Which of the following was a part of the Treaty of Paris of 1898 that ended the Spanish American War? *
1 point
a. Cuba became a Spanish colony
b. Puerto Rico and Guam were made US territories
c. Spain admitted it had blown up the Maine
d. The Philippines became independent

b. Puerto Rico and Guam were made US territories.

Explanation:

Spain did not admit a responsibility in the explosion onboard of the Maine, because it had nothing to do with it. The Philippines went to be annexed by the United States as Spanish sovereignty was transferred to the U.S. Cuba was granted independence from Spain but fell into American influence that controlled its domestic politics. Puerto Rico and Guam became American territories; Guam is still, and Puerto Rico is a free associate state with Puerto Ricans entitled to have an American passport and free entry to the U.S. today.

explanation:

in the united states, the president is controlled by the

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.

with very few exceptions,' the constitutional provisions relating to the president have not been changed at all since

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
