I think Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette should have been killed in the French Revolution. The royal couple had to move out of the castle because of a mob that marched Versailles. In August 1792 they were arrested by the sans-culottes. In September the monarchy was abolished by the national convention. In November evidence of Louis XVI counter revolutionary intrigues with Austria and other foreign nations. Marie Antoinette was later found guilty of treason and was put to death
False. If 2/3 of the states believe in an amendment, they can propose their idea.
Haudenosaunee Recognized by Congress - Resolution Acknowledges Contributions to the Constitution
Did you know that the foundation of the United States Constitution comes from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy?
H. Con. Res. 331 was passed in October 1988 to acknowledge the contribution of the Iroquois Confederacy of Nations to the development of the United States Constitution, and to reaffirm the continuing government-to-government relationship between Indian tribes and the United States established in the Constitution.
Congress, on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution, "acknowledged the historical debt which this Republic of the United States of America owes to the Iroquois Confederacy and other Indian Nations for their demonstration of enlightened, democratic principles of government and their example of a free association of independent Indian Nations."
Here is the wording of H. Con. Res. 331:
"To acknowledge the contribution of the Iroquois Confederacy of Nations to the development of the United States Constitution and to reaffirm the continuing government-to-government relationship between Indian tribes and the United States established in the Constitution.
Whereas, the original framers of the constitution, including most notably, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, are known to have greatly admired the concepts, principles and government practices of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy; and
Whereas, the Confederation of the original thirteen colonies into one Republic was explicitly modeled upon the Iroquois Confederacy as were many of the democratic principles which were incorporated into the Constitution itself; and,
Whereas, since the formation of the United States, the Congress has recognized the sovereign status of Indian Tribes, and has, through the exercise of powers reserved to the Federal Government in the Commerce Clause of the Constitution (art. I, s8, cl.3), dealt with Indian tribes on a government-to-government basis and has, through the Treaty Clause (art.II, s2, cl.2), entered into 370 treaties with Indian tribal nations; and,
Whereas from the first treaty entered into with an Indian nation, the treaty with the Delaware Indians of Sept. 17, 1778, and thereafter in every Indian Treaty until the cessation of treaty-making in 1871, the Congress has assumed a trust responsibility and obligation to Indian Tribes and their members to "exercise the utmost good faith in dealings with the Indians" as provided for the Northwest Ordinance of 1987 (I Stat.50); and
Whereas, Congress has consistently reaffirmed these fundamental policies over the past 200 years through legislation specifically designed to honor this special relationship; and,
Whereas, the judicial system of the United States has consistenly recognized and reaffirmed this special relationship;
Now, therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled, that:
1) The Congress, on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution, acknowledges the historical debt which this Republic of the United States of America owes to the Iroquois Confederacy and other Indian Nations for their demonstration of enlightened, democratic principles of government and their example of a free association of independent Indian Nations;
2) The Congress also hereby reaffirms the constitutionally recognized government-to-government relationship with Indian Tribes which has historically been the cornerstone of this nation's official Indian Policy;
3) The Congress specifically acknowledges and reaffirms the trust responsibility and obligation of the United States Government to Indian Tribes, including Alaska Natives, for their preservation, protection and enhancement, including the provision of health, education, social and economic assistance programs as necessary, to assist Tribes to perform their governmental responsibility to provide for the social and economic Well-being of their members and to preserve tribal cultrual identity and heritage; and
4) The Congress also acknowledges the need to exercise the utmost good faith in upholding its treaties with the various Tribes, as the Tribes understood them to be, and the duty of a great nation to uphold its legal and moral obligations for the benefit of all its citizens so that they and their posterity may also continue to enjoy the rights they have enshrined in the United States Constitution for time immemorial.
Well because Puritans were a group of people with religious moral beliefs this means they were very spiritual and religious, which reminds me of the word pure.
Because religious beliefs require you to have a pure, clean heart before God, this could remind you of the word puritans, pure-itans -- because Puritans were religious.
Also, puritans were a group of English Protestants, that can also help you! Protestants - puritans, both start with P and when you remember the word protestants you'll remember that they protested against the church of England under Queen Elizabeth to change and simply forms of worship because they knew it was not the way it should be.
Lastly, Puritans came right after the Pilgrims in the 1630s. Both these words start with P also and they will remind you that Puritans had a great influence in the world just like the Pilgrims. The puritans grew discontent with how the church of England had become (just like the pilgrims) and they wanted to change it. The Puritans brought a huge impact on the church of England with their Christian passion and beliefs. Both the Pilgrims and the Puritans sought to make a difference in the world in light of their faith and beliefs in God. They both brought a new religious freedom to the world by sharing their Christian faith to the world.
The pilgrims will help you remember who the puritans were :)
So, Ways to Remember
1. PURE-itans (they were members of a religious movement) remember the "pure" in puritans
2. Puritans were Protestants - both start with P (reminds you that they protested against the Church of England & the forms of worship practiced)
3. Puritans and the Pilgrims - (both start with p) remember they shared the same beliefs! and they both fought for their Christian faith and had a huge impact on the Christian church!
Hope this Helps!! Let me know if you have more questions :))
