Constitutional Convention
The founding fathers solved the problems created by the Articles of Confederation by holding the Constitutional Convention in 1787. They realized the Articles could not be fixed and a new government was needed. There were disagreements over representation in Congress, leading to the Virginia Plan which favored large states and population-based representation, and the New Jersey Plan which favored small states and equal representation. The Great Compromise created a bicameral legislature with the Senate based on equal representation and the House based on population.
The Judicial Branch
The federal court system is established by Article III of the Constitution. The federal courts have jurisdiction over cases involving the Constitution, federal law, disputes between states or citizens of different states, and disputes involving foreign governments. The lower federal courts include district courts and courts of appeals. District courts handle most cases and have original jurisdiction, while courts of appeals only hear appeals from lower courts. The highest court is the Supreme Court, which has the power of judicial review to determine the constitutionality of laws and final authority on interpreting the Constitution.

The document discusses key aspects of US foreign policy including defining foreign policy as a nation's external goals and strategies. It outlines tools of diplomacy, economic aid, and technical assistance. It also discusses national security policy focused on protecting independence and integrity. The Constitution created tension around presidential and congressional influence over foreign policy with powers shared across executive agencies and Congress. Historical contexts are reviewed from isolationism to internationalism through major events like the World Wars and Cold War.
How to Become a United States Citizen
There are two main paths to U.S. citizenship - birthright citizenship and naturalization. The naturalization process involves meeting eligibility criteria like continuous residency for 5 years, good moral character, and passing tests of English and civics knowledge. Exceptions to the testing requirements exist for some elderly or disabled applicants. Filing paperwork, fingerprinting, an interview, and oath ceremony are also part of the administrative naturalization process administered by USCIS.

Organization Of U.S. Court System
The U.S. court system is made up of the Supreme Court and over 100 federal courts that apply the law to actual situations and resolve criminal and civil cases. Criminal cases involve determining guilt and punishment for breaking laws, while civil cases settle large disagreements over issues like contracts and constitutional rights. Judges apply the law impartially while juries decide facts and responsibility in a case. Appeals move cases through higher state and federal courts if the original decision is disputed.
Articles of Confederation
The Articles of Confederation established the first constitution of the United States from 1776-1787. It created a weak central government with a unicameral Congress consisting of one delegate per state and no executive branch. Congress had limited powers and it was difficult to pass laws or amendments. Dissatisfaction grew due to conflicts between states, debt, economic troubles, and uprisings like Shays' Rebellion. This led figures like Hamilton and Madison to call the Philadelphia Convention to draft a new constitution and replace the Articles of Confederation with a stronger central government.
Scott v sandford
Dred Scott sued John Sanford claiming he was a free citizen as he had lived above the 36'30 parallel line in Missouri where the Missouri Compromise declared slaves were free. John Sanford argued that Scott was not a U.S. citizen because he was black and therefore could not sue in federal court. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Sanford, finding that Scott was not a citizen and the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional, upholding slavery and property rights over slaves.

This period also saw the expansion of the cattle industry, growth of the railroad system, and an influx of homesteaders and immigrants seeking land and opportunity.

These terms pertain to several major areas of immigration law, including family visas and marriage-based petitions, permanent resident programs, citizenship and naturalization, deportation and removal defense, immigration appeals, humanitarian programs involving asylum, refugees, TPS, and trafficking victims, as well as immigrant domestic violence protections, such as VAWA and U visas.
Immigration law is one of the toughest areas of law because rules are consistently changing due to the political ramifications of international policy measures.
This A - Z presentation hopes to provide insight on many of the commonly asked questions asked by immigrants and immigration reform advocates.

No, the status of the child born under the 1935 Constitution is not material in determining his citizenship. Under the 1973 Constitution, any person born before January 17, 1973 of a Filipino mother is considered a natural-born Filipino citizen, regardless of whether the parents were married or not. Since Fernando Poe Jr. was born before 1973 to a Filipino father and an American mother, he is considered a natural-born citizen of the Philippines based on the 1973 Constitution. His parents' marital status is not relevant to determining his citizenship status.

Reconstruction and Its End.pptx
Reconstruction aimed to politically and economically rebuild the South after the Civil War. Lincoln's lenient Ten Percent Plan failed due to congressional opposition. Andrew Johnson also pursued a lenient presidential reconstruction, opposing civil rights for freedmen. Johnson vetoed the Freedman's Bureau Bill and Civil Rights Act of 1866. In response, Congress passed the Reconstruction Act of 1867, dividing the South into military districts overseen by the Union and protecting freedmen's civil rights. Southern resistance emerged through black codes, Jim Crow laws, and violent groups like the KKK. Reconstruction declined due to northern corruption, economic troubles, and the Compromise of 1877 which ended federal protection and allowed white "Redemption" in the South.
The Civil War in One Day v2.pptx
A few key events from the US Civil War as per the Florida BEST Standards for High School Social Studies
Causes of the Civil War 23-24
The document outlines several long-term causes that contributed to sectionalism and tensions between the North and South leading up to the Civil War. This included economic differences, with the North being more industrial and urban while the South relied on agriculture and slavery. Attempts at political compromises over the issue of slavery spreading to new territories, such as the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850, failed to resolve the core disagreements and in some cases exacerbated tensions. Key events like the Dred Scott decision and the election of Abraham Lincoln, who opposed the expansion of slavery, increased Southern fears and led several states to secede from the Union after Lincoln's election, marking the start of the Civil War.
The Politics of Reconstruction.pptx
The document discusses the three aspects of Reconstruction - political, economic, and social rebuilding - and how they differed. It then examines Abraham Lincoln's lenient reconstruction plan, Andrew Johnson's more lenient presidential reconstruction plan, and the Radical Republican's harsher Reconstruction Act of 1867. The act divided the South into military districts and imposed requirements to rejoin the Union. However, southern resistance through black codes, Jim Crow laws, and violence like the Ku Klux Klan undermined Reconstruction. Northerners eventually lost interest due to corruption scandals and economic troubles. The disputed 1876 election was resolved by the Compromise of 1877 which ended Reconstruction by withdrawing federal troops from the South.

Strange Fruit
This document discusses the song "Strange Fruit" and its history and impact. It describes how teacher Abel Meeropol wrote the poem after seeing a photograph of a lynching, publishing it under a pseudonym. Jazz singer Billie Holiday later set it to music, performing it and bringing attention to its graphic imagery depicting lynchings in the South and condemnation of Jim Crow laws. Though initially a protest song, over time it has come to memorialize a tragic period in history, while still felt as emotionally powerful by listeners today across different genres of music that have covered the song.
Ten Principles of Economics
The document outlines 10 principles of economics according to a chapter on the main ideas of economics. It discusses that economics studies human behavior in relation to scarcity and trade-offs between unlimited wants and limited resources. It also explains that people respond rationally by acting in their perceived best interest and considering opportunity costs when making decisions. Finally, it discusses how people interact through markets and trade, and how governments and monetary policy can impact an overall economy's production and standard of living.
Farmers and Homesteading
The Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890 provided land grants to states to establish colleges of agriculture and mechanical arts. The Pacific Railway Act of 1862 encouraged the building of the transcontinental railroad, which was completed in 1869 at Promontory Point, Utah. The Homestead Act and new technologies like the windmill, seed drill, and barbed wire encouraged western expansion by making farming on the Great Plains possible. The Morrill Acts established land grant colleges that still educate farmers today.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
