James Madison would most likely agree with the idea that
state governments should be stronger than a national
government
foreign governments should have influence on state
economies.
each state should regulate its own trade with other
countries
a national government should be supreme over state
governments​

Answers

Answer:

a national government should be supreme over state governments  

Explanation:

just took the test

Former President James Madison is more likely to support the idea that a national government should be supreme over state  governments​.

James Madison was a huge proponent of the Federal government having more power than states and was one of the founders of the Democratic-Republican Party.

As a result of his influence:

the Constitution - which gave the federal government more powers - was passed the Bill of Rights guaranteed the Federal government would protect people over states

Even though he had supported the federal government having more powers than the state government, Madison still believed that there should be limits to federal power and as President, refused to acknowledge the "implied powers" of the Federal government.

During his presidency, James Madison went to war with Britain and the much publicized victories of Andrew Jackson led to the Federalist party disappearing thereby cementing President Madison's view that the federal government should be supreme but with limits.

In conclusion, James Madison supported the need to have the Federal government more powerful than the states in order to preserve the union.

Case A The drama class at a middle school was preparing for their spring play in the school auditorium. One week before the performance, a parent complained to the school board that the play was inappropriate for middle school students. The school board agreed and contacted the principal, who then informed the classes that the show was canceled. Students were upset that their preparations were a waste. They believe they have the right to freedom of expression in performing the play. The school board said that students are minors and that it must approve decisions about what is presented in school by teachers or students. The students did not have time to plan a different show. A group of the students’ parents brought the case to court on their behalf, but they lost the case in state district court. The students’ parents appealed the district court’s decision to their state court of appeals. There the students and their parents won the case, but the school board appealed the decision to their state-level supreme court. The state supreme court ruled in favor of the school board. Unhappy with the state supreme court’s decision, the students’ parents are now appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court. Which type of expression listed in the First Amendment relates to this case?

Answers

Answer:

Freedom of speech

Explanation:

A careful reading of the First Amendment reveals that it protects several basic liberties — freedom of religion, speech, press, petition, and assembly. In this case, the students are appealing because of there freedom of speech being limited by the school.
