What did the tet offensive show the american people?

a. it seemed to prove that america was not winning in vietnam.
b. it proved that the vietnamese army was too small.
c. it showed that the rebellion in vietnam was almost over.
d. it showed that american soldiers could be successful.

The correct answer is A) it seemed to prove that America was not winning in Vietnam.

The Tet Offensive showed the American people that “it seemed to prove that America was not winning in Vietnam.”

The Tet offensive was a series of coordinated attacks of the North Vietnam Army over South Vietnam cities and locations. The attack tried to make the United States leave and stop supporting South Vietnam. The offensive showed that the South Vietnam Army was not well prepared, that the Vietcong could attack any major Southern city and that the war was not close to being over. When people in America watched or read the news, they started to question the U.S. participation in the war and the protests against the war initiated.  

b) a state law could be declared illegal if it contradicted the constitution.

explanation:

the conflict of this case originated when james w. mcculloch, a cashier of the baltimore branch of the second bank of the united states that the congress had chartered in 1816, refused to pay a tax imposed by the maryland state.

in the case, the state of maryland appealed that the establishment of a second bank was unconstitutional since the constitution didn't say anything about granting that power to congress. however, the case determined that even if such right wasn't specifically stated in the constitution, it was part of the "implied powers" of the government enunciated in article i, section 8.

the case also eliminated maryland's legislation to impose taxes to a national bank, asserting that even though the states retained the power of taxation, the constitution's laws are supreme and can not be controlled by the states, therefore, if a state law contradicts the constitution, it should be declared illegal.

explanation:

well that depends on how deep the hole is. you'd first go through te crust of the earth, then the upper mantle, then the lower mantle then the outer core, then the inner cor then you'd be stuck in the core to melt.
