History

Answer:

It functioned only as a court system, but now it is able to perform "Judicial review" (basically determining if a law is Constitutional or not)

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation originally left out the Judicial Branch. In the Constitution all that is stated is that "[t]he judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” It did not elaborate or establish an initial purpose for the branch, but instead left it all up to Congress. Later with the Judiciary Act the Supreme Court was established, which gave the Judiciary Branch the role of functioning as a court system. During the tenure of John Marshall, the Supreme Court expanded its purpose by declaring a state law unconstitutional in the "Fletcher v. Peck" case. This established the role of the Judicial Branch in Judicial review.

In at least 250 words, explain the difference in tone between The Declaration of Independence and The Bill of Rights.
ZanzabumX [31]

The Declaration of Independence was merely a document declaring just that, the colonies' independence from the British crown. It contained three parts. The first section, the Natural Rights Theory, which listed the ideas that all men are created equal and they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. The second section, Grievances against the King, which listed, quite extensively, the ways <em>King George III  </em>had misused his power and acted like a tyrant, such as imposing taxes and tariffs without consent, cutting off trade, and keeping a standing army against the colonies. The third section,  the Declaration of Independence from the British Empire, establishes the colonies to be in open rebellion and to be fully independent.

The Bill of Rights is the first 10 amendments from the Constitution of the United States of America. It lists the inalienable rights the framers of the Constitution believed the American people held. The Bill of Rights is a piece of legislature, it conveys the personal freedoms enjoyed by all Americans, such as the right to free speech, the right to petition the government, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to a fair and speedy trial, and right against unlawful search and seizure, to name a few. The Constitution can be altered, and has been, 27 times. The Declaration of Independence does not need to be amended, as it merely declared our independence from the British crown.

Although both extremely important documents for the American people and American history, the Constitution is apart of our everyday lives, whether we know it or not. The freedoms we experience in the United States is due to the Constitution's stipulations about such freedoms. The Declaration was, and still remains, just a declaration of independence.

notka56 [123]

The primary events which led to the outbreak of World War II in Europe were German aggressive expansionary policies in Eastern Europe, primarily the invasion of Poland, which triggered the outbreak. A secondary cause was the reluctance of other European powers to stop German aggression before it erupted into a full blown war.

German Chancellor Adolf Hitler frequently railed against the perceived unfairness of the Treaty of Versailles of 1919, and withdrew Germany from the
