19 points! explain the importance of the united states' role in the international collection of reparations after world war i

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The United States' role in the international collection of reparations after World War I was the following.

As a consequence of the destruction caused during World War 1, Germany had to pay reparations to other countries affected. Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles in Paris, France, and an international commission for reparations was created. According to the Commission, Germany had to pay 33 billion in reparations. In September 1921, Germany paid $251 million but an economic crisis impeded it to continue with the payments. Then, the United States intervened with a solution: the Dawes Plan. It was proposed by American banker and diplomat  Charles Dawes to end with the Allied occupation of Germany. Dawes shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1925.

constitution, and in all respects subordinate to it. insofar

as it deals with presidential power, however, the american

constitution has proved to be a highly malleable document.

they were ratified in 1787. but in the late twentieth century, those provisions do not mean what they meant in

1787. the constitution is a legal document, and it is enforced judicially; but its meaning was hardly fixed when it

was ratified. in particular, the contemporary president has

far broader powers than the original constitution contemplated. it is remarkable but true that large-scale changes in

the authority of the president have been brought about

without changes in the constitutional text, but nevertheless

without significant illegality.

this is a paradox. is it not clear that constitutional

changes, if not textual, are illegal? the paradox has considerable relevance to our current thinking about the presidency in particular and about constitutionalism in general.

perhaps the framers of the american constitution feared

legislative power most of all; 2 but from well-known events

in the twentieth century, it is possible to conclude that it is

presidential power that holds out the greatest risks to both

liberty and democracy. the president is by far the most visible leader in the nation; he is often the only person in government with a national constituency. moreover, he is
