The two major Supreme Court Cases were Plessy vs. Fergussion and Brown vs. Board of Education. Each are extremely important cases not only to African Americanś but United States citizens as a whole because it affected everyone. Plessy vs. Fergussion was a case that later would be overruled with another case but the final rulling of this specific case was that Äfrican Americans were ¨segregated but equal¨. Also, Brown vs. Board of Education over rulled the previous rulling and allowed students who were black to attend school and not be segregated. Overall, the rulling are important to the Fourteenth Amendment because they both dealt with equal rights for minorities.
Local governments are governmental jurisdictions below the level of the state, while the federal government is the national government.
Police departments, libraries, and schools usually fall under the oversight of state and local governments and each state has its own. However, one way local governments are similar to federal governments is that both of them are divided into three branches. The three branches are: executive, legislative and judicial.
I'm going to say TRUE ... although it would help to have more specific context on the span of history your question covers when it says, "historically speaking." And by "US army casualties," I wonder if the question means only the Army and not Navy, Air Force or other branches of service.
Let's look at the overall picture. As reported by the New York Times in 2003, upt that point in the history of the US at war, over 650,000 Americans were killed in combat. Another 243,000 died during the time that wars were being fought, but from training accidents, injury or disease.
The accident rate of deaths for US military personnel seems overall higher in recent years. As reported by the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, from 2004 to 2007, deaths caused by war-related injuries accounted for 40% of all deaths of military personnel. Traffic accidents, other accidents, and suicide accounted for the other deaths. (Suicides accounted for 20% of military personnel during that period of statistical measurement.)
1) Steam provides a continues smooth motion that is difficult to create with water power due to the natural rising, falling, and movement of a river or stream.
2) Steam engines need steam to run, but they do not rely on a stationary water source, so they can be put almost anywhere.
3) Steam engines are more powerful, able to do more in less time.
I hope that helps!
