How has technology transformed access and dissemination (horstmann)BDLSS
The document discusses how technology has transformed access and dissemination of cultural heritage resources. It outlines the progression from pre-Gutenberg writing tools and manuscripts, to Gutenberg's printing press, 20th century technologies like word processors and search engines, and 21st century digital access. While libraries' core function of providing cultural memory and extending access has remained the same, the resources they provide have changed from analog to digital formats, allowing ubiquitous access. Libraries must now focus on digital preservation and understanding users to remain relevant memory institutions in the digital age.
The document outlines several key events and issues that contributed to rising sectional tensions between the North and South leading up to the Civil War, including the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the Wilmot Proviso of 1846, the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, the Dred Scott decision of 1857, and Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860, which prompted several Southern states to secede from the Union and form the Confederate States of America.

3) The 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act and 1857 Dred Scott decision inflamed tensions by allowing slavery in new territories, angering abolitionists in the North.
4) John Brown's 1859 raid and the 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln, seen as an abolition
Guy Fawkes was involved in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, an attempt by Catholic conspirators led by Robert Catesby to assassinate King James I of England by blowing up the House of Lords.

- Thinkers like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton contributed greatly to developments in astronomy, physics, and the understanding that the universe follows definite natural laws.
- The Scientific Revolution influenced the Enlightenment period in the 1700s, where it was believed that applying reason could solve social and political problems and free people from ignorance.
- Political philosophers

Chapters 3 & 4 Constitution and Federalismgrieffel
The document discusses the key principles of the US Constitution including popular sovereignty, limited government, separation of powers, checks and balances, and judicial review. It also covers federalism and the division of powers between the national and state governments. The Constitution has 7 articles that establish the legislative, executive, and judicial branches and set forth their powers and responsibilities. There are also 27 amendments, with the first 10 known as the Bill of Rights guaranteeing basic freedoms. The Constitution can be formally amended through two methods of proposal and two methods of ratification. It can also be informally amended over time through legislation, executive actions, Supreme Court decisions, political parties, and customs.
Feudalism developed in medieval Europe as a political and economic system in response to invasions and weak kings. It involved the division of land among lords in a hierarchy, with lesser lords pledging loyalty and service to greater lords in exchange for protection. Peasants worked the land of the lords in exchange for protection and a small plot to farm. Serfs were bound to the land and made up most of the population.
This document provides an overview of the origins of American government, including the political beginnings of the colonies, the move toward independence, the critical period under the Articles of Confederation, and the creation and ratification of the US Constitution. It discusses the different types of colonies, influential English documents like the Magna Carta, and the first attempts at colonial unity such as the New England Confederation and the Albany Plan of Union. Key events that pushed independence, like the Stamp Act and the Declaration of Independence, are also summarized.
Early civilizations arose in India and China along major river valleys. In India, the earliest civilization flourished for about 1000 years along the Indus River before vanishing. It included urban planning and a written language. Chinese civilization first developed along the Huang He River, with the Shang Dynasty establishing a hierarchical society led by a king. Confucianism and Daoism later emerged as dominant philosophies. The Mughal Empire rose to power in India and made significant cultural contributions, while European traders gradually increased their influence in both regions over this period.
