TX History Ch 10.1
The Fredonian Rebellion of 1826 occurred when Haden Edwards' empresario contract to settle 800 families near Nacogdoches was cancelled by the Mexican government. In response, Haden's brother Benjamin Edwards declared part of East Texas to be an independent Republic called the Fredonian Republic. However, the rebellion was short-lived as Stephen F. Austin led a militia and Mexican army to confront the Fredonians, who then fled. The rebellion worried the Mexican government and prompted an investigation by General Manuel de Mier y Teran, who warned that growing American influence in Texas could threaten Mexican control of the region.
Tinker Vs. Des Moines
John Tinker, Mary Beth Tinker, and Christopher Echardt wore black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam War and were suspended as a result. Their family sued the Des Moines school district, arguing this violated their right to freedom of speech. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled 7-2 in favor of the students, establishing that student expression could not be limited without interfering with the work of the school or impinging on the rights of others. This case set a precedent that student rights to free speech in schools are protected unless they cause a substantial disruption.

Us Territorial Expansion
The United States expanded its territory through various means in the 19th century, driven by the idea of Manifest Destiny. This included the Louisiana Purchase which doubled the size of the country, the annexation of Texas which increased tensions with Mexico and led to the Mexican-American War where the US acquired even more land in the West. Additional territories were acquired through treaties and negotiations with European powers like Spain and Britain.
Jacksonian Democracy Presentation
Andrew Jackson was the 7th US President known for expanding executive power and populism. Under Jackson, the "spoils system" rewarded political supporters with government jobs. He also faced the Nullification Crisis over high tariffs, threatening force against states trying to nullify federal law. Jackson aggressively pursued the forced removal of Native Americans, like the Trail of Tears, to gain more land. His actions increased presidential authority and aligned the government more with common voters over elites.
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 War of 1812 had several causes, including American expansion into Native American lands which Britain encouraged, tensions between the U.S., Britain, and France during the Napoleonic Wars that led to attacks on American merchant ships and impressment of U.S. sailors, and economic sanctions like the Embargo Act of 1807 that failed to stop the attacks but hurt the American economy. Frustrated by Britain's continued raids and impressment of sailors, President Madison officially led the U.S. into war against Britain in 1812 despite the British no longer wanting war with America.
Texas Slideshow
Texas has a diverse landscape ranging from mountains and forests to coastal plains. It has a mostly hot, dry climate but temperature varies by region. Six flags have flown over Texas since it was first settled by Americans in the 1820s when it was part of Mexico. Texas gained independence from Mexico and became a republic in 1836 after battles at the Alamo and San Jacinto, and it later joined the United States as a state in 1845. The state is known for oil and cattle production as well as native plants that thrive in its climate with little water.

It outlines key events and accomplishments of their terms, including Washington establishing precedents like the cabinet system, Adams passing the controversial Alien and Sedition Acts, and Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase doubling the size of the US. Critical court cases like Marbury v. Madison that established judicial review also occurred during these early administrations.
TX History Ch 11.2
The Consultation of 1835 was a meeting called by William H. Wharton to discuss Texas' future within Mexico. At the meeting, Branch T. Archer was elected president. Delegates debated between declaring immediate independence from Mexico or remaining loyal in hopes Mexico would restore the Constitution of 1824. The Consultation ultimately created a provisional government and pledged loyalty to Mexico while warning of independence if reforms did not occur. Sam Houston was named commander-in-chief of the Texas army.
TX History Ch 16.1
Tensions rose between the United States and Mexico in the 1840s following the annexation of Texas by the US. The US claimed the border of Texas was the Rio Grande river, while Mexico claimed it was the Nueces river further north. In 1846, Mexican forces attacked US troops along the Rio Grande, which President Polk used to convince Congress to declare war, seeking to expand US territory. Under the leadership of generals Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott, US forces defeated Mexican armies and captured key cities like Mexico City. The Mexican War ended in 1848 with the US gaining control of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming.
TX History Ch 3.1
Texas has several regions with different landforms and climates. The state is often divided into northern, southern, eastern, and western regions based on location, but some areas like Ft. Worth are considered part of the west due to cultural ties. Parts of Texas fall into four natural regions: the Gulf Coastal Plain, Central Plains, Great Plains, and Intermountain Basins and Plateaus.
War Of 1812
The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Britain for several reasons: Britain imposed trade restrictions and impressed American sailors into the Royal Navy, and supported American Indian tribes resisting American expansion. Key battles included the British burning of Washington D.C., American victories at Thames and Baltimore which turned the tide, and the decisive American victory at New Orleans after the Treaty of Ghent had already ended the war. The war promoted American nationalism but resolved none of the original disputes and no territory changed hands, though it ended Indian resistance in the South and West.
TX History Ch 15.1
The document discusses the annexation of Texas to the United States between 1836-1845. It describes how Texans approved annexation in 1836 after gaining independence from Mexico. The US was divided on the issue regionally over the expansion of slavery. Several presidents and politicians supported annexation while others opposed it. James K. Polk, a supporter of annexation and manifest destiny, was elected president in 1844 on a platform of annexing Texas. The Texas annexation resolution was finally passed in 1845, making Texas the 28th state.
TX History Ch 10.2
Tensions grew between Mexican troops and Texas settlers in the 1830s. In 1831, Colonel Juan Bradburn arrested several settlers in Anahuac, including William Travis, angering Texans. Settlers demanded the prisoners' release, but Bradburn refused. John Austin organized settlers and marched on Anahuac with a cannon, though they withdrew when Bradburn agreed to release prisoners. This led to the Turtle Bayou Resolutions where settlers declared they were not in rebellion against Mexico but defending their rights. Conflict continued until Colonel Piedras removed Bradburn from his post and released the prisoners.

Roe v wade
Jane Roe, an unmarried pregnant woman, challenged a Texas law banning abortion in 1973, arguing for a woman's right to privacy and abortion access. The Supreme Court found no constitutional protection for the unborn and that states lacked compelling reasons to restrict abortion, legalizing it but intensifying debate between pro-life and pro-choice groups over this landmark for women's rights and judicial history.
Roe v. Wade
Roe v. Wade was a 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide and established a woman's right to abortion under the 14th Amendment. Prior to this ruling, states had varying abortion laws and many women resorted to dangerous illegal "back alley abortions" with uneven access to medical services. Roe v. Wade determined that abortion is legal until viability at 24-28 weeks and superseded the patchwork of state laws. However, the decision divided public opinion and the country. Subsequent rulings like Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992 have upheld some state restrictions like waiting periods as long as they do not pose an "undue burden."
Case law
- Plessy v. Ferguson involved Homer Plessy being arrested for refusing to leave a "whites only" train car as required by Louisiana law. The Supreme Court ruled that the law requiring racial segregation was constitutional under the doctrine of "separate but equal."
- Tinker v. Des Moines established that students have free speech rights in school, but that speech can be regulated if it causes a substantial disruption to the learning environment. The case involved students suspended for wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam War.
- Texas v. Johnson overturned a Texas law prohibiting flag desecration, ruling that burning the American flag as a form of political protest is a protected expressive act under the First

United States Federal Government Structure for International Students
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.

Libel and the media
The document discusses the evolution of libel law in the United States, beginning with the 1964 Supreme Court case New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. This ruling established the "actual malice" standard, requiring that public officials prove a statement was made with knowledge of its falsity or reckless disregard for the truth in order to win a libel suit. The ruling marked a shift toward protecting press freedom and criticism of public figures under the First Amendment. Subsequent cases extended this standard and defined what constitutes reckless disregard, changing the landscape of libel significantly in favor of media defendants.

Atom
The atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of that element. Atoms are composed of a dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons, while electrons orbit the outside. Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge, and electrons are negatively charged. Together these subatomic particles form the basic building block of all matter.

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.

Texas v. Johnson (1989)
- 1. TEXAS V. JOHNSON (1989) BY CINITA CYRIAC & JANE THOMAS
- 2. FACTS • In 1984, Gregory Lee Johnson (Defendant) publicly burns an American Flag as a means of political protest at the Republican National Convention in Dallas. • He was convicted of desecrating a flag in violation of Texas law. • He was convicted under the violation of a law that mandated the illegality of the destruction of items and objects considered to be both „respected and venerated‟ • It went from Texas Court of Criminal Appeals to the Supreme Court. • The issue was whether the First Amendment protects desecration of the United States flag as a form of symbolic speech. • The Court held that Johnson's burning of a flag was a protected expression under the First Amendment.
- 3. CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES The main legal issues/questions that dealt with this case • Is the desecration of an American flag, by burning or otherwise, a form of speech that is protected under the First Amendment? • Are Johnson’s actions simply a form of “symbolic speech”? • Whether the state’s interest in preserving the flag as a symbol of nationhood justifies Defendant’s conviction? • Was this a breach of peace?
- 5. WHY JOHNSON'S ACTIONS WERE NOT IN VIOLATION OF ANY LAWS? • “the Government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable.” • The fact that an audience takes offense to certain ideas or expression, the Court found, does not justify prohibitions of speech. • Johnson's burning of the flag was considered an expressive conduct, permitting him to invoke the First Amendment: • “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” • Freedom of expression is an unalienable right afforded to every citizen of the United States of America • His actions were considered a sort of symbolic speech; actions or notions that are considered part of expressive speech and protected under the “freedom of speech" clause.
