Question 20

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: There's no historical basis that Francis Scott Key wrote the song to prove patriotism against spy accusations.
• Option B: Francis Scott Key wrote the lyrics while witnessing the Battle of Baltimore (War of 1812), where the American flag still stood, commemorating the American resistance/victory. This matches historical facts.
• Option C: The song was not created with the primary goal of uniting all Americans; it was a response to the battle.
• Option D: The song has no relation to victories over Indians in western territories.

The power of judicial review for the Supreme Court originated from the case Marbury v. Madison, which was about last - minute (midnight) judicial appointments by President Adams. Let's analyze the options:

• Option A: This is correct as Marbury v. Madison dealt with the validity of these last - minute judicial appointments.
• Option B: Judicial review's origin is not related to overriding a presidential veto on territorial expansion.
• Option C: The issue of fugitive enslaved people and their return is not related to the origin of judicial review.
• Option D: Presidential war powers without legislative approval is not the origin of judicial review.

Answer:

B. commemorate an American victory in a battle in the War of 1812.
