Question

supporters of manifest destiny argued that it led to:
a. \civilization\ and progress into new lands
b. greater equality for native americans and protection of their lands
c. more trade with european nations and other major powers around the world
d. less structure and would cause the united states to start declining

what did the practice of \coverture\ mean for married women in the 1800s?
a. married women could vote in local elections
b. married women kept full control of their wages and property
c. married women were treated as property of their husbands
d. married women were required to serve in the military to gain equality

Explanation:

For the first question, Manifest Destiny was the belief that the expansion of the US across the American continents was both justified and inevitable. Supporters saw it as bringing "civilization" and progress to new lands. Option B is incorrect as Native Americans faced displacement, not greater equality. Option C is not the main argument of Manifest Destiny proponents. Option D is the opposite of what they believed.
For the second question, coverture was a legal doctrine. In the 1800s, under coverture, a married woman's legal identity was subsumed by her husband. She did not have full control of wages and property (so B is wrong), could not vote (so A is wrong), and there was no requirement for military service (so D is wrong).

Answer:

First question: A. "Civilization" and progress into new lands
Second question: C. Married women were treated as property of their husbands
