Amain purpose of the president‘s state of the union address is to - identify major policy issues - explain supreme court decisions - challenge congressional actions - speak out against political opponents

The correct answer is A) Identify major policy issues.

The main purpose of the president‘s State of the Union address is to identify major policy issues.

One of the things that characterize the work of the President of the United States is that he has to inform the entire nation about the major issues of the country and the solution considered. The United States Constitution in Article II, section 3, clause 1, establishes that the President of the Union States has to inform Congress about the state of the Union. This is the way the US President informs the nation about the situation in the country.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
