The 27th Amendment regulates congressional pay increases by preventing any increase in pay from taking effect until after the next set of elections, allowing voters to retaliate against increases they view as unjust. It was originally proposed in 1789 as part of the Bill of Rights but was not ratified for over 200 years until 1992. Gregory Watson, a university student, researched the amendment and began a campaign that led to its ratification by 38 states, the final being Michigan.

Congress Part 2
The document discusses several key aspects of Congress, including its bicameral structure, the terms and qualifications of members, how bills become laws, and Congressional powers. It also examines the process of getting elected to Congress and staying in office, the reapportionment and redistricting that follows the census, the role of political parties, and relations between Congress and other branches of government.
History Of The Equal Rights Amendment
The document discusses the history of the Equal Rights Amendment in the United States. It describes how women gained the right to vote in 1920 but still faced discrimination. In the 1920s, suffragists proposed the Equal Rights Amendment to guarantee equal rights regardless of sex. The ERA passed Congress in 1972 but failed to gain enough state ratifications before the deadline. Advocacy groups like NOW continue working to get the ERA adopted into the Constitution.
Equal rights amendment
The document summarizes the history and goals of the Equal Rights Amendment proposed in the United States. The Equal Rights Amendment aimed to guarantee equal rights under law regardless of sex. It was first proposed in 1923 but gained momentum in the 1960s-1970s led by the National Organization for Women. It passed Congress in 1972 but failed to gain ratification by 38 states by the 1982 deadline due to opposition groups claiming it would eliminate traditional gender roles and legalize gay marriage. While not ratified, numerous court cases have since helped promote greater gender equality.
ERA History Artcle
The Equal Rights Amendment was first introduced in 1923 and sought to guarantee equal rights for both men and women. It faced opposition from those who supported protective labor laws for women. The ERA was reintroduced in 1943 with revised language and gained support from both major political parties. In the 1960s, during second-wave feminism, the ERA became a central symbol for the women's movement. It passed Congress in 1972 but failed to gain ratification by the required 38 states before the 1982 deadline. Recent ratifications by the final three states could count if Congress removes the expired deadline. Current bills in Minnesota seek removal of the federal deadline and addition of equal rights amendments to the state constitution.
The Formation Of The Bill Of Rights
The document discusses the formation of the Bill of Rights in the United States Constitution. The Anti-Federalists opposed the original Constitution because it did not adequately protect individual rights and gave too much power to the national government. They agreed to support the Constitution on the condition that a list of fundamental rights, known as the Bill of Rights, was added. Congress debated the issue but ultimately approved a list of 10 amendments drafted by a committee. By December 1791, the first 10 amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights, were successfully ratified.

Class 5 how government works
This document provides an agenda for a class on how government works. It includes topics like what citizens need to know about government, a discussion of amendments to the US Constitution, and an analysis of the Fourth Amendment right to privacy. It notes that most Americans cannot name the three branches of government or how many Senators each state has. It also discusses whether there should be a federal law requiring motorcycle helmets and which level of government should decide.
The right to vote chapter 6
The document outlines the history and expansion of voting rights in the United States. It discusses how originally only white male property owners could vote, but over time restrictions were lifted based on race, gender, religion, and age. The right to vote has gradually shifted from being determined by individual states to being regulated at the federal level through amendments and acts that prohibit restrictions on suffrage based on factors such as race, payment of taxes, or age over 18. The document also lists current restrictions that states must follow regarding qualifications for voting.

Chapter 10 government notes
The Legislative Branch creates laws through Congress, which consists of the Senate and House of Representatives. The Senate has two senators per state who serve six-year terms, while the House has 435 members based on population who serve two-year terms. Members of Congress must be at least 25 years old for the House or 30 for the Senate, citizens for at least seven or nine years respectively, and inhabitants of their states. Their roles include legislating, representing constituents, and overseeing the executive branch through committees. They receive salaries around $174,000 along with various benefits and perks.
3 Compromises at the Constitutional Convention
The document summarizes three major compromises that were made during the creation of the US Constitution: 1) The Great Compromise/Connecticut Compromise established a bicameral Congress with equal representation of states in the Senate and population-based representation in the House. 2) The Three-Fifths Compromise counted slaves as three-fifths of a person for population counts. 3) The Commerce Compromise gave Congress power to regulate trade but not tax exports and allowed the President to make treaties with Senate approval.
NFDW 2022 position paper on era (1)
The National Federation of Democratic Women supports ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to guarantee equal rights regardless of sex. While some laws aim to prevent discrimination, they are inconsistent and can be repealed. The last three states ratified the ERA in 2017-2020, but the Archivist has not certified it due to a Trump administration opinion claiming issues with the ratification timeline. Supporters argue the 38 state threshold has been met and are appealing the lower court's dismissal. The NFDW calls on Congress and the Archivist to recognize the ERA as the 28th Amendment to solidify equal rights protections for all.
Constitution
The Great Compromise resolved disagreements between large and small states over representation in Congress. It created a bicameral legislature with two chambers - the Senate where every state gets two seats, and the House of Representatives where seats are allocated based on state population. This balanced the interests of both large and small states. The compromise also included the Three-Fifths Compromise, which counted slaves as three-fifths of a person for representation. These compromises helped ensure ratification of the new U.S. Constitution.
Federalists / Anti-Federalists
After the US Constitution was created, it needed to be ratified by the states. Two groups emerged with differing views: Federalists supported a stronger federal government and ratifying the Constitution as written, while Anti-Federalists wanted to keep more power with the states and were wary of a powerful central government or executive. The groups disagreed on views of the federal government, separation of powers between branches, leadership of the government, revisions to the Articles of Confederation, and whether to include a Bill of Rights.
WHY TEXANS NEED INITIATIVE & REFERENDUM
The document discusses the initiative and referendum process (I&R), which allows citizens in some states to directly propose legislation or constitutional amendments via petition, and vote to repeal existing laws. It argues that I&R is needed in Texas to give citizens more voice and limit the influence of special interests, citing polls showing most Texans support I&R. It outlines the process required to amend the Texas constitution to establish I&R rights for citizens.

1.2 day 1 freedom vs. security
The document summarizes key information about the Articles of Confederation and its weaknesses:
1) The Articles of Confederation created a very weak central government that gave most power to the individual states. This was done intentionally by the newly independent American states who wanted to avoid another strong central authority like the British monarchy.
2) However, the weak central government created under the Articles had several detrimental effects. Congress lacked power to tax, regulate trade between states, or enforce laws. Amendments required unanimous approval which was nearly impossible.
3) Debate between large and small states over representation in Congress also highlighted weaknesses. The Constitution was drafted as an improvement, creating a stronger central government with three branches but also a
Great compromise
The document discusses several compromises that were made during the creation of the US Constitution. It describes the Virginia Plan which proposed a strong national government with representation based on population, and the New Jersey Plan which proposed equal representation for each state. It then discusses the Great Compromise, which proposed having two houses of Congress - a Senate with two representatives per state and a House based on population. It also discusses the Three-Fifths Compromise for counting slaves, compromises around trade and slavery, and the creation of the Electoral College to elect the President.
Constitutional compromises and plans new
The Articles of Confederation established the first constitution of the United States and a system of cooperation among the 13 independent states, but it had several weaknesses including that Congress had limited powers and required unanimous state approval for any changes. At the Constitutional Convention, the Virginia Plan proposed a stronger federal government with three branches but larger states having more power, while the New Jersey Plan favored equal state representation. The Great Compromise blended the two plans by creating a bicameral Congress with equal state representation in the Senate and population-based representation in the House. Further compromises included counting three-fifths of slaves for representation and giving Congress power over trade.
Amendments
The document discusses amendments to the US Constitution that extended voting rights and civil rights protections. It summarizes that the original Bill of Rights only protected white males, and African Americans and women had few rights. Key amendments included the 13th banning slavery, 14th granting citizenship and equal protection under the law, and 15th banning restrictions on voting based on race. Later amendments granted women's suffrage, ended poll taxes, allowed voting in DC, and lowered the voting age.
Executive Powers Ch 14 Part 2
The document outlines the executive powers of the President related to foreign affairs, the military, legislation, and the courts. It discusses the President's powers to make treaties and executive agreements, recognize foreign governments, serve as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, and issue reports and directives related to military actions according to the War Powers Resolution. The President can also influence legislation through the State of the Union address and veto power, and influence the courts through judicial appointments and the power to pardon or grant amnesty. There is sometimes conflict between the executive and legislative branches over the scope of the President's war powers.
A more perfect union
Delegates met in Philadelphia to revise the Articles of Confederation but instead created the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution established a new national government with three branches of power and a system of checks and balances. It was a compromise between large and small states on issues like representation and slavery. The Constitution was ratified after debate between Federalists, who supported it, and Anti-Federalists, who initially opposed it without a bill of rights.
Federalist Vs
The document discusses the debate between Federalists and Anti-Federalists over the interpretation of the Elastic Clause, or Necessary and Proper Clause, of the US Constitution. Federalists supported a broad interpretation that allowed implied powers, wanting a strong federal government, while Anti-Federalists advocated for a limited federal government with only enumerated powers. The document also notes that the Federalist Papers aimed to influence ratification debates and future constitutional interpretation in favor of the Federalist perspective.
1.2 day 2 freedom vs. security
The document summarizes the debate between Federalists and Anti-Federalists over ratifying the US Constitution. It describes key points:
1) Federalists supported a strong central government and argued it was needed to prevent political disorder, protect from enemies, and solve domestic problems. Anti-Federalists wanted more state power and inclusion of a Bill of Rights.
2) The Constitutional Convention drafted a new Constitution in 1787 to replace the failing Articles of Confederation. Ratification was disputed with Federalists and Anti-Federalists advocating different viewpoints.
3) Federalists eventually agreed to add a Bill of Rights to gain support, and the states all ratified the new Constitution by 1789. The debate
Confederation and the Constitution
The Articles of Confederation had several weaknesses including that Congress could not tax or enforce laws, each state had equal representation regardless of population, and amendments required unanimous approval. This led to issues like Shays' Rebellion and showed the need for a stronger national government. At the Constitutional Convention, delegates debated plans and reached compromises to form a new government with a bicameral legislature and a system of federalism and checks and balances between the branches. The Constitution was ratified in 1788.
Experiencing the Weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation
The document describes a classroom activity where students simulate the Constitutional Convention. The class is divided into 13 groups representing the original 13 states. The groups debate proposals for how states will be represented in Congress, but fail to reach an agreement, just as the actual Congress failed under the Articles of Confederation. After taking a break to discuss compromises, the groups are able to reach agreements, just as the real delegates did at the Constitutional Convention.
Legislative Power, Part I
The document provides an overview of legislative powers under the U.S. Constitution. It discusses how Congress is organized into two chambers, the House of Representatives and Senate. It outlines the express powers granted to Congress in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, including the power to tax, spend, regulate interstate commerce, and provide for the national defense. It also discusses the lawmaking process and how Congress uses its taxing and spending powers to influence policy.
The Constitution Goes to the States
Federalists supported ratifying the new Constitution as they felt the Articles of Confederation gave too much power to states and too little to the national government. Antifederalists opposed ratification as they felt it made the national government too strong and states too weak. A key issue in the debate was that the Constitution lacked a Bill of Rights. States began ratifying the Constitution in 1787, with Delaware first and Rhode Island last in 1790. Many states agreed to ratify only if a Bill of Rights was added. James Madison wrote 12 proposed amendments in 1789, with 10 being ratified as the Bill of Rights.
Constitutional convention and compromise1

It also discusses the process of formal amendment, noting that the Constitution has been amended 27 times to address needed changes over time. Additionally, it analyzes how the Constitution has evolved through means other than formal amendment, such as legislation, executive actions, judicial decisions, and political customs and norms.
Constitution
The document provides an overview of the US Constitution, including that it is the fundamental law of the land, sets out the principles of US government, and consists of 7 articles and 27 amendments. It divides power among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches and establishes a system of checks and balances between them. The Constitution can be amended through proposals by Congress or conventions ratified by state legislatures or conventions. It has been changed in other ways through laws, judicial interpretations, political party practices, and customs.
WS - Article 5 Memo
This document provides an overview of Article V conventions for proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution. It explains that two-thirds of state legislatures can call for a convention, at which point Congress is required to hold one. It outlines the process by which states apply for a convention, and notes ongoing issues around whether states can rescind applications and how long applications remain valid. It also lists topics that states have submitted applications for since 1970 and resources on constitutional conventions.
Civics 10th amendment project
The document discusses the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution. It provides that powers not delegated to the federal government nor prohibited to the states are reserved for the states or people. When introducing the amendment, James Madison believed it was necessary to reassure states that ratified the Constitution. The amendment is similar to language in the Articles of Confederation reserving non-delegated powers to the states. It also discusses a Supreme Court case related to the amendment and how it continues to be a topic in debates over states' rights and federalism.
Civics201
The document provides an overview of government in the United States from the local to federal level. It discusses the separation of powers between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches at the federal level as outlined in the Constitution. It also summarizes state and local governments, noting that counties and cities are granted authority by state governments. Homeowners associations are established through covenants and have limited authority over private property use. The layers of government work together with higher levels granting authority to lower ones.
Term Limits Essay
This document discusses term limits for members of Congress. It argues that term limits should be implemented to prevent corruption and provide turnover in Congress, as long-term politicians become detached from their constituents over time. However, others believe term limits are unconstitutional and limit voter choice. The Supreme Court ruled in 1995 that states cannot impose term limits on their federal representatives, as this right belongs to voters, not states. The document explores both sides of the debate over congressional term limits.
Chapter2
The document summarizes key events in the drafting and ratification of the US Constitution. It describes the lessons learned from the Articles of Confederation and state constitutions that influenced the drafting of the Constitution. There were major debates at the Constitutional Convention over issues like representation and the powers of the presidency, which were ultimately resolved through compromises. Ratification required approval from nine state conventions and involved a debate between Federalists in support and Anti-Federalists opposed unless a bill of rights was added, which was accomplished through the first ten amendments.
Civics201
This document provides an overview of government in the United States from the federal level down to local levels. It outlines the branches and responsibilities of the federal government as established in the Constitution. It also summarizes the Bill of Rights and process for amending the Constitution. Additionally, it discusses state and local governments and how citizens can get involved in the political process through activities like voting, learning about elected officials, and civic participation.

The document provides an overview of the origins and constitutional underpinnings of the United States government. It discusses key influences like the Magna Carta, English Bill of Rights, and Enlightenment thinkers including Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau. The document also summarizes the development of the US system of government from the colonial period, Articles of Confederation, Constitutional Convention, ratification debates, and key compromises and principles embedded in the Constitution like separation of powers and federalism. It also reviews the Bill of Rights and amendment process.
IT'S TIME!
The document discusses the dominance of wealthy interests in politics undermining middle-class views. It proposes a constitutional amendment for public funding of elections to address this issue. It would prohibit private contributions and expenditures to political campaigns, with campaigns receiving only public funds. The amendment could be proposed through a joint congressional resolution or citizen ballot initiatives in states allowing them. If approved by Congress and ratified by 38 states, it would become a constitutional amendment.

Chapter 3 the constitution
The document summarizes key aspects of the creation and structure of the US Constitution. It describes how delegates met in Philadelphia in 1787 to address problems with the Articles of Confederation and write a new constitution. They debated issues around representation and the powers of Congress, and reached compromises including the Connecticut Compromise and Three-Fifths Compromise. The new Constitution was then ratified and outlines a federal government with separation of powers and checks and balances between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.
Constitution
The United States Constitution was written in 1787 in Philadelphia in response to weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation. It was drafted primarily by James Madison and established a stronger federal government with three branches and a system of checks and balances. While an improvement, some argue it is outdated and in need of revisions to better protect citizens' rights and clarify procedures.
The Constitutional Amendment Process
There are four methods for formally amending the Constitution outlined in the document. The first method involves a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures. Twenty-six of the twenty-seven amendments have been proposed and ratified through this process. In addition to formal amendments, the Constitution can be informally amended through executive action, legislation, court decisions, and political party practices, which have added new meanings and interpretations over time without actual changes to the text.

4.7 notes
Functions can be written in function notation such as f(x)=mx+b, where f(x) represents the linear equation mx+b with x as the variable. The parentheses indicate that the variable x in the equation will be replaced by the number written inside the parentheses. For example, if evaluating f(2), x would be replaced with 2. Other letters besides f can also be used to represent functions. The domain of a function is the x-values, while the range is the y-values or f(x)-values produced by inputting x-values into the function.
4.6 notes
Two variables show direct variation if their relationship can be written in the form y=ax, where a is the constant of variation. Direct variation equations represent relationships where one variable varies directly as the other changes. To determine if an equation represents direct variation, substitute coordinates to solve for the constant a and rewrite the equation in the form y=ax. The constant of variation and the graphs of direct variation equations can then be used to find output values for given input values.

The document discusses slope and how it represents the rate of change of a line. It defines slope as the rise over the run between two points on a line. Positive slope lines rise from left to right, negative slope lines rise from right to left, horizontal lines have zero slope, and vertical lines have undefined slope. The slope formula is defined as the change in y over the change in x between two points.
4.5 notes
This document discusses how to graph linear equations using slope-intercept form. It identifies the slope and y-intercept of several equations in slope-intercept form, such as y=3x+4 and 3x-3y=12. It then shows how to graph these equations by plotting the y-intercept and running the line with the given slope. As an example, it graphs the equation y=5x-3 on an xy-plane. It also demonstrates graphing parallel lines, such as y=3x+4 and y=3x+6, which have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
4.4 notes
Slope represents the rate of change of a line and is calculated by rise over run. A positive slope indicates the line rises from left to right, while a negative slope rises from right to left. Horizontal lines have a slope of zero as there is no rise, and vertical lines have an undefined slope as the run is zero.
4.3 notes
This document discusses how to graph linear equations by finding the x-intercept and y-intercept. It explains that the x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis and the y-intercept is where it crosses the y-axis. It provides an example of an equation with an x-intercept of -3 and a y-intercept of 5. It then explains how to find the intercepts by setting either x or y to 0 and solving for the other variable.

Graph linear equations in a coordinate plane by following these steps:
1) Choose a domain of at least three convenient values for the variable.
2) Solve the linear equation for those values to obtain ordered pairs.
3) Plot the ordered pairs on a coordinate plane to graph the line represented by the linear equation. Vertical lines must pass through only one point for the graph to represent a function.
4.2 notes
This document discusses how to graph linear equations in a coordinate plane. It defines a linear equation as one whose graph is a line and provides the standard form of a linear equation as ax+by=c. It explains that solutions to linear equations are ordered pairs that make statements true when substituted into the equation. To graph a linear equation, you create a domain of at least three convenient values, solve the equation for those values, and plot the points. Examples are given of graphing the equations y=b, x=a, y=3x-2, y=2.5, and x=-4. The vertical line test is introduced to determine if an equation represents a function.
4.1 notes
The document describes plotting points and graphs on a coordinate plane. It defines an x-axis, y-axis, and four quadrants. Examples of ordered pairs are given with points labeled on the plane. Two linear equations, y=2x-1 and y=-1/3x+2, are shown graphed on the plane with their domains.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
