I have a few questions with a multiple choice answers that I do not understand. Can someone please explain it to me more clearly than my lesson is doing? Any answer that I think I know I will surely put asterisk by.
1. Article IV, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution states: A person charged with any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed from the State having Jurisdiction from the Crime. How does this section of the Constitution help develop the rule of law?
A. It gives states the authority to get what they need from other states.****
B. It ensures that states respect the laws and the law systems of other states.
C. It makes it clear that certain crimes are more serious than others.
D. It allows criminals to escape but only when a state is unjust.
2. In Article I, the U.S. Constitution says "No state shall coin money...." Instead, the Constitution grants authority to coin money to the national government. This means that coining money is an example of what kind of power?
A. reserved
B. shared
C. delegated****
D. concurrent
3. Which of the following is most likely to be undertaken by the federal government?
A. organizing the construction of a new public university
B. writing additional requirements for teaching licences
C. revising a citizenship test for immigrants
D. passing new laws to encourage trade in state (This question's answer I have no idea what it is)
Please somebody help me I'm so lost :(
On question 3, think about what kind of things happen WITHIN a state and what things happen that affect ALL the states. The national government usually stays out of things that affect only things within any state, but has authority over NATIONAL affairs.
Sorry I forgot to space out while I was typing my questions and everything else. I know it looks stuck together but please try to understand. Thanks.
1. A -- you're close, but there's a better answer.
2. C. No -- http://study.com/academy/lesson/reserved-powers-definition-examples.html
3. No. Business within a state is controlled by the state.
1. The correct answer is B. It ensures that states respect the laws and the law systems of other states.
Explanation: Article IV, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution establishes the legal principle of extradition, which is the process of returning a fugitive from one state to another. This section ensures that if a person commits a crime in one state and flees to another state, they can be extradited back to face justice. This helps to develop the rule of law by promoting cooperation and respect between states, ensuring that individuals cannot simply escape punishment by crossing state lines.
2. The correct answer is C. delegated.
Explanation: Article I of the U.S. Constitution outlines the powers of the legislative branch, specifically Congress. In this section, it states that "No state shall coin money," indicating that the authority to coin money is not given to the states but rather delegated to the national government. This means that coining money is an example of a delegated power, one that the Constitution specifically grants to the federal government.
3. The most likely answer is D. passing new laws to encourage trade in state.
Explanation: While all the options mentioned could potentially involve both state and federal government action, passing new laws to encourage trade in state is more likely to be undertaken by the federal government. The federal government has the authority to regulate interstate commerce and maintain a consistent approach to trade across the entire nation. Writing additional requirements for teaching licenses and revising a citizenship test for immigrants are issues that can vary across states and are typically within the jurisdiction of each state. Organizing the construction of a new public university could involve both state and federal involvement, depending on the specific circumstances, but it is generally the responsibility of the state to govern its educational institutions.
