In the early spring of 1940, the US military faced a seemingly insurmountable task. With Poland overrun by German armored columns now poised to strike at France, and China under assault by Japan, America’s commanders had to prepare the US military for war. The problem was not a dearth of troops—after Adolf Hitler’s blitzkrieg rolled through Poland in September 1939, Congress had mobilized the National Guard and Reserve and approved an increase in the size of the Army. It was that the existing troops were poorly trained or not trained at all.
No one was more acutely aware of this than Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall. A student of history, Marshall was certain American boys were as courageous as any German or Japanese soldier, but they lacked sufficient training and combat experience—and time was short. Marshall concluded that what America’s burgeoning ranks needed was a complex training exercise, an exacting test in an environment that would closely approximate the realities of the battlefield.
—“Louisiana Maneuvers” by Mark Perry
What was General Marshall’s biggest concern about the US Army in 1940?
There were not enough soldiers enlisted in the military.
Most soldiers had received little preparation on how to fight a war.
There was no land available to complete combat training exercises.
American troops were already struggling in the fight against Germany.

1a. In 2 to 3 sentences summarize the story of the article
1b. Which amendments is involved in this story?
1c. How was this amendment involved?
Answers
Answer:
1a: This article is centered around the Gile County school district, where Narrow High School was in hot water after putting up a poster of the ten commandments from the bible which is a religious document. This caused a lot of controversy, cause it was seen as a certain religion was forced on students. The school faced a lawsuit that made them take the poster down. Even so the school board still tried to have it up, but now with the declaration of independence around it. They went to court again with more judges as they tried to come up with a logical solution.
1b: The First Amendment
1c: The First Amendment was involved because the Gile School District wanted to be allowed to put up religion based content in schools. Which the school and the opposing side think is against their first amendment right to freely exercise their religion. But the fact that it is in a public school changes things.
Sorry if any of this is wrong I tried my best, but anything is better than a zero.

These include Russia, Poland, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Using the Internet, an encyclopedia, or other resources, research the period of communism in the chosen country, and write a report in which you describe what life was like for the citizens during the era of communism. Your report should be approximately 300 words in length.
Answers
Explanation:
Period of Communism: Brutal battles raged across the republic between 1941-1945. Although the Partisan movement initially consisted mainly of Serbs, its leadership strived to maintain equal rights of all three nations of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The history of Bosnia has not been easy, it has been conquered by many foreign powers and has become religiously and nationally divided. During the Il World War Bosnia was occupied by Croatia and fell victim to ethnic cleansing and civil war. Part of population joined Croatian forces, other Serbian Chetniks and third communist partisans.
In 1944-1945 communist partisans achieved victory, Yugoslavian Republic was created and the terror against the non communist forces launched. After mass-killings in 1945, thousands of people were arrested and send to the labour camps. Even as compared to other communist countries Yugoslavia was liberal country and developed well, the opposition was not allowed. In 1983 several moslem dissidents were send to jail, as a result conflicts only increased in Bosnia. After the collapse of communism bloody civil war started. Bosnia has even not by now healed the wounds of this terrible conflict.

Farmers

I think that maybe all of them would all argue, but farmers are the ones since the Carolina parakeet damage their crops. The bird watchers won't be much affected, since they sightsee the birds. The Industrialists own the land so they might be angry. The Textile mill owners might as well. But I think the farmers will argue the most.

The government should work hard to help improve every aspect of citizens’ lives.
The government’s job is to make decisions since most people are too uneducated.
The government only exists to protect the country in case of war.
The government should not be very involved in the individual lives of citizens.
Answers
The government should not be very involved in the individual lives of citizens.
Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, which officially declared that the American Colonies were completely free of British authority and influence.
Jefferson's beliefs about government are as follows:
He was influenced by Social Contract order, which suggests that people are born into the world without any knowledge or opinions but then develop their views based on their society. Their society, in turn, is affected and altered based on the people’s beliefs.The social contract states that people should believe in organized government, and government should trust their people.Hence, as according to Jefferson's beliefs about government, Individual liberty and order should have a balance, and therefore the last option is correct.
