The Preamble of the United States Constitution

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America.

Adapted from Thoughts on Government (April 1776)

by John Adams

This excerpt is from a pamphlet written by John Adams in the form of a letter to a fellow statesman.



We should consider the purpose of government before we determine which is the best form. Upon this point all politicians will agree, that the happiness of society is the purpose of government. From this principle it will follow, that the form of government, which communicates ease, comfort, security, or in one word happiness to the greatest number of persons, and in the greatest degree, is the best.

The worth and stability of government in all its branches depend upon an upright and skillful administration of justice. The judicial power should be distinct from both the legislative and executive and independent from both so it may be a check upon both, as both should be checks upon that.

We are living at a time when the greatest law-givers of antiquity would have wished to live. How few of the human race have ever enjoyed an opportunity of making a government for themselves or their children.

Excerpt of a Letter from Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, December 20, 1787
In October of 1787, James Madison sent a copy of the signed Constitution to Thomas Jefferson in Paris where
he was serving as the Ambassador to the Court of Louis XVI. This is an excerpt of Jefferson’s response to Madison.

I will now add what I do not like.... First the omission of a bill of rights providing clearly and without the aid of sophisms for freedom of religion, freedom of the press, protection against standing armies...

Let me add that a bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference...

sophism: an argument that is correct in form but is used to deceive

What kind of war was it? (Show evidence.)
Conditions/hardships of the war
Causes of the Civil War
Effects of the Civil War
Women's role in the war

Answers

Answer:

The Civil War was a war between states. It lasted four years (1861-1865). The Civil War was fought in Southern Pennsylvania, but most of it took place in Virginia and Tennessee. Of course the Civil War wasn't easy. Soldiers had to deal with bad weather, hunger, and let's not forget to mention that a lot of them died in this war. One of the main reasons the Civil War happened was the issue with slavery. The Southern states wanted to get rid of any laws that would ruin the South being able to keep slaves and take them where ever they wanted. South wanted to take slavery over to the Western territories, but North wanted to stay free of slaves and continue on with white labor. So when Abraham Lincoln was elected without not one single vote from the Southern electoral vote, this made them feel left out of the political system, which turned into the Civil War. Though many people lost their lives, the United States ended up beating the Confederate States. Which led to the freedom of millions of enslaved Americans. During the Civil War women had a huge role on and off the battlefield. Women helped the soldiers, they provided medical care and some women even were brave enough to work as spies, and even bigger surprise some women were even soldiers helping fight in the Civil War. The Civil War was a BIG thing to happen in today's history, knowing that so many people put their lives on the line to make sure that all people were free and treated the same. It makes you wonder, what if these brave men AND women never stepped up and decided it was time for a change? What would life be like today?

What event in Genghis Khan's childhood shaped his ruthless behavior?​

Answers

Answer:

Genghis Khan was a fierce warrior and a wise leader.

Explanation:

Becoming a warrior taught him to be strong which shaped his ruthless behavior

He wed outside his own tribe and had four kids with a woman named Börte because he was determined to bring the nomadic tribes of the Mongolian steppe together.

How was the early life of Genghis Khan?

His upbringing was not easy. Genghis had to deal with the ugliness of life on the Mongolian Steppe from a young age. When he was just nine years old, his father was poisoned by rival Tatars. Subsequently, his tribe banished his family and forced his mother to raise her seven children by herself.

Who was the mother of Genghis Khan?

His father had abducted his mother and made her enter into an arranged marriage. Life for the Temujin at that time was violent and unpredictable, with hundreds of nomadic tribes continuously battling and stealing from one another on the central Asian steppe. His father was killed by poisoning by a rival clan before he turned ten.
