Suffrage and civil rights
The 15th Amendment extended suffrage to African American men in 1870 but was not enforced, allowing Southern states to prevent African Americans from voting through violence, taxes, literacy tests, and gerrymandering for over 90 years. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 made racial discrimination in voting illegal and suspended literacy tests, increasing African American voter turnout. The Voting Rights Act required states with a history of voter discrimination to get federal approval for any changes to election procedures to prevent continued disenfranchisement.

Articles of confederation activity.doc
The Articles of Confederation gave most powers to the states instead of the central government. It established a weak central government that had to request funds from the states and had no power to levy taxes or regulate commerce. There was no national executive or judicial branch. Unanimity was required to pass laws or amend the Articles. Disputes between states were resolved through arbitration. Sovereignty resided with the states. The Constitution established a stronger central government with powers such as the ability to levy taxes, establish federal courts, and regulate interstate commerce. It created a chief executive and lowered the threshold for amending the Constitution. Representation in Congress was based on population rather than each state having one vote.

Super cool of awesomeness
The document discusses voting in the United States and ancient Athens. It provides information about voter eligibility, participation rates, and the governmental structures of each place. In the U.S., around 227 million people can vote and eligibility is broader than in ancient Athens, where only landowning men could participate. Both societies had legislative bodies where laws were discussed, but Athens did not have a separate judicial branch like the U.S. system. Key differences included longer terms for U.S. presidents compared to one-year terms for Athens' consuls.
Constitutional convention and compromise1
The Constitution strengthened the US government by creating a national federal government to replace the ineffective Articles of Confederation. It established a three-branch government with separate powers and the office of the presidency. It also created a representative democracy and system of checks and balances to limit government power while preserving individual rights.
20 The Constitutional Convention (II)
Covers the key events leading up to and immediately following the ratification of the United States Constitution: the debate between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists, the disagreements over the necessity of a Bill of Rights, and the Constitutional terms that denied full citizenship to Native Americans, African Americans, and American women.
Anitent Athens and U.S govenerment
In ancient Athens, only free adult men who owned land and were born in Athens had the right to vote, making up only about 20% of the population. These citizens were required to participate in voting. 500 names were drawn each year to serve as lawmakers. In contrast, the United States initially only allowed 6% of the population to vote, but voting rights have expanded over time to allow all citizens 18 years and older to vote, regardless of land ownership, birthplace, race, or gender. Both societies practiced some form of democracy and required citizens to participate in voting.

Durlin raceandsuffrage
The 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, prohibited the federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." This was a response to the post-Civil War denial of voting rights to African American males. The amendment applied to all African Americans and other races. It had major consequences, leading to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which protected voting rights. However, states still found ways to restrict African American voting through poll taxes, literacy tests, and violence up until the Voting Rights Act.

1) The Connecticut Compromise established a bicameral legislature with two chambers, to balance the interests of large and small states.
2) The Three-Fifths Compromise determined that slaves would be counted as three-fifths of a person for both representation and taxation.
3) The Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise banned the international slave trade after 1808 but allowed Congress to regulate domestic trade without export taxes.

States upload
States have authority over family laws, professional standards, and areas like education, health, transportation, economic development, and criminal justice. They are also responsible for creating balanced budgets by projecting revenue from taxes, fees, and federal sources to match planned expenses. While states have autonomy, their power is limited, as seen in cases like Arizona v. United States, where the Supreme Court ruled federal immigration law can both preclude state enforcement efforts and preempt conflicting state laws.
Power Point
The document summarizes key events and issues surrounding the creation of the US Constitution:
- After the Revolutionary War, states seized former crown lands but the economy struggled, leading to protests like Shays' Rebellion.
- The Articles of Confederation had weaknesses like the federal government's inability to tax or enforce laws.
- The Constitutional Convention in 1787 addressed these issues. Delegates debated plans and reached compromises, including equal representation of states in the Senate.
- The resulting Constitution established three branches of federal government and a system of checks and balances.
Extending the Bill of Rights
The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments were added after the Civil War to settle disputes around the rights of former slaves. The 13th abolished slavery. The 14th established equal protection under the law and prohibited states from denying rights. The 15th extended the right to vote to African American men.
Conflicts
The document outlines four major conflicts that arose during the drafting of the US Constitution:
1) Small states vs large states over representation, resolved by the Great Compromise which created a bicameral legislature.
2) Northern vs Southern states over slavery, resolved by allowing its continued existence but regulating it and ending the international slave trade.
3) Disagreement over counting slaves for representation, resolved by the Three-Fifths Compromise which counted slaves as three-fifths of a person.
4) Views on the strength of the federal government, resolved by establishing a federal system with divided powers and checks and balances.

02 - Founding and the Constitution
The document discusses the founding of the United States government, including the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and U.S. Constitution. It notes that the Articles of Confederation gave too much power to state governments and too little to the federal government, which led to the drafting of the Constitution. The Constitution established a system of separation of powers and checks and balances to distribute federal power. It also discusses compromises made at the Constitutional Convention, such as the Connecticut Compromise and the Three-Fifths Compromise. The first ten amendments of the Bill of Rights were added to explicitly protect individual liberties.
Chapter 6.1 Notes.ppt
This document summarizes the history of voting rights in the United States. It began with only white male property owners able to vote, but over time restrictions were lifted. Religious qualifications disappeared first, then property ownership requirements. The 15th Amendment granted black men the right to vote but it was often denied. Women gained suffrage in 1920. The civil rights era brought protections for black voting rights and eliminated the poll tax. The 26th Amendment gave 18-year-olds the right to vote. The Constitution restricts states' power to set qualifications based on race, sex, age, and tax payments.
Chap06
The document discusses voting rights and voter behavior in the United States. It covers how voting rights have expanded over time from only allowing white male property owners to vote to all citizens over 18. Key events included the 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments granting rights regardless of race, sex, and lowering the age to 18. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the most effective at protecting minority voting rights. However, voter turnout remains low, especially in non-presidential elections, as many people feel their votes do not matter or distrust the political system. Sociological and psychological factors influence individuals' decisions to vote or not.

2020 Equal Rights Amendment - Minnesota Presentation
The document discusses the history and importance of the Equal Rights Amendment in guaranteeing equal rights and protections under the law regardless of sex. It outlines key events like Alice Paul first proposing the ERA in 1923 and the renewed movement in the 1960s-70s. While many states have adopted ERAs, the federal ERA failed to be ratified by the 1982 deadline due to opposition campaigns spreading misinformation. Proponents argue an ERA is still needed to ensure full legal equality and prevent rights from being rolled back.
Chapter 18 3
The document discusses key events and issues during the Reconstruction era following the American Civil War. It outlines the Reconstruction Acts of 1867 that divided the South into districts and required new state constitutions. It also discusses the Freedmen's Bureau assisting freed black Americans and the passage of the 14th Amendment granting citizenship and equal rights. Resistance from Southern whites led to the rise of organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and attacks on Republicans. Reconstruction efforts eventually lost support in the North and ended in 1877 with the Compromise that withdrew federal troops from the South.

Civics and economics final review
Here are the key points I would consider:
- Students have free speech rights, but schools also have authority over curriculum and activities that could disrupt education.
- The articles discuss sensitive topics and name other students without consent, which could violate privacy and cause harm.
- The principal could require removing names and work with students to address concerns while still publishing revised articles, balancing free expression and privacy.
- If agreement can't be reached, the principal has authority not to publish, though censoring due to just disagreement with views could be unconstitutional.
Overall, the situation requires balancing competing interests through respectful discussion to find an acceptable solution for all.
Recorded - Reconstruction
The document summarizes Reconstruction in the United States from 1865 to 1877 following the Civil War. It describes the tensions between Presidential and Congressional Reconstruction over how to reunite the country and integrate freed slaves. Key events included the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments abolishing slavery and granting citizenship and voting rights to black men, as well as the rise of Jim Crow laws and the Ku Klux Klan restricting those new rights in the South. Reconstruction ultimately ended in 1877 with the Compromise that resolved the disputed 1876 presidential election in favor of Republicans.

Ohio constitution power point
The document provides an overview of the Ohio Constitution and how it compares to the United States Constitution. It explains that the Ohio Constitution is the fundamental law of Ohio and is subordinate only to the US Constitution and federal law. It also notes that the Ohio Constitution is much longer than the US Constitution, as it contains more detailed provisions about state elections, local government, education, and other topics. The key differences highlighted are that the Ohio Constitution is more inclusive than the US Constitution and limits state government powers, while the US Constitution delegates powers to the states.
27 Amendments
This document provides information about the 27 amendments to the US Constitution. It summarizes the key aspects of the 1st through 10th amendments related to individual rights and liberties. It then briefly outlines the 13th through 15th amendments addressing slavery and voting rights after the Civil War.

Chapter 12 government powerpoint
The document summarizes how a bill becomes law in the House of Representatives. It discusses the first steps of introducing a bill, how bills are handled in committees, how House leaders schedule debate on bills, the process on the House floor, and the final step of passing a bill in the House. Key points covered include bills being assigned to committees for review, the use of discharge petitions if a committee does not act on a bill, and committees gathering information through hearings and trips.
Chapter 11 government notes
The Congress has three types of powers - expressed, implied, and inherent. Expressed powers include regulating commerce, taxation, borrowing, and currency. Implied powers allow Congress to pass laws necessary to exercise its expressed powers. Inherent powers derive from Congress creating the national government. Congress shares war powers with the presidency and has powers over foreign relations, territories, judicial system creation, and impeachment.
Chapter 10 government notes
The Legislative Branch creates laws through Congress, which consists of the Senate and House of Representatives. The Senate has two senators per state who serve six-year terms, while the House has 435 members based on population who serve two-year terms. Members of Congress must be at least 25 years old for the House or 30 for the Senate, citizens for at least seven or nine years respectively, and inhabitants of their states. Their roles include legislating, representing constituents, and overseeing the executive branch through committees. They receive salaries around $174,000 along with various benefits and perks.

Chapter 8 government
The document discusses several key aspects of public opinion in the United States, including:
1) Public opinion is difficult to define because there are many groups and many issues to account for.
2) Factors like family, schools, peer groups, media, and historic events influence the development of political opinions over time.
3) Polls are considered the best measure of public opinion, though they are not perfect and public opinion is not the only influence on policy.
The nominating process and primaries
The document discusses the nomination process for political candidates in the United States. It outlines five main ways candidates get nominated: 1) self-announcement, 2) caucuses, 3) conventions, 4) direct primaries, and 5) petitions.

Chapter 5 government notes
The document discusses the origins and roles of political parties in the United States.

It also outlines the typical membership demographics of today's two major parties - Democrats and Republicans. Additionally, it summarizes several prominent third parties in the US and categorizes them based on their ideological focus or origins.
Two party system
The document discusses the two-party system of American government. It provides historical context for how the two-party system emerged and has been maintained over time through factors like single-member districts, winner-take-all elections, and laws protecting the major parties. While the two parties aim to find consensus, there have been times of ideological division in US history around issues like the Civil War and Vietnam War. The document also contrasts the two-party system with multiparty systems in other countries.
Federalism the division of power
Federalism is a system of government where power is divided between a central national government and several regional or state governments, each with their own set of powers. Certain powers are delegated to the national government, such as collecting taxes and declaring war. Other powers are reserved for state governments, like requiring professional licenses and establishing public schools. Some powers are shared between both levels of government, including taxing and defining crimes. The Constitution and 10th Amendment outline this division of powers to maintain a balance of power between the federal and state governments.

Constitutional convention creating constitution
The Constitutional Convention was called in Philadelphia in 1787 to replace the Articles of Confederation. Delegates debated plans like the Virginia Plan, which proposed a strong federal government, and the New Jersey Plan, which supported state equality. They compromised with the Great Compromise, which created a bicameral Congress. They also agreed to the Three-Fifths Compromise to determine representation of slaves. The delegates established three branches of government and a process for amending the Constitution. After signing, the Constitution had to be ratified by nine states, which was achieved in 1788, establishing the new U.S. government.
Our political beginnings
The document discusses the political beginnings of American government, including the basic concepts of ordered, limited, and representative government that developed in England and were brought to the English colonies. It specifically mentions landmark English documents like the Magna Carta, Petition of Right, and Bill of Rights that limited the power of the king and established rights. The document also describes the different types of English colonies - royal, proprietary, and charter - and how their governments were structured.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
