Who was George Washington?
Answer:
George Washington (1732-99) was commander in chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) and served two terms as the first U.S. president, from 1789 to 1797. The son of a prosperous planter, Washington was raised in colonial Virginia. As a young man, he worked as a surveyor then fought in the French and Indian War (1754-63). During the American Revolution, he led the colonial forces to victory over the British and became a national hero. In 1787, he was elected president of the convention that wrote the U.S. Constitution. Two years later, Washington became America’s first president. Realizing that the way he handled the job would impact how future presidents approached the position, he handed down a legacy of strength, integrity and national purpose. Less than three years after leaving office, he died at his Virginia plantation, Mount Vernon, at age 67.

The correct diagram matches the early Mesopotamian civilization of the Hittites with one of their accomplishments, which was the development of the first code of laws in Mesopotamia.
The Hittite civilization was located in present day Turkey and dates back to approximately 1600 BC. They were known for their advanced architectural and engineering skills and for their warlike nature. They were also known for their diplomatic skills, successful trade networks, and use of chariots to expand their empire throughout the Middle East.
It was during this time that they developed one of the earliest known codes of laws. This code of law was used to govern their own people and served as a basis for establishing governing principles for many of their conquered territories. These laws were not only used to punish criminals and address civil matters, but were also used to offer protection for those under the rule of the Hittite empire. These laws would go on to form the basis of many law systems throughout the Middle East and beyond.

See all media
Born: April 3, 1823 New York City New York
Died: April 12, 1878 (aged 55) New York City New York
Political Affiliation: Democratic Party
Tweed was a bookkeeper and a volunteer fireman when elected alderman on his second try in 1851, and the following year he was also elected to a term in Congress. He gradually strengthened his position in Tammany Hall (the executive committee of New York City’s Democratic Party organization), and in 1856 he was elected to a new, bipartisan city board of supervisors, after which he held other important positions in the city government. Meanwhile, he managed to have his cronies named to other key city and county posts, thus establishing what became the Tweed ring. By 1860 he headed Tammany Hall’s general committee and thus controlled the Democratic Party’s nominations to all city positions. In that same year he opened a law office through which he received large fees from various corporations for his “legal services.” He became a state senator in 1868 and also became grand sachem (principal leader) of Tammany Hall that same year. Tweed dominated the Democratic Party in both the city and the state and had his candidates elected mayor of New York City, governor, and speaker of the state assembly.
In 1870 Tweed forced the passage of a new city charter creating a board of audit by means of which he and his associates could control the city treasury. The Tweed ring then proceeded to milk the city through such devices as faked leases, padded bills, false vouchers, unnecessary repairs, and overpriced goods and services bought from suppliers controlled by the ring. Vote fraud at elections was rampant. While addressing later corruption in St. Louis in a 1902 article for McClure’s magazine called “Tweed Days in St. Louis,” Lincoln Steffens and Claude H. Wetmore wrote:
The Tweed regime in New York taught Tammany to organize its boodle business; the police exposure taught it to improve its method of collecting blackmail.
Toppling Tweed became the prime goal of a growing reform movement. Exposed at last by The New York Times, the satiric cartoons of Thomas Nast in Harper’s Weekly, and the efforts of a reform lawyer, Samuel J. Tilden, Tweed was tried on charges of forgery and larceny. He was convicted and sentenced to prison (1873) but was released in 1875. Rearrested on a civil charge, he was convicted and imprisoned, but he escaped to Cuba and then to Spain. Again arrested and extradited to the United States, he was confined again to jail in New York City, where he died.

why did daniel webster think that a war over secession was inevitable
Explanation:
He was a famous orator. In the hot-tempered times before the Civil War, he wanted to preserve the Union—even if that meant compromise. He thundered, "Slavery is wrong!" but to keep the southern states from seceding, he supported the Compromise of 1850 allowing slavery in new territories.

2) (2 pts) How are the Declaration and Constitution similar?
3) (2 pts) How are the Declaration and Constitution different?
4) (2 pts) How do we know that the US Constitution is meant to be a “living” document?
Answer:
1)The most obvious similarity between the two documents is their intended purpose. Both of these Bills of Rights are expressly designed to amend the constitution of each nation and act as a living document to spell out various legal matters, particularly rights and liberties.
2)The Declaration was designed to justify breaking away from a government; the Constitution and Bill of Rights were designed to establish a government. The Declaration stands on its own—it has never been amended—while the Constitution has been amended 27 times.
3)The Constitution of the United States is the foundation of our Federal Government. ... At the same time, it is flexible and allows for changes in the Government. The Constitution is known as a “living” document because it can be amended, although in over 200 years there have only been 27 amendments.

How do Amendments 9 and 10 limit the power of the national government?
Answer:
Whereas the Ninth Amendment provides that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution does not deny or disparage other unenumerated rights retained by the people, the Tenth Amendment clearly reserves to the states those powers that the Constitution neither delegates to the federal government nor prohibits to the states. The Tenth Amendment does not impose any specific limitations on the authority of the federal government; though there had been an attempt to do so, Congress defeated a motion to modify the word delegated with expressly in the amendment. It thus does not grant states additional powers, nor does it alter the relationship that exists between the federal government and the states. It merely indicates that the states may establish and maintain their own laws and policies so long as they do not conflict with the authority of the federal government.
