List four challenges faced by the new government within the US
Challenge 1: A new Democratic-held House : The new US House of Representatives will now be a constant thorn in the President's side. When the Democrats won control of it in November's midterms their greatest prize was probably the power of the subpoena. Led by veteran insider Nancy Pelosi, they can now compel witnesses to cooperate with the many investigations they're currently setting up. The aim? To put the first-term President under constant pressure.
Challenge 2: Legislative gridlock : In that environment, will any serious bipartisan legislation see the light of day? Probably not. Donald Trump may market himself as a dealmaker but if the shutdown is any guide, reserves of goodwill are low on both sides.
Challenge 3: The Mueller inquiry: Of course, several previous presidents have survived, and yes thrived, politically, despite clashes with Congress. The biggest unknown hanging over Donald Trump (and friends) is the Russia investigation.
Challenge 4: The threat of impeachment : With the Russia probe coming towards a conclusion, impeachment is a topic that's moved from the margins slightly closer to the mainstream. "If Bob Mueller comes to the American people … with concrete evidence that the President committed crimes then it is the duty of the Congress to impeach him and try him," Ms Solis Doyle said. A few newly elected Democrats have caused controversy by demanding Mr Trump be impeached soon. Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American elected to Congress, notably used impolite language to express her views, outraging some right-wing cable news hosts as a result.

O The Athenians wanted to unify the city-states.
O The Spartans wanted to expand their territory.
O Xerxes I hoped to create an alliance with Sparta.
O Darius I wanted to punish Athens for supporting a revolt.
Answer:
The Persian Wars began in 499 BCE, when Greeks in the Persian-controlled territory rose in the Ionian Revolt. Athens, and other Greek cities, sent aid, but were quickly forced to back down after defeat in 494 BCE. Subsequently, the Persians suffered many defeats at the hands of the Greeks, led by the Athenians.
Answer:
D. Darius wanted to fight athens becuase they led a revolt.
Explanation:
Persia conquered Ionia, and some of them got rebellious and wanted to start a revolt. But they needed help. SO they asked Athens for help. Athens and the conquered Ionians then fought the Persians and Darius not so Great wanted to get revenge, so what better way than to send his not so friendly army to Greece to destroy and conquer. They lost though. Lol. They suck.

Next, list the good parts of putting the Japanese in the camps and the bad parts. If you can't come up with good things, then make something up.
Next is more of your opinion. Did the US do a good thing of putting Japanese Americans in camps? State your opinion and then give a few reasons why.

In your own words, explain three factors that impacted the increase in population in Texas between 1836-1846.
Answer:
Texas was no longer connected with Mexico and had its own constitution which was very similar to the Constitution of the United States. The land in Texas was cheap and easy to get. Before 1836 the head of a family could get up to 4,605 acres and as time went on they could still obtain up to 640 acres of land. People who bought the land did not have to live on it which meant they could sell it to other settlers and make a good profit. Immigrants were promised additional land if they stayed for three years. They also knew that their property and goods would not be taken away if they were in debt which was very important during the deprssion in Texas. Immigrant agents also recruited settlers to move to Texas and made the process very easy for them to gain land.
Explanation:
Answer:
Texas had cheap land and they had promised immigrants they would give them more land after staying for 3 years. They also said that before the heed family you could get up to 4,605 acres and as time went on they could still obtain up to 640 acres of land.

How were states rights addressed in the Mexican federal constitution?
Answer:
Explanation:
A committee consisting of Ramos Arizpe, Cañedo, Miguel Argüelles, Rafael Mangino, Tomás Vargas, Jose de Jesús Huerta, and Manuel Crescencio Rejón, submitted an Acta Constitutiva (draft of a constitution) on 20 November. The group completed the draft of the charter in a few days.

Tariff policies of the Republic of Texas varied from an approximation of free trade to the imposition of high duties for revenue purposes. In general, East Texas wanted low tariffs or none at all, West Texas and President Sam Houston advocated high customs for revenue, and president Mirabeau B. Lamar favored abolition of all tariffs. An ordinance of the Consultation on November 13, 1835, granted power to the General Council to impose impost and tonnage duties and provide for their collection. Between 1835 and 1842, seven tariff bills were passed and signed into law and several were passed by Congress but vetoed by Houston. On December 8, 1835, the General Council formed six revenue districts and fixed duties of 20 percent ad valorem on goods entitled to debenture or certificate of drawback in the ports from which they were exported and 10 percent on all other goods except household goods, guns, and ammunition, which were to be admitted free. The rates were raised to 23 and 15 percent respectively by an act of December 27, 1835. An act of December 15, 1836, provided a tonnage duty of $1.25 a ton on all
