Which of the following describes a major failure in mohandas gandhi's plans for the indian independence movement?

The correct answer is C) Indian territory was divided into two independent Muslim and Hindu countries.

The statement that describes a major failure in Mohandas Gandhi's plans for the Indian independence movement is "Indian territory was divided into two independent Muslim and Hindu countries."

We are talking about the moment in India's history called the "Partition of India." India was divided into two different nations in August 1947: Pakistan, under the Muslim religion of Islam, and India, under Hinduism. The majority of Muslims formed Pakistan, and most Hindus stayed in India. The British Crown rule in India ended with the Indian Independence Act of 1947.

The other options of the question were A) Indian leaders looked mostly to the Soviet Union, rather than the United States for support. B) India's government took the form of a constitutional monarchy following its independence. D) India was only able to gain its freedom by fighting alongside the British in World War II.

necessary and proper clause. the congress shall have power to all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this constitution in the government of the united states, or in any department or officer thereof.

the articles of confederation only set up the continental congress at the federal level. there were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. the states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to congress. the bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.

not many historians today talk about the strengths of the articles of confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. the articles did set the legislative body, congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress. the document also stipulated that canada was allowed to enter the union if they desired.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.
