Question

what was the main similarity between the teller amendment of 1898 and the platt amendment of 1901? they both were concerned with the rights of cuba. they both limited cubas trading rights with spain. they both concerned the rights of the us navy in the caribbean. they both supported the cuban constitution.

Explanation:

The Teller Amendment (1898) stated that the US would not annex Cuba after the Spanish - American War, aiming to respect Cuban sovereignty (in theory). The Platt Amendment (1901) was more of a set of conditions imposed on Cuba. It restricted Cuba's sovereignty in various ways (e.g., in foreign policy, allowing US military intervention). But both amendments were centered around the rights and status of Cuba. The second option is wrong as the Platt Amendment was more about US - Cuba relations rather than Cuba - Spain trading. The third option is incorrect as the Teller Amendment was not about US Navy rights. The fourth option is wrong because the Teller Amendment was before the Cuban constitution was fully in the picture in this context.

Answer:

They both were concerned with the rights of Cuba.
