The unlawful use of violence to achieve political goals describes which type of action? a. terrorism b. sanctions c. surveillance d. retaliation

a. terrorism

Explanation:

Terrorism is the systematic use of violence on a great scale as a tool to impose terror, fear, and a feeling of insecurity on the population in order to achieve political goals. This political method is used by terrorist groups and organizations from different ideologies, religions, ethnic groups, and interests.  Usually, it does not apply to the acts of states and governments (in that case it is called state terrorism) and it is not considered a crime of war because it is produced in the absence of war. Terrorism is condemned by International Law. The term has a high emotional component, for which there is no general consensus on the precise definition of the concept.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
