History

The new Constitution was an improvement on the Articles of Confederation by providing a solid, universal government for the entire country. Improvements that the Constitution made allowed the Federalists to win out over the anti-Federalists because the reality of having a structured Federal government was essential to the success of the new country. In the Articles of Confederation, there existed a loose confederation of states. Only one vote was allowed for each state in Congress (one house) and a 2/3 vote was required to pass all important measures. The laws were executed by a committee of Congress, and more importantly, commerce and the power to levy taxes was under the control of Congress. The lack of federal courts and unanimity of all the states was required to amend. Under the Constitution, there was a system of checks and balances with a firm and strong central government. Congress was separated into two houses, the Senate and the House. Only a simple majority was required to pass laws. Composed of the dominate legislative branch, combined with the executive and judicial branches made the new Constitution a more realistic structure for government.

<span>Debate between the Federalists and the anti-Federalists centered on the new Constitution and its ratification. Those who favored the Constitution (Federalists including the founding fathers), were the more respectable people, settled down in the civilized urban areas of town. Conversely, the anti-Federalists were a motley crowd of illiterates who still believed in the revolutionary idea. They were under the impression that the upper crust of society was going to put one over on them and establish a situation not dissimilar from the colonial days. Their main argument was that the sovereignty of the states was at stake with the Constitution. Being trapped again was not a popular option. Hot debate would wage on forcing the decision onto the people, forcing them to make the decision of changing their revolutionary standards to those conducive of a successful nation.</span>

Why did the Mayans and Egyptians have a lot of similarities
masha68 [24]

The Egyptians and Mayans both used symbols to convey meaning in written language. However, the similarity pretty much stops there. This is remarkable, though, considering the fact that these cultures – millennia and worlds apart – developed similar writing systems.

The Egyptian hieroglyphics didn’t have punctuation and they were written in long lines of script. They were found on everything from paper, to stone, to jewelry. Reading the glyphs, you go from left to right. Egyptian glyphs are divided into phonograms - representing sounds and ideograms - representing ideas or objects.

The Mayans’ system used picture blocks to convey meaning. Their glyphs were mostly on stone. Reading the glyphs is very different from reading Egyptian glyphs. You go left to right and read a “pair” of glyphs and then go down to the next line and read the next pair. They form a sort of a zig-zag pattern. Thus, if reading, you would read block 1A, then block 1B. Then you go to the next line and read 2A, then block 2B. Mayan glyphs are divided into logograms to express meaning or syllabograms to represent sounds.

REPORT: SOCIALISM OR FREE ENTERPRISE
andriy [413]

It's clear that one of the systems does not work. Corruption and failure are not strangers to either system, but one of them has a higher success rate to prove its point.

The first argument is pretty simple. Socialism has never worked. From that view, it is pretty clear that empirical evidence suggests that socialism usually ends up turning into an oppressive pseudo capitalist corporatism, as it has happened in South America repeatedly, or it will become a dictatorship, as it has happened in South America, Africa and even to Russia and its neighbor countries.

Socialism, to work, has to have state force using firearms to impose their will upon the others. It smashes the will and freedom of minorities, and by minorities I mean anyone who disagrees with them, and forces them, with the raw and physical power of the State, to behave accordingly.

Capitalism, though, is all about competition and voluntarism when it is not infected with the corrupted politicians that ally themselves with big companies, making an ugly son that we call corporatism. But even when that is the case, people tend to have something to eat, that can't be said about current Venezuela and North Korea.
