The Act gave no mention to Native Americans already living on the allocated land. For a small filing fee and agreeing to live on the land and improve it for at least five years, each filer receives 160 acres. People can also agree to pay $1.25 per acre and own the land after six months. On the vast sweep of the plains and prairies, there was room for at least half a million such farms. The law was introduced and supported highly by reformer Horace Greeley, a founder of the Liberal Republican Party.
The movement of people into the Northwest, established the ordinance. This helped the problem of states claiming to much land because new states were coming into existence and joining the nation so there was less land to claim.

Smokers Get a Raw Deal by Stanley S. Scott addresses the issue of whether there is discrimination against smokers in the United States. Scott believes that there is negative discrimination in the U.S. that infringes the rights of the citizens. One can find that although the writer believes he presents a secure case, he fails to understand the definition of “discrimination.” In the article, Scott essentially asks the readers to heed the ways in which laws, especially antismoking laws, are established. This could have been a good argument were it not for the bombardment of fallacies and incidents taken out of context. He only presents one premise, that laws facilitate the segregation between smokers and nonsmokers, and consequently allow organized crimes harassing smokers to occur.
Providing the Confederacy with war supplies influenced Southern power, and their assertiveness towards the Union proved beneficial to international relations. The victory of the Union encouraged the forces in Britain that demanded more democracy and public contribution into the political system. Rather than an outbreak of war, relations between America and Britain were ultimately improved when the idea of widespread famine threatened England. The American Civil War proved difficult but eventually beneficial for Britain, giving them the opportunity to check their growth and rise to power. Keeping within British tradition and diplomacy, Britain never openly partnered with the South and their involvement in the war was to protect their own people, economy, actions and

Illegal immigrants become employed in “low skilled jobs” that no one else wants to work. These jobs can be from working in fast food to working on a farm.

If not why not? The incorporation of the Bill of rights is the process by which American courts have applied portions of the United States Bill of rights to the States ( American goverment and politics today page 114) The second amendment is not incorporated because of precedent; also commented upon the use of selective incorporation doctrine.

[1] "Piracy" The practice of labelling the infringement of exclusive rights in creative works as "piracy" predates statutory copyright law. Prior to the Statute of Anne in 1709, the Stationers' Company of London in 1557 received a Royal Charter giving the company a monopoly on publication and tasking it with enforcing the charter. Those who violated the charter were labelled pirates as early as 1603. [2] The term "piracy" has been used to refer to the unauthorized copying, distribution and selling of works in copyright. [3] Article 12 of the 1886 Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works uses the term "piracy" in relation to copyright infringement, stating "Pirated works may be seized on importation into those countries of the Union where the original work enjoys legal protection.
