The document outlines the process for amending the US Constitution through formal amendments. It describes how amendments can be proposed by a two-thirds vote in Congress or national convention, and then ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures or conventions. This process reflects the principles of federalism by involving both federal and state actors, and popular sovereignty by basing it on votes of elected representatives. In total, 27 amendments have been successfully added to the Constitution through this formal process.

United States Federal Government Structure for International StudentsMolly Nichelson
I'm currently a graduate student in USC's Price School of Public Affairs, International Public Policy and Management program (IPPAM). The majority of my classmates are foreign nationals and they asked me to give a presentation on the US Federal Government structure. It's a basic overview but they were keenly interested in lobbying and PACs.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

NOTE TO TEACHERS: In above image, voters express their will to the government. This concept is called popular sovereignty.
Checkpoint Answer: By dividing power among three branches, it makes it very difficult for any one branch to assume too much authority. The only way the government could abuse its powers is if every branch agreed to work together, which is unlikely given all the different individuals and goals involved.
Diagram question answer: Under the Articles of Confederation, states regulated trade among themselves with disastrous results for the national economy. Having interstate trade disputes settled by the central government is an efficient and fair way of ensuring that such disputes do not cause national problems.
Checkpoint Answer: The clause can be “stretched” to provide a wide range of implied powers, as long as those powers can be seen as necessary to carry out the expressed powers granted by the Constitution.
NOTE TO TEACHERS: In this image, President George W. Bush meets with Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany at the 2007 G8 Summit.
Answer: As there are separate federal and state laws, each level of government needs separate law enforcement agencies to ensure that its laws are obeyed.
Answer: The cartoon figure of Andrew Johnson is attempting to do something that would violate the Constitution, but because it is the Supreme law of the land, he is smashed under the weight of its ultimate authority. This signifies that even the President is not above the Constitution.
NOTE FOR TEACHERS: Today, 2/3 of the states means that 34 must propose an amendment and ¾ of the states means that 38 states must ratify an amendment. In the past 40 years, Congress has come close to calling a national convention twice at the request of the states; once to change a Supreme Court decision about voting rights, and the other time to require a balanced federal budget except in times of war or national emergency.
Checkpoint Answer: Amendments are proposed at the federal level and ratified at the state level, thus dividing the power to change the Constitution between the central government and the states.
Checkpoint Answer: The Constitution might never have been ratified without the promise that a bill of rights would be added to the document. Students should also note that the Bill of Rights spells out many of the fundamental liberties that Americans take for granted each day. If it were left solely to the state constitutions to protect these rights, they might not be shared by all American citizens.
NOTE TO TEACHERS: The above image depicts Inez Milholland, who fought to amend the Constitution to allow women’s suffrage.
NOTE TO TEACHERS: Above image shows a coin that was a symbol of the anti-slavery movement.
NOTE TO TEACHERS: Above image shows the first women to vote in Brooklyn, New York.
NOTE TO TEACHERS: In the image above, Harry Truman delivers the first televised State of the Union.
NOTE TO TEACHERS: Image above shows a delegate. Delegates play an important role in shaping the U.S. Government.
Checkpoint Answer: Political parties have shaped the nomination and election of the President in ways never mentioned by the Constitution. They have also influenced the process of appointing public officials, as the President must consider party affiliation when nominating appointees as well as the custom of senatorial courtesy, which is based partly on party affiliations.
Checkpoint Answer: The two-term limit on Presidents and the official succession of the Vice President to the office of President when the President dies or is otherwise forced to step down.
