Slaughtehouse-Five has a very peculiar structure. Vonnegut's idea of time is reflected in it, it's not linear. As a result, there are a lot of contrasting images. An example of this is the contrast between the following Paradisiac image:
<em>Under morphine, Billy had a dream of giraffes in a garden. The giraffes were following gravel paths (...) Billy was a giraffe, too (...) The giraffes accepted Billy as one of their own, as a harmless creature as preposterously specialized as themselves. Two approached him from opposite sides, leaned against him. They had long, muscular upper lips which they could shape like the bells of bugles. They kissed him with these. They were female giraffes-cream and lemon yellow. </em>
With an quite calamitous image not too far from that part of the book:
<em>Rosewater was twice as smart as Billy, but he and Billy were dealing with similar crises in similar ways. They had both found life meaningless, partly because of what they had seen in war. Rosewater, for instance, had shot a fourteen-year-old fireman, mistaking him for a German soldier (...) And Billy had seen the greatest massacre in European history, which was the firebombing of Dresden. </em>
Answer:
The Constitution says federal laws are "the supreme law of the land," so the federal government could just take complete control. Nothing in the Constitution says the federal government has power to limit peoples' freedoms in the first place. ... People won't know their leaders and will lose control over the government
There were two main compromises made at the Constitutional Convention; the Great Compromise, and the 3/5ths compromise.
The “Great Compromise,” was: the small states got equal representation (two Senators from each state) in the Senate, and the large states got proportional representation based on population in the House.
The 3/5ths compromise was when the North, who didn't have slaves, wanted slaves to not be represented when deciding the amount of representation in Congress, while the South, in order to gain more representation, wanted all slaves to be counted. So, the 3/5ths compromise was born. The 3/5ths compromise was that all slaves would be counted as 3/5ths of a person. So, not a whole person, but sill counted somewhat.
The rail line crossed long-established Native American trails and disturbed buffalo-hunting grounds.
Answer:
Lots of people would not have the care they need for illnesses and diseases. A Republican president would have appointed conservatives to the Supreme Court. Roe vs Wade would be overturned by now. Voting rights would have been taken out from minorities. A large amount of veterans would still be fighting in Iraq.
The keystone would be working. Clean air would be harder to be sure of because major corporations would have few watchdogs. No "equal rights or pay for Women" law would have been signed. Industrial accidents would be no big deal. Corporations would pay a big amount and that would probably be all.
