The document discusses the democratic constitution in South Africa and the struggle against apartheid. It describes how Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 28 years for opposing apartheid. Apartheid divided people based on skin color, oppressing blacks. The African National Congress led struggles against segregation policies from 1950 onward. As protests increased, discriminatory laws were repealed and Mandela was freed. Finally, in 1994, South Africa's new democratic constitution was adopted, protecting extensive citizen rights.

The making of the national movement: 1870s - 1947 | Ls-11 | History | Class - 8 SugeethJayarajSA
Well, let's take a look at the past of India. India is a land filled with great wonders. Let's look at a class 8 History ppt filled with lots of info put in a very attractive manner about the making of the national movement.
Elections and institutions need to be combined with a third element – enjoyment of rights – to make a government democratic. Even the most properly elected rulers working through the established institutional process must learn not to cross some limits. Citizens’ democratic rights set those limits in a democracy.
This is what we take up in this chapter. We begin by discussing some real life cases to imagine what it means to live without rights. This leads to a discussion on what we mean by rights and why do we need them. As in the previous chapters, the general discussion is followed by a focus on India. We discuss one by one the Fundamental Rights in the Indian Constitution. Then we turn to how these rights can be used by ordinary citizens. Who will protect and enforce them? Finally we take a look at how the scope of rights has been expanding.
What does democracy do?
What outcomes can we reasonably expect of democracy?
Does democracy fulfil these expectations in real life?
How to assess the outcomes of democracy?
Democracy is better because
Accountable, responsive and legitimate government
ELECTION,DEBATE AND INFORMATION
PEOPLE’S NEED AND CORRUPTION
Economic growth and development
Reduction of inequality and poverty
Accommodation of social diversity
Dignity and freedom of the citizens

8th std Social Science- Ch. 3 Why Do We Need A Parliament?
People would elect their representatives to the Parliament
One group from among these elected representatives forms the Government
The Parliament, which is made up of all representatives together, controls and guides the government.
In this chapter we ask some basic questions about the constitutional design of a democracy. Why do we need a constitution? How are the constitutions drawn up? Who designs them and in what way? What are the values that shape the constitutions in democratic states? Once a constitution is accepted, can we make changes later as required by the changing conditions?
One recent instance of designing constitution for a democratic state is that of the South Africa. We begin this chapter by looking at what happened there and how the South Africans went about this task of designing their constitution. Then we turn to how the Indian Constitution was made, what its foundational values are, and how it provides a good framework for the conduct of citizens’ life and that of the government.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

3. DEMOCRATIC CONSTITUTION
IN
SOUTH AFRICA
Nelson Mandela, being tried for treason by the
white South African government.
He and seven other leaders were sentenced to
life imprisonment in 1964 for daring to oppose
the apartheid regime in his country.
He spent the next 28 years in South Africa’s
most dreaded prison, Robben Island.
4. STRUGGLE AGAINST
APARTHEID
•Apartheid was the name of a system of racial
discrimination unique to South Africa.
•A large number of ‘whites’ had settled in South Africa
and became the local rulers.
•The system of apartheid divided the people and labelled
them on the basis of their skin colour.
•The native people of South Africa are black in colour and
made up about three-fourth of the population and were
called ‘blacks’.
•Besides these two groups, there were people of mixed
races who were called ‘coloured’ and people who
migrated from India.
5.
6. STRUGGLE AGAINST
APARTHEID
•The apartheid system was particularly oppressive for the
blacks.
•They were forbidden from living in white areas.
•Trains, buses, taxis, hotels, hospitals, schools and colleges,
libraries, cinema halls, theatres, beaches, swimming pools
were all separate for the whites and blacks. This was called
segregation.
•Since 1950, the blacks, coloured and Indians fought against
the apartheid system.
•The African National Congress (ANC) was the umbrella
organisation that led the struggle against the policies of
segregation.
7.
8.
9. TOWARDS A NEW
CONSTIIITUTIIION
•As protests and struggles against apartheid had
increased the white regime changed its policies.
•Discriminatory laws were repealed.
•Ban on political parties and restrictions on the
media were lifted.
•After 28 years of imprisonment, Nelson Mandela
walked out of the jail as a free man.
•Finally, at the midnight of 26 April 1994, the new
national flag of the Republic of South Africa was
unfurled marking the newly born democracy in
the world.
10. DEMOCRATIC RULE IN SOUTH
AFRICA
•Black leaders appealed to fellow blacks to
forgive the whites for the atrocities they had
committed while in power.
•They said let us build a new South Africa based
on equality of all races and men and women,
on democratic values, social justice and human
rights.
•After two years they came out with one of the
finest constitutions the world has ever had.
•This constitution gave to its citizens the most
extensive rights available in any country.
11.
12. Constitution
A set of written rules
that are accepted by all
people living together in a
country
Supreme law that
determines the
relationship among people
living in a territory and
also the relationship
between the people and
the government
13. WHY DO WE NEED A
CONSTITUTION?
1. It generates a degree of trust and
coordination that is necessary for different
kind of people to live together.
2. It specifies how the government will be
constituted, who will have power to take
which decisions.
3. It lays down limits on the powers of the
government and tells us what the rights of
the citizens are.
4. It expresses the aspirations of the people
about creating a good society.
14. All countries that have
constitution are not
necessarily democratic.
But all countries that are
democratic will have
constitutions.
15. MAKING OF THE INDIAN
CONSTITUTION
The making of the constitution for a huge and diverse
country like India was not an easy affair.
At that time the people of India were emerging from
the status of subjects to that of citizens.
The country was born through a partition on the basis
of religious differences.
At least ten lakh people were killed on both sides of
the border in partition related violence.
The British had left it to the rulers of the princely
states to decide whether they wanted to merge with
India or with Pakistan or remain independent.
17. THE PATH TO CONSTITUTION
•Our national movement was not merely a
struggle against a foreign rule. It was also a
struggle to rejuvenate our country and to
transform our society and politics.
•There were sharp differences of opinion within
the freedom struggle about the path India
should take after Independence.
•Such differences exist even today.
•Yet some basic ideas had come to be accepted
by almost everyone.
18. THE PATH TO CONSTITUTION
oIn 1928, Motilal Nehru and eight other Congress leaders
drafted a constitution for India.
oIn 1931, the resolution at the Karachi session of the
Indian National Congress dwelt on how independent
India’s constitution should look like.
oBoth these documents were committed to the inclusion
of universal adult franchise right to freedom and equality
and to protecting the rights of minorities in the
constitution of independent India.
oThus some basic values were accepted by all leaders
much before the Constituent Assembly met to deliberate
on the Constitution.
19. THE PATH TO CONSTITUTION
•The British rule had given voting rights only to a
few.
•Elections were held in 1937 to Provincial
Legislatures and Ministries all over British India.
•These were not fully democratic governments.
•But the experience gained by Indians in the working
of the legislative institutions proved to be very
useful for the country in setting up its own
institutions an working in them.
•That is why the Indian constitution adopted many
institutional details like the Government of India
Act, 1935.
20. THE PATH TO CONSTITUTION
•Many of our leaders were inspired by the ideals
of French Revolution, the practice of
parliamentary democracy in Britain and the Bill
of Rights in the US.
•The socialist revolution in Russia had inspired
many Indians to think of shaping a system
based on social and economic equality.
•Yet they were not simply imitating what others
had done.
•At each step they were questioning whether
these things suited our country
21. THE CONSTITUENT
ASSEMBLY
The drafting of the document called the
constitution was done by an assembly of elected
representatives called the Constituent Assembly.
Elections to the Constituent Assembly were held
in July 1946.
Its first meeting was held in December 1946.
Soon after, the country was divided into India and
Pakistan.
The Constituent Assembly was also divided into
the Constituent Assembly of India and that of
Pakistan.
22. THE CONSTITUENT
ASSEMBLY
Constituent Assembly that wrote the Indian
constitution had 299 members.
The Assembly adopted the Constitution on 26
November 1949 but it came into effect on 26
January 1950.
To mark this day we celebrate January 26 as
Republic Day every year.
23.
24. WHY SHOULD WE ACCEPT
THE
CONSTITUTION?
The Constitution does not reflect the views of its
members alone. It expresses a broad consensus of
its time.
Many countries of the world have had to rewrite
their Constitution afresh because the basic rules
were not acceptable to all.
In some other countries, the Constitution exists as
a mere piece of paper. No one actually follows it.
Over the last half a century, several groups have
questioned some provisions of the Constitution.
But no large social group or political party has ever
questioned the legitimacy of the Constitution itself.
25. WHY SHOULD WE ACCEPT
THE
CONSTITUTION?
The Constituent Assembly represented the people
of India. There was no universal adult franchise at
that time.
A fair geographical share of members from all the
regions of the country were there and the
Assembly was dominated by the Indian National
Congress.
The Assembly had many members who did not
agree with the Congress.
the Assembly represented members from
different language groups, castes, classes,
religions and occupations.
26. WHY SHOULD WE ACCEPT
THE
CONSTITUTION?
The Constituent Assembly worked in a
systematic, open and consensual manner.
First some basic principles were decided and
agreed upon. Then a Drafting Committee
chaired by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar prepared a draft
constitution for discussion.
Several rounds of thorough discussion took
place on the Draft Constitution, clause by
clause.
More than two thousand amendments were
considered. The members deliberated for 114
days spread over three years.
27. WHY SHOULD WE ACCEPT
THE
CONSTITUTION?
Every document presented and every word
spoken in the Constituent Assembly has been
recorded and preserved.
These are called ‘Constituent Assembly
Debates’.
When printed, these debates are 12 bulky
volumes!
28.
29. GUIDING VALUES OF THE
INDIAN CONSTITUTION
The Dream and the Promise
Mahatma Gandhi was not a member of the
Constituent Assembly.
Yet there were many members who followed
his vision.
In 1931, he wrote in his magazine Young India
about what he wanted the Constitution to do:
This dream of an India that has eliminated
inequality was shared by Dr. Ambedkar.
30. PHILOSOPHY OF THE
CONSTITUTION
Values that inspired and guided the freedom
struggle and were embedded in the Preamble
of the Indian Constitution.
They guide all the articles of the Indian
Constitution. This is called the Preamble to the
constitution.
Taking inspiration from American model,
most countries have chosen to begin their
constitutions with a preamble.
32. PREAMBLE OF INDIAN
CONSTITUTION
1. WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA: The constitution
has been drawn up and enacted by the
people through their representatives, and
not handed down to them by a king or any
outside powers.
2. SOVEREIGN: People have supreme right to
make decisions on internal as well as
external matters. No external power can
dictate the government of India.
3. SOCIALIST: Wealth is generated socially and
should be shared equally by society.
Government should regulate the ownership
33. PREAMBLE OF INDIAN
CONSTITUTION
4. SECULAR: Citizens have complete freedom to
follow any religion. But there is no official
religion. Government treats all religious beliefs
and practices with equal respect.
5. DEMOCRATIC: A form of government where
people enjo equal political rights elect their
rulers an hold them accountable. The
government is run according to some basic
rules.
6. REPUBLIC: The head of the state is an elected
person and not a hereditary position.
34. PREAMBLE OF INDIAN
CONSTITUTION
7. JUSTICE: Citizens cannot be discriminated on
the grounds of caste, religion and gender.
Social inequalities have to be reduced.
Government should work for the welfare of all,
especially of the disadvantaged groups.
8. LIBERTY: There are no unreasonable
restrictions on the citizens in what they think,
how they wish to express their thoughts and
the way they wish to follow up their thoughts in
action.
35. PREAMBLE OF INDIAN
CONSTITUTION
9. EQUALITY: All are equal before the law. The
traditional social inequalities have to be ended.
The government should ensure equal
opportunity for all.
10. FRATERNITY: All of us should behave as if
we are members of the same family. No one
should treat a fellow citizen as inferior.
36. INSTITUTIONAL DESIGN
•Constitution is a very long and detailed
document. Therefore it needs to be amended
quite regularly to keep it updated.
•Those who crafted the Indian Constitution felt
that it has to be in accordance with people’s
aspirations and changes in society.
•They did not see it as a sacred, static and
unalterable law.
•So, they made provisions to incorporate
changes from time to time. These changes are
called constitutional amendments.
37. INSTITUTIONAL DESIGN
•Like any Constitution, the Indian Constitution
lays down a procedure for choosing persons to
govern the country.
•It defines who will have how much power to take
which decisions.
•It puts limits to what the government can do by
providing some rights to the citizen that cannot
be violated.
