According to the lesson, which u. s. president opened up diplomatic relations with the people's republic of china?
jimmy carter
gerald ford
ronald reagan
richard nixon

The correct answer is Richard Nixon.

President Nixon visited the People's Republic of China in 1972.

It was the end of the 25-year-long no communication period between these two countries and the first step in normalizing relations. It was also done to gain more leverage over relations with the Soviet Union.

Nixon said that this visit 'changed the world' because it drove a wedge between the Soviet Union and China and shifted the relationship between the three countries during the Cold War.

This visit made it possible for Americans to see the first imagines of China for over two decades.

both are true, the congress does have the power to create banks, even if this power is not specifically described in the constitution, since there is nothing restricting it and there is power given to the congress to make "all laws which shall be necessary and proper". maryland was not allowed to tax a branch of the national bank operating there, and the supreme court decided that no state could. both of these topics were discussed in a decision of the mcculloch v. maryland case in 1819.
