The president has the power to nominate the Supreme Court justices but to do so 2/3 of the senate only not the house of representatives have to approve the appointment. Take the nomination of Justice Amy Coney Barret for example President Trump nominated her for the Supreme Court and relativey quickly 2/3 of senate approved and she was appointed. If senate had not given a 2/3 vote Justice Amy Barret would not have become part of the Supreme Court. This is one of congress' checks and balances.

Why did the Mier y Terán Report lead to the creation of the Law of April 6, 1830?
A. The report showed an excess number of Mexican immigrants
B. The report showed an excess of slaves
C. The report showed the settlers weren’t adopting the Mexican culture and Angleo settlers greatly outnumbered Mexican settlers.
D. The report showed Texas was in debt
Answer:
The Law of April 6, 1830 was issued because of the General Mier y Terán Report. The Law of April 6, 1830 angered many Mexicans, Tejanos, and Anglos alike in Texas. This decree placed a severe halt on American immigration to Mexico. The Texians wanted the 1824 General Colonization Law (Constitution of 1824) to be restored.
Contents
Law Edit
In 1827 and 1829, the United States offered to purchase Mexican Texas.
Both times, President Guadalupe Victoria declined to sell part of the border state.[1] After the failed Fredonian Rebellion in east Texas, the Mexican government asked General Manuel Mier y Terán to investigate the outcome of the 1824 General Colonization Law in Texas. In 1829, Mier y Terán issued his report, which concluded that most Anglo Americans tried to isolate themselves from Mexicans. He also noted that slave reforms passed by the state were being ignored.[2]
Almost all of Mier y Terán's recommendations were adopted in a series of laws passed on April 6, 1830 under President Anastasio Bustamante.[3]
The law explicitly banned any further immigration from the United States to Texas, inclusive of any new slaves.[4] Settlement contracts were brought under federal rather than state control, and colonies that did not have at least 150 inhabitants would be canceled.[5] Provisions of the law were designed to encourage Mexican citizens to move from the interior to Texas. Mexicans who agreed to relocate to Texas would get good land, free transportation to Texas, and some financial assistance.[3] Convicts would be sent to Texas to build fortifications and roads to stimulate trade.[3][6]
Other parts of the law were targeted at those already living in Texas. Bustamante rescinded the property tax law, which had exempted immigrants from paying taxes for ten years. He further increased tariffs on goods entering Mexico from the United States, causing their prices to rise.[7]
Response Edit
The ban and other measures did not stop U.S. citizens from migrating to Texas by the thousands, and by 1834, it was estimated that over 30,000 Anglos lived in Texas,[8] compared to only 7,800 Mexicans.[9]
In regard to slavery, influential settler Stephen F. Austin, who reasoned that the success of his colonies necessitated free slave labor, and the economics it produced in order to lure more whites to the area, used his relationships to get an exemption from the law. [6] Therefore, slavery remained in Texas until the end of the Civil War.

Explanation:
just took the test :)
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Because took the test.
An ant has a mass of approximately 4 x 10-3 grams and an elephant has a mass of approximately 8 x 106 grams.
An ant can lift up to 100 times its mass. How much can the ant lift? Express answer in scientific notation.
Answer: An ant has a mass of approximately 4×10âˆ′3 grams and an elephant has a mass of approximately 8 metric tons.
How many ants does it take to have the same mass as an elephant?
An ant is 10âˆ′1 cm long. If you put all these ants from your answer to part (a) in a line (front to back), how long would the line be? Find two cities in the United States that are a similar distance apart to illustrate this length.
Note: 1 kg = 1000 grams, 1 metric ton = 1000 kg, 1m = 100 cm, 1km = 1000 m
IM Commentary
In this problem students are comparing a very small quantity with a very large quantity using the metric system. The metric system is especially convenient when comparing measurements using scientific notations since different units within the system are related by powers of ten.
Solution
First we observe that the mass of the ant is in grams, where the mass of the elephant is in metric tons. We cannot compare the two masses as is, so we first convert them into the same units. We can do this with ratios, using the conversion chart above to convert metric tons into kilograms and then kilograms into grams.
(8 metric tons)(1000 kg1 metric ton)(1000 grams1 kg)=8,000,000 grams=8×106 grams
Notice that both metric tons and kg appear once on both the top and the bottom, enabling them to be canceled out, leaving only grams. Also note that we could have converted .003 grams into metric tons, and though this would have given an answer with a large number of decimal places, we would end up with the same final result.
Now that both quantities are in grams, we want to find how many ants, n, are required to have the same mass as the elephant. As each ant has a mass of 4×10âˆ′3 grams, we multiply 4×10âˆ′3 by n to get the total mass of the ants
total mass of n ants=4×10−3n
and then we set this equal to the mass of the elephant:
4×10−3n=8×106
We find that n=2×109 ants.
Thus, it takes approximately 2×109 ants to have the same mass as an elephant.
Each ant is 10âˆ′1 cm long, and we have 2×109 ants total. If we put all these ants in a line (front to back), we can find the length of the line by multiplying the length of one ant by how many ants we have:
2×109×10âˆ′1 cm=2×108 cm
As is, this answer is difficult to illustrate because it is such a large number. To find two objects that are this distance apart, we first want to convert centimeters into more useful units. We do this by using ratios from the above chart, converting centimeters to meters and meters to kilometers.
(2×108 cm)(1 m102 cm)(1 km103 m)=2×103 km=2000 km
This amount is much easier to visualize, and it turns out that 2000 km is approximately the driving distance from San Francisco, California to Denver, Colorado.An ant has a mass of approximately 4×10âˆ′3 grams and an elephant has a mass of approximately 8 metric tons.

The chart shows the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, which was the first constitution of the United States. The correct option is A.
How to explain the informationThe Articles gave too much power to the states and not enough power to the central government. This made it difficult for the central government to raise taxes, regulate trade, or conduct foreign policy. As a result, the United States was in a weak position both domestically and internationally.
The other options are incorrect. Option B is the weaknesses of the U.S. Constitution, which was the document that replaced the Articles of Confederation. Option C is the effects of the Northwest Ordinance, which was a law passed by the Continental Congress in 1787 that established the Northwest Territory. Option D is the effects of the Great Compromise, which was an agreement reached at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 that created a bicameral legislature with a House of Representatives based on population and a Senate with two representatives from each state.

England Colonization
1 Queen Elizabeth wanted to establish colonies in the Americas in order to grow the British Empire and to counter the Spanish, who had settled first in present-day St. Augustine, Florida (1565). The English hoped to find wealth, create new jobs, and establish trade ports along the coast of the Americas. The first successful English settlement was Jamestown, Virginia (1607).
2 Each colony, however, has its own unique history on how it was founded. Many of the colonies were founded by religious leaders or groups looking for religious freedom. These colonies included Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Other colonies were founded purely in hopes of creating new trade opportunities and profits for investors.
Why did Colonists Come
3 Many settlers came for better economic opportunities. Europe was really crowded and it was difficult to find a job. Families would also leave their fortunes to older sons which made younger siblings look somewhere else for money. Indentured Servants came and agreed to work for a family in exchange for a boat ticket.
4 Many settlers came for religious freedom. The Protestant Reformation created hundreds of new religious groups and some religions became oppressed. The most famous group is the Pilgrims in Plymouth Rock (present-day Massachusetts, 1620).
5 However, many settlers were forced to come against their will. African slaves were kidnapped or traded in order to come to American and work. Many came and were forced to work on large plantations with no hope of freedom.
Carolina Colony
6 Initially given to Sir Robert Heath in 1629 by King Charles I, North and South Carolina were once one colony (Carolina). However, nothing was created from it. Eventually, Virginia settlers started moving South to present-day North Carolina in the late 1650s-early 1660s. The first permanent English settlers, Nathaniel Batts and George Durant, purchased land from the natives who lived in the Albemarle Region (present-day Northeastern N.C.) By the time the British king (Charles II) chartered it in 1663, hundreds of settlers were already living there.
7 King Charles II split up the Carolina colony among eight Lords Proprietors, men who helped him regain the throne after the English Civil War. The Lords Proprietors were required to collect taxes, or quit-rents, from the settlers in order to keep their share of the land. The problem? The settlers, who were used to living independently without paying taxes, refused to do this.
8 The tension over taxes and political power led to multiple conflicts between the settlers and Lords Proprietors’ colonial officials, including Culpeper’s Rebellion (1677). Continued conflicts over politics and religion, plus fighting with the natives (notably the Tuscarora War) split the colony into North and South Carolina in 1712. North Carolina became a royal colony in 1729, controlled by the king himself.

Why did Queen Elizabeth I want to colonize the New World (Americas)?
