The two main areas of dispute were Korea and Manchuria. By 1904, the Japanese had decided that the Russians threatened their ambitions in China and Korea. Both Russia and Japan had imperial ambitions over the territories where they fought - Manchuria and Korea. On February 8, Japanese warships devastated the Russian fleet. The Japanese then occupied the Korean peninsula and drove the Russians back into Manchuria. With the Treaty of Portsmouth, signed on September 5, 1905, the concessions all went to the Japanese. Russia acknowledged Japan’s “predominant political, military, and economic interests in Korea” (Japan would annex the kingdom in 1910), and both powers agreed to evacuate Manchuria.
The Supreme Court cites past cases adhering to the principle of stare decisis. This principle, giving precedence to past rulings, provides consistency to the court system. Yet, there's flexibility allowing adaptation and creation of new precedents as societal needs and circumstances evolve.
The Supreme Court cites past cases as part of its practice of stare decisis, a Latin phrase meaning 'to stand by things decided'. This principle holds that court decisions should largely follow past precedent, providing consistency and stability to the U.S. court system. Past rulings set the 'precedents' that guide interpretations of laws and the Constitution.
During the process of case adjudication, when the legal facts of a current case match with those of a previous one, the court uses the precedent set by the past case to make a decision. Yet, there is room for adaptation as times and circumstances change. The Supreme Court changes over time when new justices join the bench, as illustrated by the notable change in court composition and resultant decision between Plessey v. Ferguson (1896) and Brown v. Board of Education (1954).
Noteworthy is the notion that while upholding of precedents provides logic and consistency to federal courts, there's also flexibility allowing the creation of new precedents and rulings. The Court's decisions impact not just policy and law but also real people and their lives making the Supreme Court a highly influential institution.

The answer would be E. smell.
Answer:
By perseverance and fortitude we have the prospect of a glorious issue; by cowardice and submission, the sad choice of a variety of evils—a ravaged country—a depopulated city—habitations without safety, and slavery without hope—our homes turned into barracks and bawdy-houses for Hessians, and a future race to provide for, whose fathers we shall doubt of. Look on this picture and weep over it! and if there yet remains one thoughtless wretch who believes it not, let him suffer it unlamented.
