D) political opposition

Explanation:

The Alien and Sedition Acts were a series of laws passed by the United States Congress and signed into law by President John Adams in 1798. These laws made it more difficult for immigrants to become citizens. They also allowed the president to imprison and deport foreigners if they were considered "dangerous." However, critics believed that the laws were passed in order to suppress voters who disagreed with the Federalist Party.

Answer from: Quest

the articles of confederation only set up the continental congress at the federal level. there were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. the states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to congress. the bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.

not many historians today talk about the strengths of the articles of confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. the articles did set the legislative body, congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress. the document also stipulated that canada was allowed to enter the union if they desired.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.

Question 1 (1 point) five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. but one hundred years later, the negro still is not free. one hundred years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languished in the corners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. and so we’ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition. in the first paragraph of this passage, which literary technique does mlk use? question 1 options: a. this is an example of personification because it compares segregation to being in chains. b. this is an example of hyperbole because it gives it gives human characteristics to segregation. c. this is an example of allusion because it references the language used in the emancipation proclamation, which freed slaves in 1863, 100 years before this speech was presented. d. this is an example of onomatopoeia because he uses the words seared and withering to describe the injustices experienced by african americans.
