Cote D Ivoire Influence On Human History

Description: August is Marlena’s husband and the head animal trainer. He is alternately charming and brutal, both to the humans and animals aboard the Benzini Brothers train. Later in the book, it is explained that he is a paranoid schizophrenic.

In “Shooting an Elephant,” Orwell retold an occasion where he was struggling to come to a final decision of whether to shoot the elephant or not. With his final decision, the elephant finally lay dying in front of thousands of people. He said that he was forced to shoot it because the Burmese people were expecting him to do that. In addition, he also explained that he had to do it “to avoid looking like a fool” in front of the crowd (14). At first glance, one would think that it makes sense for him to kill the elephant to save his face, but that was not the case. He effectively uses this incident to demonstrate the “real nature of imperialism” (3), whereas the elephant represents the British Empire.

According to Document E, all of the states decided to claim land as their own, but had no regard for other state lines, and boundaries overlapped. All of the states wanted more land than they had. This caused many disputes over land between the states. Once again the government was not able to much to settle these problems. Under the Articles of Confederation the United States central government was very weak. Congress and the Legislative Branch were the only powers of government. Congress did not have the power to actually unify the nation and create compromises, they had to ask for the states to create a settlement over the land boundaries. This did not do much, and the states did not give up these

By 1786 the states realized that they needed modifications to the Articles of Confederation, which they had been living under for the past eight years. Compromises needed to be made to appease the larger and smaller states as well as the North and South. The smaller states wanted equal representation in the national government and the South wanted slaves to count as both people and property to their benefit. The modifications also needed to address the divided authority between the national and state governments. The centralized government under the Articles of Confederation was too weak to enforce the laws it enacted and was not well respected on the world stage. The new federal government had distinct separate powers within itself. These branches, the legislative, judicial, and executive, were established in such a way to check and balance the power among them so no one component could be more powerful than another. The two main parties involved in developing the details of the new government were the Federalists and the Anti-federalists. They each represented different views on how the national government should be run and the

When the states were new, after the Revolutionary War ended, the framers created a document called the Articles of Confederation which turned out to be a complete failure. Since the Articles of Confederation didn’t work and had many flaws, the framers eventually created a stronger government. The new government would come to be very different from the Articles of Confederation.

Through the congress of confederation, the new National government was to be the everlasting unity between the states. The article of confederation ensured the need for national coordination on the war to independence since centralized political power had continuously raised danger to liberty. The article of confederation was rather a plan for a common government than a mutual defense treaty. States were represented by one house congress in the national government who were only allowed to cast a single vote and despite being part of the national government, States were still entitled to their sovereignty, freedom and independence.

Under the Articles of Confederation state sovereignty was different from the new constitution. States were superior under the Articles of Confederation. So since the state was superior, this resulted in a creation of a confederal form of government with a frail national government. On the other hand, under the new and current constitution we use today, the national government had become superior with the Supremacy Clause. The result to this was where both the states and national government shared power they had.

After the winning the American Independence against British the 13 colonies became states to work together, a league was made to work as a group to create a new system of government called “The Articles of Confederation” in which the the state government had mostly all of the power, the national government became weak due to this problem. Therefore, The Founding Fathers developed a new system to make the national government stronger that divided both governments to share their power. Federalists wanted a national government which included the same value of money for every state. They also wanted to have the power to declare war, raise and support military, admit new states, stablish post office and regulate interstate commerce. Moreover, the

It all started after the declaration of independence during the time America was busy fighting the revolutionary war when Congress realized that they needed to form a plan to move forward and unite the thirteen states as a nation. It was then when continental congress met up in Pennsylvania and created a secured a document known as the articles of confederation. The article of confederation was written on November 15, 1777, and ratified by all thirteen states on March 1, 1781. When the articles of confederation were written it had many goals in mind to set and preserve the country and its freedom keeping America and independent nation. Since the states were coming from Great Britain a country where they weren't represented by the British government

After the U.S. gained independence from G.B., they followed their first constitution. It was called the Articles of Confederation. Many people did not agree with the constitution. They did not like that every state was equal and got one vote. Northern states and Southern states had different human and geographic features. The Northern states had a larger population and so they did not like the rule that every state got one vote. Populated states wanted representation to be based upon population. However this lead to another debate on whether we should count slaves as part of a state’s population. Overall, states were fighting over who had power in the government.

It is crazy to hear that the top richest people in this world have the same wealth as the poorest 3 billion people in this world. Even though rich countries are giving aid to poor countries, the huge gap difference between their wealth is due to large corporations form rich countries taking more money from poor countries, and this really explains a lot why poor country never have the chance to actually thrive. The thought that poor people should be able to come up from where they came from, which is a thought in many people's minds, especially those who have money, isn't all that simple.

Under The Articles of Confederation, the American government was decentralized which proved to be a problem for the country as a whole. The Articles of Confederation stated that each state “retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence.” This document established the states as separate, and only united in a “friendship.”

Africa faced many serious negative consequences because of imperialism. The resolution of the All African People’s Conference held in Ghana in 1958 said, “...Whereas fundamental human rights… freedom to live a full and abundant life… are denied to Africans through the activities of the Imperialists,” (Document 3). This resolution said that human rights, which are rights entitled to all humans regardless of any difference, were taken away. Because of this, the Africans were made to feel inferior which is not healthy for people and can cause serious consequences like the Africans assimilating to the European culture instead of preserving their rich, diverse culture. Sekou Toure, an African nationalist, had similar ideas, he said, “Our continent possesses tremendous reserves of raw material… with its potential sources of power, give it excellent conditions for industrialization,” (Document 2). So as well as the Africans being stripped of their basic rights

American federalism has changed drastically since its genesis. In 1776 the thirteen colonies adopted the Articles of Confederation in order to coordinate their efforts in the war for independence. The Articles of Confederation bound the states together in two main aspects; foreign and military affairs. The Articles of Confederation worked well while all the states had a common cause. However, as soon as the war ended and interests began to change, it became obvious that the Articles were not enough. This brings on the creation of Federalism (Reinventing American Federalism).

The white rhinoceros and the Asian elephant possess many similar characteristics, including the way they look, yet also possess many differences such as the two continents they live on. There are five living species of rhino (black, white, Indian, Javan and Sumatran) and only two of the elephant (African and the Asian). All are in jeopardy of extinction with their slow rate of breeding, poaching and in the rhinoceroses, their territorial behavior.
