In the federalist paper #84, alexander hamilton argues that additional amendments to the u. s. constitution and a bill of rights was which of the following selections? a. a condition for ratification b. critical for protecting fundamental rights c. unlikely d. unnecessary

D. unnecessary

Federalist No. 84 presents the idea that a bill of rights was not a necessary component of the United States Constitution. There was a fear among people that, if a bill of rights were included, it would be interpreted as a list of the ONLY rights that people had. Hamilton's position reflected this fear. Additionally, he argued that a bill of rights was not necessary because the entire constitution was, in itself, a bill of rights.

a reason that was key to coolidge's victory in the 1924 presidental election was that; democratic party supporters were split in the north and south.

during the debate over his landmark energy policy proposal, president jimmy carter failed to consult one of the most powerful senators, louisiana’s russell long, who would have a big say over whether the legislation moved through the upper chamber. this was classic carter. with a strong distaste for congressional politics, the president simply refused to do what most other presidents would consider routine, such as courting key senators. long became so irate with the president that when he was finally invited to a white house dinner, he stood up to ask a question and, before doing so, proceeded to sarcastically introduce himself: “i’m russell long, chairman of the senate finance committee.”

this interaction is a revealing moment in stuart e. eizenstat’s fascinating new history of carter’s presidency. the former peanut farmer from georgia was a president who, according to conventional wisdom, didn’t care much for party politics; nonetheless, in eizenstat’s view, carter’s legacy on domestic and foreign policy has been vastly underappreciated. the author paints carter as a “bold and determined” leader who bravely attacked the challenges of his time. eizenstat goes so far as to argue that carter might very well be the most successful one-term president in american history.
