Answer:

The Louisiana Purchase was controversial because  MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT PRESIDENT JEFFERSON DIDN'T HAVE THE CONSTITUTIONAL POWER TO DO SO.

However, it was the foundation for the westward expansion of the United States. The purchase doubled the size of the country and  ensured THAT FRANCE WOULD NO LONGER BE A COLONIAL POWER IN NORTH AMERICA.

Explanation:

Louisiana a region of the French colony of New France that was established in 1682, that went from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, between the Rockies and the Mississippi River.

This area was exploited from the French colony of Saint Domingue, today Haiti. That is why, when it became clear that the Haitian Revolution implied the independence of that country, the French government of Napoleon decided to sell Louisiana, since it could not defend it and to raise money to finance its wars in Europe.

Although the opposition to President Jefferson opposed the purchase, it was finally carried out, expanding the territory of the United States to almost double what it had prior to the purchase.

Read the excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free.

Why does Dr. King's allude to the Emancipation Proclamation in his speech?


The allusion demonstrates Dr. King's belief that equality was achieved with the Emancipation Proclamation.


The allusion reflects Dr. King's importance since it refers to another important figure in American history: President Lincoln.


The allusion reminds the audience that 100 years have passed since the Emancipation Proclamation, yet inequality still exists.


The allusion indicates to the audience that enslaving people was always illegal in the United States.

Snake Story
Becky moved off of the porch slowly, backing through the door and into the house. She slammed the sliding glass door shut and stood for a moment, relieved to have something solid between her and the snake on the porch.
The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe, at last, inside. Or was she? How had that snake gotten into the screened-in and walled-up back porch. If it could get in there, it's possible it could get inside where she was as well.
Becky wasn't someone who was normally skittish about wild things. She'd handled snakes before, picked up lizards many times, caught frogs in the garage and let them go. But snakes seemed to always catch her off guard. They would turn up when least expected. She would see them out of the corner of her eye and just the surprise of it would make her jump; her adrenalin would pump, her heart would thump, and her panic would take over.
What was she going to do? She couldn't just stand there waiting for the snake to decide to leave. What if it were venomous? It didn't look like a viper, but it could be. She would need to get out there soon to water the plants.
"What this requires is some advanced planning," she said out loud to her cat, Louie. "And, I will probably have to go 'once more into the fray' kitty," she said, looking in the cat's direction for emphasis.
"First things first, though," she said. The cat meowed back. It often did that, having become used to being talked to. "Let's look that fellow up," Becky said walking to her bookshelf.
"Let's see, snakes," she said, thumbing through her reptile and amphibian identification book. "It's brown and gray, with some black. With a pattern that looks ... there it is," she said thumping the page so hard that Louie jumped. "Not venomous," she said, triumphantly.
"It's an oak snake, Louie," she returned the book and strode over to her closet. "Not venomous, but I am still not taking chances," she said.
She reached into the closet and pulled out her heaviest jacket. It was lined and stuffed thick with lots of padding. Then she found her mittens and a pair of rubber boots. She knew even non-venomous snakes would sometimes threaten to strike when scared. "And that threat would work on me," Becky said aloud again, though Louie had no idea what she was talking about.
"It's 90 degrees outside, Louie," she said, "so get the iced lemonade ready for when I return."
It wasn't much of a plan, but it was the best she could come up with. With her armor on, she was already sweating when she slowly pushed open the sliding glass door and stepped back on to the porch.
She was pretty sure the snake would slither away from her presence. She propped open the outside door, and hoped she could shoo the snake in that direction.
Sweat dampened her arms and collected on her face. She spread her arms out, and took a few steps toward the snake. There was so much for it to hide beneath. Becky regretted the rocking chairs and all the plant stands between where the snake was in the corner and the door to the outside.
At first it seemed like the snake was just going to remain where it was, flicking its tongue every now and then. Becky waved her arms, lunged in its direction, and stomped her feet. It sat there, coiled in the corner, as if perfectly happy to remain there. In a fit of desperation, she picked up one side of the rocking chair the snake was under and let it drop. The snake jumped, raised its head like it was going to strike, and then stayed right where it was.
"Snake," Becky said, "This is not how it works. You have got to go." The snake moved its head back and forth, swaying a bit, and that gave Becky an idea.
She had read somewhere that snakes can "hear" thanks to the ability to process vibrations through the bone in their jaw. This awareness of vibrations in the ground was one reason it was very hard to sneak up on snakes. She quickly realized that getting the snake out was going to be a lot easier than she had thought.
Becky turned on the radio she kept on the porch and lowered it to the ground, pointing in the snake's direction. She adjusted the controls so that the bass was as high as it could go. Then she cranked up the volume. She envisioned the snake swaying to the sounds of "Dancing Queen by Abba, and then leaving the porch and going far far away.
Coming back into the house she began peeling off the now damp armaments she had put on earlier. "Louie, there is more than one way to skin a snake," she said laughing. She watched as the snake uncoiled and moved cautiously in the direction of the door. Bending down to pick up Louie Becky sighed and stroked his head. "'Cause no one ever wants to skin a cat sweetie
The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe at last inside.

How did cultural diffusion change the world of ancient Greece?

Read the passage and answer the question

Friends and fellow citizens: I stand before you tonight under charge for the suspected crime of
having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. It shall be
my work this evening to prove to you that by voting, I committed no crime. Instead, I simply
exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National
Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny.

The preamble of the Federal Constitution says:
"We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare,
and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America."
This was created by the people. Not just the white male citizens. And we formed it, to gain
the blessings of liberty. This was not meant to be for only some of the people, but the whole
people. This includes women as well as men. It is disrespectful to talk to women about the
liberty that they cannot have. They are denied the use of a ballot in a democratic
government.

The government cannot make the right to vote based on being male or female. This is a
violation of the supreme law of the land. Currently, freedom is being withheld from women.
This is not a democracy. It is an aristocracy where the lower class is being overlooked. We are
being considered the lowest class because we are women. The rich are controlling the poor.
Several makes of dictionaries, including Webster, Worcester, and Bouvier all define a citizen
to be a person in the United States, entitled to vote and hold office. Why then are women
unable to vote? Why then am I being charged with a crime because I voted?

The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any of
our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not. Being persons, then, women are
citizens; and no state has a right to make any law, or to enforce any old law, that shall shorten
their privileges. Every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the
several states is today null and void.

After the American Revolution, the newly formed United States realized that it lacked room to grow. The states created in the Declaration of Independence in 1776 were limited in size. As the population increased, more people were competing for the same amount of land. Consequently, land became more expensive, and overcrowding became an issue. The thirteen states were bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the territories of other nations. If the United States was going to have a future, it needed to increase its territory.

Read the passage from the website: www.expandingcountries.edu/unitedstates/louisianapurchase

The United States was determined to expand west. Americans believed in Manifest Destiny, or their divine right to expand and spread democracy. They wanted to go west and live freely without the restrictions of the strict laws in the East. Other issues in the East included limited religious freedom and a lack of jobs. The promise of open land, new jobs, and religious freedom drew people further into the continent. This new land contained untapped resources, such as forests, plains, and ore. When gold was discovered in California, people were eager to head west. The West became synonymous with adventures and new opportunities. However, in order to go west, the United States needed to own the surrounding land.

According to information from both texts, why did the United States want to move westward?
A.
To demonstrate their independence to all
B. To experience religious freedom and obtain more land and natural resources
C. To prove that their empire was the greatest
D. To stop the spread of diseases in different states
