According to the Declaration of Independence, signed in 1776, "[...] all men are created equal, [and] they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

They were still forced into slavery, they were deprived of those rights that all men were meant to have. While the north states opposed slavery, it was permitted in the south, and as the slavery issue raged on, one man would stand to fight for his freedom. His case, would go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court's decision would

For example, if a superordinate treats his/her subordinates poorly, it prompts the subordinates to retaliate with aggression – actions are the key illustrations to the process of Blau’s Exchange Theory. Therefore, counterparts prefer to maintain balance (Blau 1964: 117) in their social exchanges to avoid falling into another’s debt. In this case, they prefer a sense of a 1-1 exchange that is carried out among a status of equals repeatedly, to the extent that actors depend on each other for the fulfillment of rewards and develop a sense of trust and solidarity (Blau 1964: 122). However, it can be inferred that social order has a wide spectrum of forms (i.e. a relationship of equality or a relationship between superordinate and subordinate).

The break-even analysis helps us understand the minimum operating levels of the property before the bottomline is affected. The break-even occupancy is sustainable according to the estimated rates. Alison Green has the lowest break-even point at 64.84%. Ivy Terrace, the other apartment building, is 67.07%. Stony Walk and the Fowler Building, the two office complexes, are at 76% and 85.92%, respectively. This puts the highest risk of uncertainty and their effect on the returns to the office buildings. The cash flow projects for the 10 year holding period helps us understand the IRR and NPV of the project. When looking at the IRR we have to keep in mind that it assumes the cash flows will be re-invested at the IRR. Interest rates fluctuate over time, so this is an unrealistic assumption. Thus, the NPV analysis is the best projection for these properties. Page | 6

Starting in the 20th century, most have referred to the presidency as the modern presidency due to changes in both a president's power and the way that the office itself is viewed.
