Reflect The U.S. Constitution is the cornerstone of our federal g.docxringrid1

The Constitution establishes a basic operational framework that enables the three branches of government—executive, legislative, and judicial—to interact and function as a unit.

· Explain the difference between checks and balances and the separation of powers, and explain why they are important to our democracy.

THE YELLO\N \\TALL-PAPER.
By Cltarlotte Perkins Stetson.
T is very seldom
that mere ordi
nary P""ople like
J ohn and myself
secure ancestral
hall s for the
summer.
A colonial man
sion, a hereditary
estate, I would
say a haunted
house, and reach the height of romantic
felicity- but that would be asking too
much of fate!
Still I will proudly declare that there is
something queer about it.
Else, why shou ld it be let so cheaply?
And why have stood so long untenanted?
John laughs at me, of course, but one
expects that in marriage.
John is practical in the extreme. He
has no patience with faith, an intense
horror of superstition, and he scoffs
openly at any talk of things not to be felt
and seen and put down in figures.
John is a physician, and perltaps - (I
would not say it to a living soul, of
course, but this is dead paper and a
great relief to my mind - ) per/zaps that
is one reason I do not get well faster.
You see he does not believe I am sick! .
And what can one do?
THE YELLOW WALL-PARER.
If a physician of high standing, and
one's own husband, assures friends and
relatives that there is really nothing the
matter with one but temporary nervous
depression - a slight hysterical tendency
- what is one to do?
My brother is also a physician, and
also of high standing, and he says the
same thing. •
So I take phosphates or phosphites
whichever it is, and tonics, and journeys,
and air, and exercise, and am absolutely
forbidden to "work" until I am well again.
Personally, I disagree with their ideas.
Personally, I believe that congenial
work, with excitement and change, would
do me good.
But what is one to do?

It is very seldom that mere ordinary people like John and myself
secure ancestral halls for the summer.
A colonial mansion, a hereditary estate, I would say a haunted house,
and reach the height of romantic felicity--but that would be asking too
much of fate!
Still I will proudly declare that there is something queer about it.
Else, why should it be let so cheaply? And why have stood so long
untenanted?
John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage.
John is practical in the extreme. He has no patience with faith, an
intense horror of superstition, and he scoffs openly at any talk of things
not to be felt and seen and put down in figures.
John is a physician, and PERHAPS--(I would not say it to a living soul,
of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind)--PERHAPS
that is one reason I do not get well faster.
You see he does not believe I am sick!

would do me good.
But what is one to do?
I did write for a while in spite of them; but it DOES exhaust me a good
deal--having to be so sly about it, or else meet with heavy opposition.
I sometimes fancy that my condition if I had less opposition and more
society and stimulus--but John says the very worst thing I can do is to
think about my condition, and I confess it always makes me feel bad.

So I will let it alone and talk about the house.
The most beautiful place! It is quite alone, standing well back from the
road, quite three miles from the village. It makes me think of English
places that you read about, for there are hedges and walls and gates that
lock, and lots of separate little houses for the gardeners and people.
There is a DELICIOUS garden! I never saw such a garden--large and
shady, full of box-bordered paths, and lined with long grape-covered
arbors with seats under them.
There were greenhouses, too, but they are all broken now.
There was some legal trouble, I believe, something about the heirs and
coheirs; anyhow, the place has been empty for years.
That spoils my ghostliness, I am afraid, but I don't care--there is
something strange about the house--I can feel it.
I even said so to John one moonlight evening, but he said what I felt
was a DRAUGHT, and shut the window.
I get unreasonably angry with John sometimes. I'm.

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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. Do you know the children story “Jack and the beanstalk”?
If you don’t, I strongly recommend to read or watch it first, since the main
joke in this episode is connected with it.
You can find it here
http://www.speakaboos.com/story/jack-and-the-beanstalk/
http://fairytales4u.com/story/jackand.htm
2. The first joke of the episode is hilarious.
To understand it, you need to know this word - omnipotent.
Omnipotent means very powerful, you can do everything (ex. omnipotent
God) The thing is the pronunciation of this word is very close to “I’m
impotent”
Impotent – incapable to of sexual intercourse, often because of an inability
to achieve or sustain an erection
In the first joke everyone answers the question
What would you do if you were omnipotent?
Think about it. What would you do?
