Explanation:

When the USSR formed they trusted no one but they wanted to get other countries away from America's side and join forces with them.

The correct answer is A. In the 1950s and 1960s, the USSR controlled Eastern European nations via a number of methods, including establishing puppet governments and using force to crush any dissent or opposition to communist rule.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the Cold War, the Soviet Union established a series of satellite states with related governments indirectly controlled by the Soviet government. This set of countries was called the Eastern Bloc, and were bound militarily via the Warsaw Pact.

In addition to the Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc consisted of Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland and the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Sometimes Yugoslavia and Albania are also included in the Eastern bloc.

In the Eastern European areas that fell into the sphere of influence of the Communist Soviet Union after the Second World War, the then leader Stalin brought the Communists to power via coups. He wanted a chain of satellite states that would take the first blows in the event of foreign aggression.

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.
