The correct answers are:

1 a. The South's strong military tradition.

2 c. produced more food crops.

Explanation:

The Confederary had bulked a strong military tradition before the 1860s. They also counted with some of the most brilliant soldiers and commanders of the nation like Jefferson Davis or "Stonewall" Jackson. Jefferson Davis was a notable graduate of the U.S. Military academy and a hero of the Mexican-American War.

On the other hand, while most of the crops produced in the South were intended for export, like tobacco and cotton, in the North they had smaller plantations producing food crops and more machines to facilitate the process.

Read the quote from James Madison. If men were angels, no government would be necessary. . . . In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself. The main idea that Madison addresses in this passage is why the US government is needed. must be weak. is not needed. must be strong.
