Answer:

July 16, 1987, began with a light breeze, a cloudless sky, and a spirit of celebration. On that day, 200 senators and representatives boarded a special train for a journey to Philadelphia to celebrate a singular congressional anniversary.

Exactly 200 years earlier, the framers of the U.S. Constitution, meeting at Independence Hall, had reached a supremely important agreement. Their so-called Great Compromise (or Connecticut Compromise in honor of its architects, Connecticut delegates Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth) provided a dual system of congressional representation. In the House of Representatives each state would be assigned a number of seats in proportion to its population. In the Senate, all states would have the same number of seats. Today, we take this arrangement for granted; in the wilting-hot summer of 1787, it was a new idea.

In the weeks before July 16, 1787, the framers had made several important decisions about the Senate’s structure. They turned aside a proposal to have the House of Representatives elect senators from lists submitted by the individual state legislatures and agreed that those legislatures should elect their own senators.

By July 16, the convention had already set the minimum age for senators at 30 and the term length at six years, as opposed to 25 for House members, with two-year terms. James Madison explained that these distinctions, based on “the nature of the senatorial trust, which requires greater extent of information and stability of character,” would allow the Senate “to proceed with more coolness, with more system, and with more wisdom than the popular[ly elected] branch.”

The issue of representation, however, threatened to destroy the seven-week-old convention. Delegates from the large states believed that because their states contributed proportionally more to the nation’s financial and defensive resources, they should enjoy proportionally greater representation in the Senate as well as in the House. Small-state delegates demanded, with comparable intensity, that all states be equally represented in both houses. When Sherman proposed the compromise, Benjamin Franklin agreed that each state should have an equal vote in the Senate in all matters—except those involving money.

Over the Fourth of July holiday, delegates worked out a compromise plan that sidetracked Franklin’s proposal. On July 16, the convention adopted the Great Compromise by a heart-stopping margin of one vote. As the 1987 celebrants duly noted, without that vote, there would likely have been no Constitution.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The military dictatorship of Carlos Castillo Armas was installed, backed by the US Central Intelligence Agency, and was followed by a series of military dictators, and short after the Guatemalan Civil War began in 1960

Explanation:

The Guatemalan Revolution began in 1944, after overthrowing the military dictatorship of Jorge Ubico, and giving way to the country's first democratic election. But the US government didn't like the Guatemalan Revolution, as they saw the new democratic government as Communist, and in August 1953, US President Dwight Eisenhower authorized the CIA to perform operation PBSUCCESS, which trained and armed 480 men lead by Carlos Castillo Armas, who then invaded Guatemala on June 18 1954, and with the fear of a US invasion , the Guatemalan army refused to fight. This event strengthened a widespread anti-US sentiment in Latin America. This tense climate lead to the beginning of the Guatemalan Civil War in 1960, after a failed attempt to overthrow President Miguel Ydígoras Fuentes. The Civil War was fought between the Government of Guatemala and various leftist rebel groups supported by ethnic Maya indigenous groups and Ladino peasants. The first Guerrilla group was formed in 1962, the MR13 (Revolutionary movement November 13) which remained active until 1971. The Civil War ended on December 29, 1996, during the presidency of Alvaro Arzú, after the signing of a peace treaty between the Government of Guatemala, and the URNG (Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unity)
