Why do some people prefer ratifying conventions, rather than state legislatures, for the ratification of amendments?

History

EleoNora [17]3 years ago

People believe that conventions created specifically for the ratification of amendments form better representations of the people's will. State legislatures can oftentimes be biased for or against a certain amendment for their own wellbeing rather than that of the people they represent.

One major historical example of this can be seen in the use of ratification committees for the ratification of the American Constitution; the Founding Fathers believed that certain state legislatures would not ratify the Constitution even if the citizens of the states wanted to, so special conventions were created to more accurately portray the will of the people.

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question:

Match the underlined word in each verse to its meaning in the context of the poem.

the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music

a silly or foolish person

meaning, weight, or significance

reward

a small stream

1. "In which the burthen of the mystery, / In which the heavy and the  weary weight of all this unintelligible world, / Is lightened:"  (from "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth)

2. "Faint I,nor mourn nor murmur, other gifts / Have followed; for such  loss, I would believe, / Abundant recompence"  (from "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth)

3. "Hold offl unhand me, grey-beard loon!"  (from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

4. "nor yet beside the rill, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he;"  (from "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray)

5. "Where was heard the mingled measure. From the fountain and the caves."  (from "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

Answer:

  1. burthen ------- meaning, weight, or significance
  2. recompence ------ reward
  3. loon -------- a silly or foolish person
  4. rill ------ a small stream
  5. measure ------ the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music

Explanation:

In the poem we can see that the poet is feeling overwhelmed with a weight, a burden. This burden is a mystery and as it is resolved and the poet feels comfortable talking about it, that weight is lightened.

When the author talks about recompenc, he is talking about a prize, something that will be given as a treat.

Loon refers to someone who is out of their mental normality, a person who shows signs of looseness and lack of control.

A rill is a small stream that does not present any major risks.

Measure is a type of measurement and can be related to many different systems, including a play, poetry and music.
