Question

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

Explanation:

The Teller Amendment (1898) stated that the US would not annex Cuba after the Spanish - American War and aimed to ensure Cuban independence. The Platt Amendment (1901) placed restrictions on Cuba's sovereignty (such as allowing the US to intervene in Cuban affairs), but still recognized Cuba as a nation - state. Both were focused on the rights and status of Cuba in different ways. The first option is wrong as only the Platt Amendment related to US naval rights (Guantanamo Bay). The second option is incorrect as the Teller Amendment was before the Cuban constitution was a major issue. The third option is wrong as neither was mainly about trading rights with Spain.

Answer:

They both were concerned with the rights of Cuba.
