How did the American indian populations numbering in the millions fall under the dominance of much smaller groups of Europeans?

D) diseases wiped out great numbers of Americans Indians.

Explanation:

American Indian populations numbering in the millions fall under the dominance of much smaller groups of Europeans because diseases wiped out great numbers of Americans Indians.

Native American Indians were clean, healthy people that had good habits and were used to take from the Earth what they needed. But when the European conquerors arrived at the American territories, they brought with them a series of diseases unknown to the American Indians, and that is why they were not immune to these diseases. Among those diseases brought by the European people are bubonic plague, cholera, typhus, chickenpox, diphtheria, pneumonia, measles, influenza, smallpox, and tuberculosis.

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.
