The Bill of Rights After the Revolution, the States adopted their own constitutions, many of which contained a Bill of Rights. The Americans still faced the challenge of creating a central government for their new nation. In 1777 the Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, which were ratified in 1781. Under the Articles, the states retained their “sovereignty, freedom and independence,” while the national government was kept weak and inferior. Over the next few years it became evident that the system of government that had been chosen was not strong enough to completely settle and defend the frontier, regulating trade, currency and commerce, and organizing thirteen states into one union. So in the summer of 1787 delegates from the twelve states convened in Philadelphia to draft a new Constitution. They proposed a strong national government that would assume many of the powers previously imposed upon the states. (1) “No sooner than had the Continental Congress laid the proposed Constitution before the people for ratification, ” Irving Brant writes, “than a cry went up: it contained no Bill of Rights.”(2) People objected because the liberties they had fought for in the Revolution were not being protected by the Constitution, and then could be ignored by the federal government. The Anti-Federalist called for another convention to outline a Bill of Rights before the Constitution was approved. The Federalist, fearing that the progress would unravel completely, urged immediate ratification. With the understanding of a Bill of Rights to follow later. Eventually the Federalist prevailed. By 1788, eleven states had ratified the Constitution. Six states, however, sent Congress proposals for amendments, modeled on their state constitutions and designed to protect individual rights. James Madison realized that the public desire for a Bill of Rights could not be ignored. In 1789, after reviewing the state proposed amendments and the state Bill of Rights to be considered by Congress, he proposed nine amendments to be considered by Congress for insertion into the text of the Constitution. After deliberation, debate, and some alterations, the House and Senate voted to add the amendments on the end of the Constitution and sent twelve amendments to the states for ratification. Only ten of theses were ratified and from those are what we kno... ... middle of paper ... ...l want to be protected and assured of our freedoms and rights and don’t like it when those rights are threatened. The initial Constitution and Bill of Rights wasn’t written to include everyone in the rights and freedoms of citizens. And it was seen then that our needs as a nation would change and these documents would need to be able to expand and grow with the country. The Bill of Rights has been one of the corner stones that we as Americans have enjoyed and taken for granted for the many years since its creation. The rights granted to us in the Bill of rights are the same right many people of the world are still fighting for even to the very day. We as Americans have become so accustom to having these rights we often take these rights for granted. There is no way of denying it’s historical significance, if you just stop and try and imagine your life without your freedoms and rights. These freedoms are what makes this country what it is and it also allows the people within the United States to enjoy the freedom dreamed about by the founders of this country as well. But as a country of whole, we take our rights and freedoms that our ancestors fought for, for granted.
In the summer of 1787, delegates from the 13 states convened in Philadelphia and drafted a remarkable blueprint for self-government, the Constitution of the United States. The first draft set up a system of checks and balances that included a strong executive branch, a representative legislature and a federal judiciary. The Constitution was remarkable, but deeply flawed. For one thing, it did not include a specific declaration, or bill, of individual rights. It specified what the government could do but did not say what it could not do. For another, it did not apply to everyone. The "consent of the governed" meant propertied white men only. The Bill of Rights did not come from a desire to protect the liberties won in the American Revolution, but rather from a fear of the powers of the new federal government.
In The Taming of the Shrew one of my favorite characters was Katharina daughter’s of Baptista a wealthy merchant. I personally choose her as my special character because Katharina Minola is a blazing, spirited woman, and as such the male dominated world around her does not quite know what how to deal with her.
In 1791, the Bill of Rights, consisting of 10 amendments, was ratified into the constitution. The document’s purpose was to spell out the liberties of the people that the government could not infringe upon. Considered necessary by many at the time of its development, the Bill of Rights became the cause for a huge debate between two different factions: The Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. The Federalists were those who thought that there should be a new Union created with a strong centralized government and individual regional governments. They felt that it was not necessary for there to be a bill of rights because it was implied that those rights the Constitution did not specifically state would be handed down to the states. On the other hand, the Anti-Federalists were opposed to such a form of government on the grounds that the Constitution, in which it was outlined, lacked clarity in the protections of the individuals. The Anti-Federalists—whose memory of British oppression was still fresh in their minds—wanted certain rights and guarantees that were to be apart of the constitution (Glasser 1991). A clear demonstration of the Anti-Federalist attitude was performed by Samuel Bryan, who published a series of essays named the ‘Cenitnal Essays,’ which “assailed the sweeping power of the central government, the usurpation of state sovereignty, and the absence of a bill of rights guaranteeing individual liberties such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion (Bran 1986).” Of course, the freedoms stated above are a portion and not the whole of The Bill of Rights. Ultimately, The Bill of Rights was adopted to appease the Anti-Federalists, whose support was necessary to ratify the constitution, and who believed that without the liberties granted therein, the new constitution—that they thought was vague and granted too much power to the central government—would give way to an elite tyrannical government.
How would you describe the average library setting? Libraries are usually serene and quiet. They are orderly places where you can rent books, relax and read, type an essay, or study for a test. The norm or expected behavior in a library is a behavior that is respectful, quiet, and serious. Generally, you keep to yourself. One does not visit the local library to catch up with an old friend or goof around. For this assignment I chose to violate the library norm. I chose to do so in a subtle manner to avoid making a big scene or getting kicked out. By violating the norm, I displayed deviant behavior. This is any behavior that violates the norms that apply in a given situation. I portrayed someone who might be referred to as a “creeper” or stalker. The role I played involved a few variations of the same general idea. My actions always involved staring. The purpose of my experiment was to elicit a response from each of my targeted subjects.

In LDRs, relational dialectics contribute to the future or demise of an existing or developing relationship. To some, the benefit of living apart from their partner allows the individual to establish autonomy within the relationship while allowing a connection to their partner through communication. However, additional effort may be required to guarantee assurances to the partner who desires more security and closeness. Moreover, couples in LDRs have the freedom to attain privacy while also providing open communication when required by the situation. Therefore, it is pertinent to identify these trends in relational dialectics through four studies examining LDRs.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, previously unchallenged American industries lost substantial market share in both US and world markets. To regain the competitive edge, companies began to adopt productivity improvement programs which had proven themselves particularly successful in Japan. One of these improvement programs was the total quality management (TQM) (Kaynak, 2003).
When asked about the benefits of long distance relationships, the participants described that long distance relationships allowed for the development of autonomy and individualism in the relationship. Partners in long distance relationships do not take their partners for granted, and develop stronger connections through non physical communications. Comparatively, individuals in face to face relationships are more likely to discuss their futures, which is an important step in any relationship. Those in long distance relationships reportedly established higher levels of trust and patience. This led to couples learning more about themselves through open trust, as well as relationships feeling more secure. Ultimately, most participants determined that they would choose to be in long distance relationships again (Mietzner & Li-Wen, 2005). Long distance relationships are only this successful when the couple has reached an understanding on how to most effectively communicate. While all of these couples seem to have reached this level, many long distance relationships have failed when these skills are lacking. The features of Tandem are distinctively designed in order to make this communication skill exponentially easier to
During recent times long-distance relationships have become a very common phenomenon. Although the methods of communicating has become less costly and easier, missing each other quite often is still an unavoidable fact. Starting a long-distance romantic relationship may not be difficult, but sustaining it is a completely different story. How is it possible to keep the relationship sound when both of you are separate from each other for such a considerable period of time? These ten tips which are mentioned below will help you.

The efforts to sustain a satisfying relationship has to do entirely of relational maintenance behaviors (Billedo, Kerkhof, & Finkenauer 2015). However, since a long distance relationship cannot use traditional expressions of relational maintenance behaviors, they must use media to satisfy the relationship, such as simple messages or status updates (Billedo, Kerkhof, & Finkenauer 2015). The satisfaction of the relationship is also traced to the physical distance separating the couple, in addition to, the amount of time spent apart (Maguire & Kinney 2010). Satisfaction, typically, increases during the reunion of the couple and lowers again when the couple is apart (Maguire & Kinney
With planes, trains, internet, and mobile devices, it seems easy to maintain a long distance relationship (Merolla 2012). Some scholars claim that geographic distance poses a challenge for relationship maintenance, while others argue that a long distance romantic relationship is not problematic (Maguire & Kinney 2010; Merolla 2012). Continuing, stress between the couple, as well as, individually is said to arise when a couple is in a long distance relationship due to social, economic, and personal difficulties (Maguire 2007). Also, there is a distinct pattern of problems interpersonally, with self-concept, and with sociability; this is seen throughout intensive studies of long distance relationships and their complications (Pistole, Roberts, & Mosko
In most relationships, people meet through school, work, or they could even live by each other, but regardless, their significant other is usually somebody they are used to seeing on a daily basis. However, every once in a while some couples meet over the internet, at a church camp, or maybe even through a few friends and the distance doesn’t keep their growing passion for each other apart. Distance can come in many forms depending on the couple’s situation. For example, Jeremy and Kami are just your average high school couple even though they don’t attend the same school. They actually live 2 hours away from each other and maybe only get to meet up once a month. Now, on the other hand, we have John
Total quality management is a transformation in the way an organization manages (Caudron, 1993). It is a mindset and a set of procedures that have been developed to enhance the quality of an organizations goods and services and the efficiency with which they are produced (George and Jones, 2012). Total quality management involves focusing management’s strategies on the continuous improvement of all operations, functions, and above all processes of work. Quality is basically meeting the needs of the customers. To do this, management must improve work processes, because the result of these work processes is what the customer cares about (Caudron, 1993). Total quality management has several goals that organizations can achieve. One is to
