineates more than 4,500 federal crimes. And federal regulations create tens of thousands more. Our Founding Fathers would recognize relatively few of these offenses as crimes.
At the time of the founding, almost all criminal law punished conduct that everyone would recognize as wrongful - offenses like murder, theft, and burglary. And virtually all crimes required proof that the accused had acted with a "guilty mind" - that is, with the intent to do a wrongful act. My, how things have changed.
Today, the vast majority of the crimes are regulatory offenses. They involve conduct that is not inherently wrong but has been made criminal only because an elite legislature - or unelected bureaucracy - has decreed it to be so.
To make enforcement of these new social norms easier, legislatures have often jettisoned the "guilty mind" requirement. As a result, people may be punished with jail time for doing things they had no idea were illegal, much less criminal.
Our criminal law has become unmoored from its historical foundations. Absurdities abound as a result. "One Nation Under Arrest: How Crazy Laws, Rogue Prosecutors and Activist Judges Threaten Your Liberty," a recent book from the Heritage Foundation, recounts dozens of examples of Americans going about their business, only to find they have unwittingly committed crimes.
Hence, a 12-year old girl is arrested for eating a French fry in the Washington, D.C., Metro system. A 63-year old grandmother in Palo Alto, Calif., is arrested for failing to trim her hedges in the "officially approved manner." Four FBI agents, in SWAT gear and armed with automatic rifles, arrest an Alaskan inventor for shipping scientific material without a federally mandated sticker on the package. A retired orchid grower spends 17 months in jail for importing orchids without the proper paperwork.
As the list of criminal acts expands, it becomes harder for the average American to get through the day without unknowingly committing a crime. This situation creates an even more insidious danger. If everyone is potentially a criminal, then the government and its employees have vast powers to decide which people to charge. With so wide a scope of possible criminal charges, we now face a situation where little but the discretion of the government determines who goes to jail and who goes free.
When government exercises that discretion with great wisdom and restraint, justice will result. But as reflected in the principles embodied in our Constitution and our concept of the rule of law, we insist on a government that is limited precisely because we doubt the unerring wisdom of the state or its officials. The comprehensiveness of criminal law now means that it may be deployed as a weapon against the disfavored or the politically unpopular without regard to the actual blameworthiness of their conduct.
Without limits protecting citizens from haphazard application of criminal punishment, law becomes a tool of oppression rather than protection. As it diverges from commonly held ideas of justice, respect for the law declines, as does its moral force upon American society. Without that respect and force, law is far less able to further the ends of government in protecting the life, property and liberty of the average American.
As we celebrate Constitution Day, we should remember its enduring principles. If we do not, America will soon become a place where government has the power to deem anyone a criminal.
Answer:
Although there are many different kinds of crimes, criminal acts can generally be divided into four primary categories: personal crimes, property crimes, inchoate crimes, statutory crimes, and financial crimes.
Explanation:
Property crimes typically involve interference with the property of another. Although they may involve physical or mental harm to another, they primarily result in the deprivation of the use or enjoyment of property. Many property crimes are theft crimes, including burglary, larceny, robbery, auto theft, and shoplifting. Inchoate crimes refer to those crimes that were initiated but not completed, and acts that assist in the commission of another crime. Inchoate crimes require more than a person simply intending or hoping to commit a crime. Rather, the individual must take a “substantial step” towards the completion of the crime in order to be found guilty. Inchoate crimes include aiding and abetting, attempt, and conspiracy. In some cases, inchoate crimes can be punished to the same degree that the underlying crime would be punished, while in other cases, the punishment might be less severe. Statutory crimes include those crimes, in addition to the crimes discussed above, which are proscribed by statute. Three significant types of statutory crimes are alcohol related crimes, drug crimes, traffic offenses, and financial/white collar crimes.
What relationship did the Slavs have with the Vikings
Answer:
The Slavs invited the Viking chief Rurik to be their king and the line between Slavs and Vikings vanished.
Explanation:
In 862, he founded Novgorod, Russia's first important city. Around 880, a nobleman from Novgorod named Oleg moved south to Kiev, a city on the Dnieper River. From Kiev, the Vikings could sail by river and sea to Constantinople. There they could trade for products from distant lands. Kiev grew into a principality, a small state ruled by a prince. As it did, the Viking nobles intermarried with their Slavic subjects and adopted many aspects of Slavic culture.

Explain 2–3 ways in which the Spanish-American War influenced the emergence of the United States as a world power.
The Spanish-American war was an armed conflict between Spain and The United States that occurred in 1898
Explanation:
This conflict originated after the US Navy ship USS Maine was attacked, and American newspapers claimed that the Spanish were responsible. This lead to the US intervention in the Cuban War of Independence, and ended Spanish colonial rule in the Americas, and US acquisition of territories in the western Pacific and Latin America. Even though it was short lasting (10 weeks) and inexpensive, in both resources and human lifes, it marked a turning point for both countries. The US emerged from the war as a world power, with insular possessions in the Caribbean and the Pacific, including Hawaii. It also helped to unite the people of the U.S., helping relieve the tension left after the American Civil War and redefined national identity. It also marked the U.S. entry to international affairs. Since after the conflict, the U.S. intervened in many conflicts around the world and entered many treaties and agreements. It gave way to the building of the Panama Canal, and also marked the growth of the U.S. Navy and Army.

“The Role of the Church was the main reason why there was so little change in Medicine in Middle Ages”. How far do u agree?
I need a conclusion for that statement.
Plz help me ASAP.
I have an exam plzzzzzzzz
Answer: Medicine was inseparable from religious dogmas and the church.
Explanation:
The church was an integral part of everyday medieval life. She was involved in every segment of life, including medicine. There was no progress in medieval medicine since the church ruled out a scientific approach. All knowledge about medicine was taken from antiquity, and there was no progress in absorbing new knowledge in that context. Medicine in the Middle Ages was related to the spiritual; it was based on the belief in the spiritual's inseparability from the material, that is, the body from the soul.
Diseases were attributed to sin either individually or collectively, like the outbreak of epidemics. The fight against diseases was often reduced to the individual, the family took care of the patient, which was almost a common method in the Middle Ages. Progress was recorded only in the twelfth century with the founding of a university and the translation of certain texts from the Arabic language.
