Around 1803 Britain and France renewed their war which put America's neutrality to test. The French fleet was defeated by the British Navy, thus giving the British empire control over the seas. At first, this situation benefited American merchants, as they would buy coffee and sugar brought from French and Spanish colonies to Europe. But Great Britain wasn't very happy about it as the price of their products were affected.

After invoking the Rule of 1756, which stated that "ports should not be open during war to neutral replacements", Britain began a blockade of French-controlled European ports. They also seized American Merchantships, and even took alleged British deserters off American vessels and returned them to their service. The problem was that some of these men were not British born, but U.S. born citizens. So Jefferson decided to resolve this crisis by economic pressure.

Through The Embargo Act. Jefferson denied both Great Britain and France American goods. This Act stopped exports and prohibited the departure of merchant ships for foreign ports. Import was also eliminated as foreign ships couldn't bring goods and leave without cargo. During the last months of his administration, Congress replaced the Embargo Act with the Non-Intercourse Act,that banned trade with England and France but allowed it with other countries.

Paine published Common Sense, a hugely influential pamphlet that convinced many American colonists that the time had finally come to break away from British rule.

Explanation:

Answer:

C. There is a system of checks and balances to prevent abuse of power.

Explanation:

During the debates to ratify the U.S. Constitution as we know it today, two main groups emerged: those who supported it alleging that it was necessary to establish a strong central government with enough enforce powers to properly lead the nation (the Federalists), and those who opposed its ratification believing that it gave too much power to the government and did not specify people's rights, which would inevitably lead the government to abuse its powers (the Anti-federalists).

However, to this objection, the Federalists argued that under the newly proposed constitution the government was divided into three branches who would rule under the system of checks and balances, which it's a system whereby each branch of the government can oversee, limit and check the actions of the other, and this way, the system could prevent abuse of power.
