I believe the Constitution did a better job of protecting liberties, specifically in the areas of the federal court system, representation of the people, and the levy of taxes. Alexander Hamilton, statesman and economist, proclaimed "Laws are a dead letter without courts to expound and define their true meaning and operation”. The Articles of Confederation which gave rise to the Confederation government that took effect in March 1781, did not give the national government any means to enforce the federal laws. The states could, and often did, choose to interpret or enforce federal laws in any manner they saw fit. This led to disputes amongst the states that could not be readily settled, as it relied on each state’s court system which invariably chose to discount the ruling of the other states.
He argued that social development studies showed changes in their social behaviors and their interactions once in their new environment. Thus, he concluded that the new society was uniquely America. He has a very valid argument, but I believe he could have maintained the strength of his argument while also including the fact that the American people coming from British roots, the Puritans, the Royalist elites, the North Midlanders of England and the North British and Irish were still unique as a sub-culture melded together by the choice for religious and economic freedom. The pursuit to own land and accumulate wealth, and not be under the rule of the crown was first and foremost in the early colonists minds. Fisher rests his entire point of view based on the roots of the four British folkways that separated the settlers in America.
White speculates that the beginnings of the change in attitude came with changes in ways of viewing humans' relationship with the local environment that came with the invention of, for instance, the furrowing plow. This plow, for example, represented much greater power of the land, and allowed the development of an exploitative attitude. This, along with other influences, led to humans distinguishing themselves from nature. The key influence here is religion, in particular, Christianity. Christianity, according to White, has at its foundations certain beliefs that have had a direct impact on our environmental
Specyalski 1 Connie Specyalski Mr. Larson USHD November 6, 2013 The Cherokees Stay, Mr. Jackson Dear America, Our nation as a whole is changing. With great progress in manufacturing, improvement in transportation, settling into western lands, and strengthening our democracy, it would be foolish to not try and expand American territory. Some of you would agree with Andrew Jackson, who deems it’s necessary to remove the Cherokees from their land. It is true that by having the Natives resettle in the West, it would benefit our nation by providing us with farmland as well as mining the land for gold. However, you must also take the Cherokees’ point of view into consideration.
The New World Man The song ‘New World Man’ is about how America is changing and growing for the better. The experiences in America were put into metaphors and made into a song reflecting the growth and learning with new changes over time. America is cleaning up the land so that nature was and is today pure and trying to keep the country in control. Also, America makes choices to and learns by its own mistakes. When the Louisiana Purchase was bought in 1803, Lewis and Clark went to discover the mysterious territory and see the changes that could be made into something great we see today.
As Brooks mention in his essay, the segmentation of the society divide the country. The pursuit of diversity strengthens of America is in unity, as a nation there is a need to come together as a people combine talents and powers towards accomplishing a common goal. Because of diversity, one would be able to add to their development by learning from other cultures. These diverse vantage works to our advantage when we encounter new problems in different situations. Rather than viewing the world through a single focus lens one is to view the world from another perspective.
Aside from the cultural aspects of human geography and how humans affect the earth, physical geography (especially this course) is essential to understanding the opposite. How does the earth affect humans and the way they live and have lived throughout history and across the different continents? Work Cited Adebola, Simon. "Healthcare « I Initiative." I Initiative.
It proves how different people can be and how different people can believe and still cooperate under the same government and within the same borders. With the expansion of the United States came this belief or Manifest Destiny. Americans believed that it was their duty and responsibility to expand America. They believed that they needed to extend their “boundaries of freedom.” In doing so, they brought their form of government to those who appreciated it, and to those who felt it imposing on them, like many Native Americans. With the Great depression of America, American Exceptionalism was greatly changed.

Yuying Mao (Alexa) 04/19/2015 EAD II, Section 4 4.3 Professor Kalteissen Living in Diversity The future of America, the country often being described as “the most diverse country in the world,” might thus depend on, to a great extent, how this country and its people deal with this unique kind of diversity. The unique diversity could be traced back to the early development of this country—the foundation of America and its territorial expansion may be more or less a process of “including” everyone on its land. By putting a quote around including it means this process could also involve unfortunate exclusion like colonizing aboriginal residents. This is the jumping-off point of Sherman Alexie’s essay “What Sacagawea Means to Me,” where he
