If you could change an amendment, which one would it be and why?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Because of controversies over judicial (and other) appointments, I would propose two amendments to the Constitution:

1. Each seat on the Supreme Court would be limited to a term of 18 years, with terms staggered to expire every two years. That would allow every president to appoint at least two justices.

2. Every presidential nominee would be considered to be confirmed if the Senate does not affirm or reject the nomination within 120 days. The recess appointments clause should also be changed so that appointments are effective only for the recess and 120 days after the Senate returns to session.

The Equal Protection Clause has been interpreted to guarantee equal rights for a wide range of groups. Yet without explicit protections in the constitutional text, these interpretations could easily shift — especially as the Supreme Court’s composition evolves. The Constitution should specifically guarantee equal rights regardless of gender, race/ethnicity, religion, country of origin, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity.

Guarantees of equal rights that were uncommon over 200 years ago when our Constitution was adopted are now widespread internationally. A majority of constitutions explicitly protect equal rights or prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender (85 percent do so), race or ethnicity (76 percent), and religion (78 percent). A growing number cover disability, social position, migration status, sexual orientation and gender identity.

summarize the treaties that led to the end of the cold war

Answers

Answer:U.S.-Soviet relations improved considerably during the middle 1980s. At a dramatic summit meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland, in October 1986, Gorbachev proposed a 50-percent reduction in the nuclear arsenals of each side, and for a time it seemed as though a historic agreement would be reached. The summit ended in failure, owing to differences over SDI. However, on December 8, 1987, the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty was signed in Washington, eliminating an entire class of nuclear weapons. The INF Treaty was the first arms-control pact to require an actual reduction in nuclear arsenals rather than merely restricting their proliferation.

As the decade came to an end, much of the Eastern Bloc began to crumble. The Hungarian government took down the barbed wire on its border with Austria and the West. The Soviet Union did nothing in response. Although travel was still not completely free, the Iron Curtain was starting to unravel. On November 10, 1989, one of the most famous symbols of the Cold War came down: the Berlin Wall. By the end of the year, leaders of every Eastern European nation except Bulgaria had been ousted by popular uprisings.

By mid-1990, many of the Soviet republics had declared their independence. Turmoil in the Soviet Union continued, as there were several attempts at overthrowing Gorbachev. On December 8, 1991, the Soviet Union ceased to exist. Boris Yeltsin, president of the Russian Republic, formed the Commonwealth of Independent States (C.I.S.). After 45 years, the Cold War was over.

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Desafortunadamente, olvidaste anexar opciones o incisos para responder a la pregunta.

Pero con tal de ayudarte, te podemos comentar lo siguiente.

Es el porcentaje de valor que debe proceder de los países miembros de un acuerdo para que sea considerado originario. Estamos hablando del término comercial internacional conocido como las "normas de origen o las "reglas de origen."

Este concepto fue introducido y es respaldado por la Organización Mundial de Comercio (OMC), que es el organismo internacional que regula el comercio entre sus miembros, y cuy objetivo es facilitar el intercambio comercial entre países, escuchar y dirimir diferencias cuando se presentan.

Para esta organización, cuando se habla de normar de origen se debe de entender que son criterios obligados para señalar el lugar de procedencia de las mercancías que se exportan-importan. Depende del país de procedencia de las mercancías es que se cobra un impuesto o arancel diferente

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not include options to answer the question.

However, we can answer it based on our knowledge of the subject.

The arrival in Texas of the industries of munitions, shipbuilding, and petroleum was the direct result of the war.

Yes, industrialization and the fabrication of ships, supplies for the war, and the development of the oil industry was a direct result of the United States entering World War I.

With the United States entering the war, the troops at the war front needed all kinds of war supplies. Oil played a key role as an important raw material in the industries, as well as steel for shipbuilding. Industries had to work hard to comply with the war demanding and the US army necessities in Europe.

Answers

Answer:

I believe and consider Nelson Mandela to be a hero because his ways of working things out was bringing himself and his people a better life. On the other hand, Augusto Pinochet, I consider him a villain because he was responsible for many tragedies, yet never really charged for them.

Background

Nelson Mandela was a South African activist, politician, anti-apartheid, and a philanthropist.

Born: July 18, 1918

Died: December 5, 2013

Augusto Pinochet was a Chilean dictator that took his power for granted and gave himself a bad history, although he didn't see it that way.

Born: November 25, 1915

Died: 2006

Contributions

Contributions

Nelson Mandela taught his nation the real meaning of activism, showed his power for human spirit, brought Apartheid to an end, became first black president of South Africa, and remained devoted to the idea of peace and justice.

Augusto Pinochet, wasn't really a positive contributor. He violated the peoples' rights, ruined education for some, snatched job opportunies, canceled elections that were for good causes, illegally elected himself as president, and he was known for dividing rather than uniting.

Legacy

Legacy

Nelson Mandela caused a positive impact around the world. He became a representation of an achievement with dedication to a good cause. He also brought peaceful protests and when needed, armed resistance.

Augusto Pinochet is remembered as a cold-hearted who tortured and murdered thousands of people. Murdered/disappeared more than 3,200 and tortured about 28,000. Chile's military today doesn't want to recognize him and political groups that favored him, now reject him and his family.

Conclusion

I chose Mandela as a hero because he is someone I've always been inspired by. He taught to stand up for good causes and remain devoted, until you achieve it.

I chose Pinochet as a villain because I believe he didn't have what it took to be a presisdent, he shouldn't have had any power whatsoever. He was resposible for thousands of deaths

Answer:

The author's purpose in writing this article is to elucidate the tragic and vicious manner in which Japan committed a genocide on the Chinese nation. The author wrote, " But what was exorbitant -and terrifying- about the Second Sino Japanese war were the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese military which reached depths of depravity unmatched in modern warfare." This shows that the crimes committed by the Japanese were heinous and the author detailed most of them.

Explanation:

This CommonLit article by Mike Kubic provides an insight into the atrocities committed by the Japanese nation on China from the late 1800's to 1945. These atrocities show the ease with which young minds can be easily influenced to hate a whole people and inflict harm on them. The author of the article vividly described the manner in which these crimes were committed.

Japanese attack was spurred by just hatred of the Chinese nation and a greed for the resources of other nations to motivate their own agenda. They were only stopped after the attack of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Constitutional Convention

Answers

The Constitutional Convention[1] (contemporarily known as the Federal Convention,[1] the Philadelphia Convention,[1] or the Grand Convention at Philadelphia)[2][3] took place from May 25 to September 17, 1787, in the old Pennsylvania State House (now known as Independence Hall) in Philadelphia. Although the convention was intended to revise the league of states and first system of government under the Articles of Confederation,[4] the intention from the outset of many of its proponents, chief among them James Madison of Virginia and Alexander Hamilton of New York, was to create a new government rather than fix the existing one. The delegates elected George Washington of Virginia, former commanding general of the Continental Army in the late American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) and proponent of a stronger national government, to become President of the convention. The result of the convention was the creation of the Constitution of the United States, placing the Convention among the most significant events in American history.
