The system known as "triangular trade" involved a) europe, africa, and asia. b) asia, africa, and australia. c) africa, asia, and north america. d) north america, europe, and africa.

It involved North America, Europe and Africa. Triangular Trade was the system responsible for the development of most european colonies in America and one of the greatest trade routes of it's time. It sought to take colonial products, such as tobacco and cotton, to Europe to sell, and there buy textiles and manufactured goods to be exchanged for slaves in Africa, taking them back to America. One important variation of this trade route was passing through the caribbean before going to Europe and/or Africa, that way slaves could be bought with rum, this was a very a good deal for americans since rum was very expensive in Africa.

The correct answer is C. In Marbury v. Madison, Marbury wanted to force Madison to give him his commission.

Explanation:

Marbury v. Madison was a judicial case resolved by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1803. It arose as a result of a political dispute following the presidential elections of 1800, in which Thomas Jefferson, who was a Democratic Republican, defeated then-President John Adams, who was a federalist. In the last days of the outgoing government of Adams, the Congress, dominated by the federalists, established a series of judicial positions, among them 42 justices the of peace for the District of Columbia. The Senate confirmed the appointments, the president signed them and the Secretary of State was in charge of sealing and delivering the appointment documents. In the last-minute hustle and bustle, the outgoing secretary of state did not deliver the minutes of appointment to four justices of the peace, including William Marbury.

The new secretary of state under President Jefferson, James Madison, refused to deliver the minutes of appointment as the new government was irritated by the maneuver of the federalists of trying to secure control of the judiciary with the appointment of members of their party just before ceasing in government. However, Marbury appealed to the Supreme Court to order Madison to deliver his record.

If the Court ruled in favor of Marbury, Madison could still refuse to deliver the record and the Supreme Court would have no way to enforce the order. If the Court ruled against Marbury, it risked submitting the judiciary to Jefferson's supporters by allowing them to deny Marbury the position he could legally claim. Chief Justice John Marshall resolved this dilemma by deciding that the Supreme Court was not empowered to settle this case. Marshall ruled that Section 13 of the Judiciary Act, which granted the Court these powers, was unconstitutional because it extended the original jurisdiction of the Court to the jurisdiction defined by the Constitution itself. Having decided not to intervene in this particular case, the Supreme Court secured its position as final arbiter of the law.
