Sample response: The boy's counsel could argue that the sentence is cruel and unusual punishment. This is prohibited by the Eighth Amendment. The boy does not have the judgment of an adult and cannot be punished as an adult. In fact, even if the boy were an adult, life in prison could be a cruel or unusual sentence.

What conclusion can you draw from the fact that Spanish and Portuguese are the most commonly spoken languages in Latin America?
Sergio [31]

The correct answer is  C) Spain and Portugal colonized Latin American nations during the 15th and 16th centuries.

At the arrival of the Iberian conqueror, Latin America was not empty. In 1500 the indigenous population was more than 100 million (by 1810 this had diminished to 10 million "by means of civilization") and its level of development was greatly varied: some were living as tribal people; others, as the “Quechuas”, the “Aymaras”, the “Mayas” or the “Aztecas” had constituted high civilizations. During the colonial period, the domination was centered around the Spanish or Portuguese metropolis, coexisting with the local, almost absolute power, of the agent or the landowner. The encounters of the Spanish and Portuguese with the indigenous peoples of Central and South America in the early sixteenth century were to establish a pattern of conquest and subjugation which would persist throughout the colonial period.

For each of the presidential powers below, explain one way that congressional decision making is affected by that power. • veto
marshall27 [118]
The decisions of Congress are heavily influenced by the power of the president. One example would be the power of veto. Even if Congress passes a law in both the House of Representatives and Senate, it does not become a law until the president officially signs it. If the president vetoes (overrules) this law, then Congress must be able to override this veto with a 2/3 vote in both the Senate and House. With this in mind, Congress must ensure before passing the law that if it is vetoed that they would have the power to still make this law possible.

As commander in chief, the president has significant power of the military. Even though Congress needs to approve a declaration of war, they must consider what policies the president will implement once the country is at war.
