Answer and Explanation:
Background info: When John Adams was defeated by Thomas Jeffersoon in the presidential election, he appointed some allies to senior government posts, such as federal judges. He believed that this way it would be better to maintain some political control in the country. However, after his departure, a law was passed that would allow the number of judges to be reduced. In this scenario, Thomas Jefferson can name new judges and prevent the ones chosen by Adams from being kept. This sparked a discussion about the validity of the law, creating the Marbury v Madison case.
Decision: Foi decidido que os Juízes nomeados por Jefferson deveriam receber seus diplomas e continuar no cargo, sendo que qualquer lei que impedisse isso seria uma lei inconstitucional e portanto, nula.
Why it matters: This case is extremely important for the establishment of the policy we know today. This is because it was through him that the constitutional control exercised by the Judiciary Power was created.
The Boston Massacre was a street fight that occurred on March 5, 1770, between a "patriot" mob, throwing snowballs, stones, and sticks, and a squad of British soldiers. Several colonists were killed and this led to a campaign by speech-writers to rouse the ire of the citizenry.
The presence of British troops in the city of Boston was increasingly unwelcome. The riot began when about 50 citizens attacked a British sentinel. A British officer, Captain Thomas Preston, called in additional soldiers, and these too were attacked, so the soldiers fired into the mob, killing 3 on the spot (a black sailor named Crispus Attucks, ropemaker Samuel Gray, and a mariner named James Caldwell), and wounding 8 others, two of whom died later (Samuel Maverick and Patrick Carr)
Religious and Economics. They wanted to grow Catholicism and have a business advantage over Portugal.
Answer:
A lot of things that happen during geologic processes, such as the cooling and crystallizing of a magma, the erosion of landmasses, the transport of sediment by rivers, the filling up of ocean basins, all these processes can be observed in action in nature or in laboratory analogues (melting and crystallizing of rock in the lab, crystallization of salt from solution, weathering of building stones, floods of rivers, erosion of river banks, the filling in of embayments on the Mississippi delta within some decades). We are reasonably adept at manipulating the physical world in terms of spatial relationships and physical parameters (temperature, pressure), but one dimension of the physical world has so far escaped our manipulative powers TIME . Nonetheless, the writers of science fiction novels routinely use time travel to get themselves and their heroes/heroines out of trouble.
