J. Robert Oppenheimer helped to reshape our world with his many scientific achievements including his work on the Manhattan project along with his contributions to education. His work as leader of the Manhattan project helped to redefine warfare, and he is thought of as the founder of modern theoretical physics. Julius Robert Oppenheimer was born on April 22, 1904 in New York City (“J. Robert Oppenheimer” American History). His family was wealthy as his father, a German immigrant, was a successful textile importer, and his mother was a painter.
By the start of the modern period (say, a few centuries ago), the agricultural empires (such as the Caliphate or the areas corresponding to modern day China or India) had long been exceptionally prosperous, powerful, inventive, well organised and cultured. So why did the industrial revolution happen in Europe rather than China or India or any of the other great agricultural empires? Up until the eighteenth century Europe was on similar terms to the great Asian empires in terms of wealth and technological advancement, however at the end of the eighteenth century Europe started to experience an industrial revolution, which would continue throughout most of the follow century, this led to Western Europe becoming the most economically powerful region in the world. This great leap ahead of Asia by Europe is sometimes referred to as the great divergence, there have been ideas and theories as to why this divergence took place and why the industrial revolution took place in Europe and not Asia, but there is not a consensus among academics over what were the key causes. For many the main question is, more specifically, why did the industrial revolution not take place in China?
The President signed the commissions as required by law and the Secretary of State at the time affixed the Presidential seal as required by law. James Madison as current Secretary of State refused to deliver these signed commissions to Marbury and the other nominees. Statement of the Rule: A law in conflict with the Constitution is void and it is the duty of the Court to determine if such a conflict exists. Holding: Marbury is not entitled to a writ of mandamus from the Supreme Court requiring Madison to deliver the justice of the peace commission. Reasoning: The section of the Judiciary Act of 1792 (passed by Congress) relied on by Marbury which granted the Supreme Court the right to issue writs of mandamus to government officials was unconstitutional and therefore is void and of no effect.

Nate Obringer What was the Monroe Doctrine? The Monroe Doctrine was the declaration by President James Monroe, in December 1823, that the United States would not tolerate a European nation colonizing an independent nation in North or South America.

What principles of foreign policy did this doctrine establish? The U.S. foreign-policy statement first enunciated by President James Monroe on Dec. 2, 1823, declaring the Western Hemisphere off-limits to European colonization.
New York had enacted a statute, in effect during the relevant time period, which prohibited the distribution of contraceptives to anyone under the age of 16 and banned the advertising and display of contraceptives. PPA argued that the New York statute was unconstitutional as a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment right to privacy. Decision of the Court The Court held that the decision whether to beget or to bear a child is at the very heart of constitutionally protected choices. The fact that the constitutionally protected right of privacy extends to an individual’s liberty to make choices regarding contraceptives, however, did not in the Court’s view automatically invalidate every state regulation of contraceptives. The Court, in this case, ruled that the prohibition of distribution of contraceptives to persons under the age of 16 did not serve any compelling state interest and, therefore, ruled that the statute was unconstitutional.
Case Brief Marbury v. Madison, 1 Cranch (5U.S.) 137, 2 L.Ed.60 (1803) Court: United States Supreme Court Judicial History: William Marbury brought his suit to the U.S Supreme Court seeking a writ of mandamus from the court. Thus directing James Madison, the Secretary of State, to accept the remaining commissions signed by former president, John Adams. Mandamus was not requested by lower courts because the U.S Supreme court had the jurisdiction to bring forth such actions, under the Judicial Act of 1789. Hence the case was never reviewed by lower courts.

Because of the rising conflicts in Europe, the book was burned in Nazi Germany and banned by Spain’s leader, Francisco Franco, during the revolt. Munro Leaf was accused of writing the story with the intention to criticize the fascist revolt. This controversy sparked my interest to figure out why the book caused such a fuss. After all, it was just a children’s picture book, not some literary masterpiece or novel with a clearer message used to attack the views of the fascist movement. I soon remembered studying propaganda in history and how fascists often used it to target children because of how easy they were to
