What powers do American people have in the process of ratifying an amendment?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Congress may submit a proposed constitutional amendment to the states, if the proposed amendment language is approved by a two-thirds vote of both houses. Congress must call a convention for proposing amendments upon application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the states. This sounds really confusing. I'm not really good at writing and stuff, sooooo.

Describe the difference between saving and investing.

Answers

Answer:


personal answer: saving could be limiting the money you spend and keeping it somewhere safe instead, and investing is putting money into something to see more money as an outcome

“Saving can also mean putting your money into products such as a bank time account (CD). Investing — using some of your money with the aim of helping to make it grow by buying assets that might increase in value, such as stocks, property or shares in a mutual fund.”

Answer:

A "Savings" is when you put your money in a safe place and it would also be a place that you could access whenever you want to. Some examples are CD or certificate of deposits, checking accounts, and savings accounts. Many banks will insure your accounts through the FDIC. There is a cost associated with the safety and accessibility of these saving types: the low wage your money earns while working for you.

Investing is more of a risk and you have more of a chance of losing your money than when you have it in a savings type account. The money isn't insured by the FDIC when you put it in mutual funds, securities, etc. You may even lose the money  you invested even if it's with a bank. There is also a chance to earn more money investing than you would with a savings account. The downfall is that there is more of a risk but also the chance of a larger return.

We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.
Texas Secession Convention, 1861

Answers

Answer:

The people of Georgia having dissolved their political connection with the Government of the United States of America, present to their confederates and the world the causes which have led to the separation. For the last ten years we have had numerous and serious causes of complaint against our non-slave-holding confederate States with reference to the subject of African slavery. They have endeavored to weaken our security, to disturb our domestic peace and tranquility, and persistently refused to comply with their express constitutional obligations to us in reference to that property, and by the use of their power in the Federal Government have striven to deprive us of an equal enjoyment of the common Territories of the Republic. This hostile policy of our confederates has been pursued with every circumstance of aggravation which could arouse the passions and excite the hatred of our people, and has placed the two sections of the Union for many years past in the condition of virtual civil war. Our people, still attached to the Union from habit and national traditions, and averse to change, hoped that time, reason, and argument would bring, if not redress, at least exemption from further insults, injuries, and dangers. Recent events have fully dissipated all such hopes and demonstrated the necessity of separation.

Our Northern confederates, after a full and calm hearing of all the facts, after a fair warning of our purpose not to submit to the rule of the authors of all these wrongs and injuries, have by a large majority committed the Government of the United States into their hands. The people of Georgia, after an equally full and fair and deliberate hearing of the case, have declared with equal firmness that they shall not rule over them. A brief history of the rise, progress, and policy of anti-slavery and the political organization into whose hands the administration of the Federal Government has been committed will fully justify the pronounced verdict of the people of Georgia. The party of Lincoln, called the Republican party, under its present name and organization, is of recent origin. It is admitted to be an anti-slavery party. While it attracts to itself by its creed the scattered advocates of exploded political heresies, of condemned theories in political economy, the advocates of commercial restrictions, of protection, of special privileges, of waste and corruption in the administration of Government, anti-slavery is its mission and its purpose. By anti-slavery it is made a power in the state. The question of slavery was the great difficulty in the way of the formation of the Constitution.

This excerpt can seem difficult to interpret, but it's easiest to take it line by line. It basically means that the writer and his people have faced many hardships (obstacles) and have asked for change and help very humbly. The writer and his people continue to ask for help, but it only gets worse. Then, the writer compares the Prince to a tyrant (an unjust and harsh ruler), and says he should not be in charge of a group of free people. This is in reference to King George III, who was the oppressive King of England when this document (The Declaration of Independence) was written. Hope this helps!!

International human rights is a powerful idea in our time, but also the focus of numerous controversies: it not only embodies a set of ideals but also functions as a political tool, which different forces try to bend to their own ends. The result of this struggle is a process of norm contestation and norm change that the course seeks to understand. The course looks at the laws and institutions that define human rights as an international regime, in the context of key intellectual controversies and political puzzles surrounding human rights theory and practice. It discusses how human rights norms change, and it analyzes some of the challenges of contemporary human rights advocacy.

I'm guessing you meant why is keeping the authority that the people and the government have equal important? If not, feel free to correct me and I'll give you another answer.

Explanation:

It's important to keep the authority that they have equal, because it allows both sides to keep the other in check. When one starts to gain more power than the other, problems will begin to ensue. If the government has more authority than the people, unreasonable laws and taxes can be set, and dictators and poverty sets in. If the people have more authority than the government, then laws can be easily disregarded without consequences, and crime rates will increase.

Explain how the story of Exodus illustrates the important ideas taught in the Jewish religion.

Answers

Answer:

The Exile tale describes the Jews' struggle in Egypt, their redemption by Yahweh, and their expulsion from Egypt. They promised to become his people after being selected and forming a pact with him.

Answer:

The Book of Exodus tells us about the special relationship between the Jewish god, Yahweh, and the Israelite people.

The Book of Exodus is the second book of the Torah, the most holy book in the Jewish tradition. The word “exodus” means when many people leave a place. The Book of Exodus tells how the Israelite people were freed from slavery in Egypt by their god, Yahweh, and under the leadership of Moses. Moses is considered an important prophet in three major world religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

The Book of Exodus is a sacred story to these three religions. While many followers of these faiths believe Moses wrote the Book of Exodus, modern historians believe Moses was not a real person and the Book of Exodus is a collection of stories from earlier times. Students of history can use the story to understand the history and culture of the Israelite nation and the origin of these three faiths.

I need some advice for a story I'm writing for English class... It was a dark quiet night, Halloween night when Celestia screamed. Celestia was a dragon human hybrid with dark blue hair and kind light blue eyes, dark blue wings, a dark blue tail, her hair was always in what looked like two buns on top of her head the little bit of hair that was too short-covering her ears with her bangs shadowing her face, she was in a witch costume that was black dark purple and dark pink with a black hat. Nikki came running her longish white and purple hair in a messy bun, she was wearing her mad scientist costume but the fake blood looked suspiciously realistic. Wannabe ran in looking like the human form of sans along with Angel a few feet behind him dressed as a fairy. Nikki stood staring trying not to cry. Nikkis friend Emery came in wearing her police uniform on and blue blonde hair up in a ponytail along with Rihanna in her outfit that she wore at her concert the night before, the light baby blue costume made her light pink eyes stand out and her fox tail nearly invisible under a big black bow, her hair in ponytails right behind her fox ears. The two stared in horror at what seemed to have happened, one of their friends had been brutally murdered but their face was unrecognizable from the damage. Nikki stood up and took ad headcount matching names with faces until she realized who it was. Im going to find the person who did this and make them pay, Nikki said in a dark evil angry voice, she was mad and near her breaking point. Nikki left the room unable to look at her friend lying there dead while everyone else looked at each other. Kind convenient YOU found him like this Celie Rihanna said to Celestia glaring at her, the two never liked each other and were always fighting. First of all, I couldnt handle the blood. Second of all, thats my friend! Why would I hurt him!?!? Celestia snapped, angry she was accused of the crime. You found him like this. That's a little suspicious dont you think? Rihanna said giving Celestia looks. I hate to say this but Nikki could have been faking the blood on her costume looks a bit too realistic Angel said her voice trailing off, she hated to accuse Nikki but at this point, they were all suspects except for Angel. She had said before that she'd never been able to kill someone and get away with it shed end up admitting she did it. Nikki came back in a completely different costume, her Sara Sanderson costume to be exact. Why did you change costumes? Angel questioned Nikki, changing costumes because there was what looked like blood on the other was suspicious. You act like I can choose to wear only one costume, heck Ill probably end up wearing a cosplay before we figure out who did this, Nikki answered, it was true Nikki tended to wear up to ten outfits a day so why would today be any different? Emery glared at Nikki, she didnt believe her story. Seems pretty convenient she had to change costumes so soon... She thought suspecting Nikki was hiding something. Lets do this Danganronpa style!
