There are generally four ways in which an amendment can be proposed and ratified. These are:
1. The Senate and House of Representatives propose an amendment with a 2/3 vote and 3/4 of the state legislature's approval.
2. The Senate and House of Representatives propose an amendment with a 2/3 vote, and 3/4 of the states ratify the amendment through ratifying conventions.
3. 2/3 of the state legislatures ask Congress to hold a constitutional convention, and 3/4 of the state legislatures ratify the amendment.
4. 2/3 of the state legislatures ask Congress to hold a constitutional convention, and 3/4 of the states approve the amendment through ratifying conventions.
The amendment process reflects the idea of democracy through the election, whereby the decision is taken from the majority votes.
Also, it involves the active participation of the people's representatives who votes to determine which amendment to ratify or not.
Multiple factors were involved in the decision of exploration of Mars.
Mars is similar to Earth in size and it is the next planet. Moreover, evidence was present to suggest that liquid water existed, and may possibly still exist, on Mars. All of these factors led to the planet's exploration.
Answer:
September 11 signaled the end of the age of geopolitics and the advent of a new age—the era of global politics. The challenge U.S. policymakers face today is to recognize that fundamental change in world politics and to use America’s unrivaled military, economic, and political power to fashion an international environment conducive to its interests and values.
For much of the 20th century, geopolitics drove American foreign policy. Successive presidents sought to prevent any single country from dominating the centers of strategic power in Europe and Asia. To that end the United States fought two world wars and carried on its four-decade-long Cold War with the Soviet Union. The collapse of the Soviet empire ended the last serious challenge for territorial dominion over Eurasia. The primary goal of American foreign policy was achieved.
During the 1990s, American foreign policy focused on consolidating its success. Together with its European allies, the United States set out to create, for the first time in history, a peaceful, undivided, and democratic Europe. That effort is now all but complete. The European Union—which will encompass most of Europe with the expected accession of 10 new members in 2004—has become the focal point for European policy on a wide range of issues. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has evolved from a collective defense alliance into Europe’s main security institution. A new relationship with Russia is being forged.
Progress has been slower, though still significant, in Asia. U.S. relations with its two key regional partners, Japan and South Korea, remain the foundation of regional stability. Democracy is taking root in South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Taiwan. U.S. engagement with China is slowly tying an economically surging Beijing into the global economy.
