Answer:
While the public's fear of foreign involvements in continental North America may have concurred with Polk's agenda, the war he fought against Mexico that began in May 1846 and concluded in February 1848 sparked widespread criticism throughout political, journalistic, and literary circles in addition to strong support. Following the annexation of Texas, the Mexican government had severed diplomatic relations with the U.S. Polk subsequently sent an envoy, former Louisiana congressman John Slidell, to Mexico to try to resolve disputes over the Texas boundary and over damages that the Mexican government owed to U.S. citizens but could not pay. Polk instructed Slidell to make an offer that the U.S. would pay off Mexico's debt in order to acquire "Upper California and New Mexico" and would spend as much as $40 million to purchase the land.

Which court is the first step in the U.S. judicial system?
U.S. District Court
U.S. Court of Appeals
U.S. Supreme Court
U.S. Traffic Court
Answer:
Explanation:The federal judiciary operates separately from the executive and legislative branches, but often works with them as the Constitution requires. Federal laws are passed by Congress and signed by the President. The judicial branch decides the constitutionality of federal laws and resolves other disputes about federal laws. However, judges depend on our government’s executive branch to enforce court decisions.
Courts decide what really happened and what should be done about it. They decide whether a person committed a crime and what the punishment should be. They also provide a peaceful way to decide private disputes that people can’t resolve themselves. Depending on the dispute or crime, some cases end up in the federal courts and some end up in state courts. Learn more about the different types of federal courts.
Supreme Court
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States. Article III of the U.S. Constitution created the Supreme Court and authorized Congress to pass laws establishing a system of lower courts. In the federal court system’s present form, 94 district level trial courts and 13 courts of appeals sit below the Supreme Court. Learn more about the Supreme Court.
Courts of Appeals
There are 13 appellate courts that sit below the U.S. Supreme Court, and they are called the U.S. Courts of Appeals. The 94 federal judicial districts are organized into 12 regional circuits, each of which has a court of appeals. The appellate court’s task is to determine whether or not the law was applied correctly in the trial court. Appeals courts consist of three judges and do not use a jury.
A court of appeals hears challenges to district court decisions from courts located within its circuit, as well as appeals from decisions of federal administrative agencies.
In addition, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has nationwide jurisdiction to hear appeals in specialized cases, such as those involving patent laws, and cases decided by the U.S. Court of International Trade and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
Learn more about the courts of appeals.
Bankruptcy Appellate Panels
Bankruptcy Appellate Panels (BAPs) are 3-judge panels authorized to hear appeals of bankruptcy court decisions. These panels are a unit of the federal courts of appeals, and must be established by that circuit.
Five circuits have established panels: First Circuit, Sixth Circuit, Eighth Circuit, Ninth Circuit, and Tenth Circuit.
District Courts
The nation’s 94 district or trial courts are called U.S. District Courts. District courts resolve disputes by determining the facts and applying legal principles to decide who is right.
Trial courts include the district judge who tries the case and a jury that decides the case. Magistrate judges assist district judges in preparing cases for trial. They may also conduct trials in misdemeanor cases.
There is at least one district court in each state, and the District of Columbia. Each district includes a U.S. bankruptcy court as a unit of the district court. Four territories of the United States have U.S. district courts that hear federal cases, including bankruptcy cases: Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
There are also two special trial courts. The Court of International Trade addresses cases involving international trade and customs laws. The U.S. Court of Federal Claims deals with most claims for money damages against the U.S. government.
Bankruptcy Courts
Federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over bankruptcy cases involving personal, business, or farm bankruptcy. This means a bankruptcy case cannot be filed in state court. Through the bankruptcy process, individuals or businesses that can no longer pay their creditors may either seek a court-supervised liquidation of their assets, or they may reorganize their financial affairs and work out a plan to pay their debts
Congress created several Article I, or legislative courts, that do not have full judicial power. Judicial power is the authority to be the final decider in all questions of Constitutional law, all questions of federal law and to hear claims at the core of habeas corpus issues. Article I Courts are:

The economy declined.
The economy grew slightly.
The economy grew rapidly.
Answer: The economy declined.
Explanation:
Many people were poor, and there were no more free health services.
Then there are a number of blind, crippled, and handicapped people here, who could not find work in regular fields. If work was plentiful. These people have to live some way, probably they have families who do all in their power for them. Yet there are always things needed that cannot be provided. Now that they can get bags to string, they not only can provide the necessary things for themselves, but it gives them a new outlook, a feeling that they are not useful citizens, instead of helpless burdens.
–Mrs. H. S. Jones from Leaksville, NC,
1939

This refusal by the Senate to approve the treaty is an example of...
international relations
rule of law
executive veto
checks and balances
Answer:
D) Checks and balances.
Explanation:
Checks and balances are instated by a government to limit the amount of power a branch has on another by giving the other branches the ability to "check" and act on the other for a fair government. International relations would deal with standings with other countries, nations, or kingdoms, while executive veto is the power of the President to deny any bill that has been passed. But since this example doesn't describe Wilson vetoing anything, it can't be C. Rule of law is saying that anyone, no matter how much power, wealth, title or status you have, everyone is bound to the law. The option left is D, because the Senate is "limiting" the authority of the executive branch (a president and his cabinet) by refusing to approve the Versailles Treaty. And that's why Wilson and America didn't join the League of Nations.

Answer:
It named coordinates on Oregon Territory
Explanation:
Oregon Territory. Polk called for expansion that included Texas, California, and the entire Oregon territory. The northern boundary of Oregon was the latitude line of 54 degrees, 40 minutes. "Fifty-four forty or fight!" was the popular slogan that led Polk to victory against all odds.
Answer:
its the last one
Explanation:
The full expression is "Fifty-four Forty or Fight." It was the campaign slogan of Presidential candidate James K. Polk in 1844. In the 1840's pioneers streaming out to the Oregon territory were all the rage, but the problem was no one was quite sure where the northern border of the territory was, and when you might actually be in Canada, which of course was a foreign country owned by the British. The U.S. position was that the northern border of the northwest corner of the United States should be 54 degrees 40 minutes north latitude, (which is actually so far north that it is now the southern border of Alaska.) As you can imagine, the British had other thoughts about this as this would have left them without any Pacific Ocean access on the west coast of North America. At one point some hotheads on both sides thought this issue could escalate into yet a third war with the British empire. James Polk campaigned on all this war fever border macho in the 1844 election, and took the campaign position we should fight Britain to establish this as the new border, complete with the new catchy slogan mentioned above. He won his election, and then dialed it down a bit as it then started to look like we were also going to be headed into a war with Mexico to establish the southern border. President Polk wisely decided he did not want to have to fight a two-border war with two different countries at the same time, and so he entered into negotiations with the British. The British proposed the 49th parallel as the new border, which among other things allowed us to have the border as a nice straight line, and so the U.S. accepted this proposal, and that is our current northern border today.
