9 - we only had one revolution in the US however I think both have constitutions:

10. I am not sure but I should think more dependent on how far north or south (latitude) than east or west (longitude)
I suspect NW Mexico is tops:

To get the answer to question 5, you can eliminate options that are historically incorrect. The Olmecs were an ancient civilization that predated the Maya and did not build Mexico City, so option A is incorrect. The Maya did not conquer the Valley of Mexico, so option B is also incorrect. The Spanish did indeed build Mexico City on the ruins of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan, after they conquered it in the 16th century, which makes option C the correct answer.
To get the answer to question 8, you can consider the geographical regions of Mexico and the suitability for crop cultivation. Baja California is a desert region and not suitable for widespread agriculture, so it can be eliminated. The Yucatán is characterized by a tropical climate and dense rainforests, which may not be favorable for large-scale crop production. Northwestern Mexico also has a predominantly desert climate. The Southern Mexico Plateau, on the other hand, is a region with fertile soils and a more temperate climate, making it the most suitable region for growing crops. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
To get the answer to question 9, you can assess the current political system in Mexico. Mexico has transitioned from one-party rule under the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) to a multi-party system, indicating that option A is incorrect. Mexico does not currently have an established dictatorship, so option B can be eliminated. While the Mexican government has experienced several revolutions and significant political changes throughout its history, it currently operates under a constitutional framework. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
To get the answer to question 10, you can consider factors that affect agricultural productivity. Altitude, latitude, and animal species may all play a role, but variations in longitude do not directly impact agricultural suitability. So, option B would be the correct answer.
