Answer 1

2. False: The National Road was a federally funded project, but it was not the first step in a federal government-funded transportation system. The Cumberland Road, commonly known as the National Road, was indeed an important early road project, but it was preceded by other federally funded initiatives such as the construction of post roads under the Post Office Act of 1792.3. False: The Constitution does not explicitly state that all revenue or income collected by the government should originate in the House of Representatives. The Origination Clause (Article I, Section 7, Clause 1) specifies that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House, but it doesn't mandate that all government income must come from there. Other forms of income, such as tariffs and duties, can be initiated in the Senate.4. False: Clermont was not a canal; it was the name of the first commercially successful steam-powered boat. The Erie Canal, completed in 1825, was the first canal for transporting goods in the United States and played a significant role in connecting the Great Lakes to the Hudson River.5. False: The Erie Canal was a major success and significantly improved water transportation and trade between New York City and Buffalo, New York. It opened up new avenues for commerce, reduced transportation costs, and contributed to the economic development of the region.
