Compared to a federal system, constituent states of a country under a confederal system would be more likely to be able to do which of the selections listed below? select one: a. create treaties and trade agreements with foreign nations b. reject laws adopted by the majority of other states c. maintain their own military forces d. all of these

D. all of these

Explanation:

In a confederation, each member state has great independence when it comes to legislation. This is because a confederation is a "looser" alliance than a federation. Moreover, it has a weaker central government. On the other hand, the members of a federation would not be able to create treaties and trade agreements with foreign nations, reject laws adopted by the majority of other states or maintain their own military forces.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
