What is a true statement about the us constitution?....well .... George Washington is not mentioned in the text of the US Constitution, however he was President of the Constitutional Convention, and a signatory to the document. George Washington became President of the United States by election a year after the constitution was ratified.
The oldest constitution still in use is the Constitution of San Marino established in 1600; nearly two centuries before the US constitution. and The US Constitution was inspired in part by the Magna Carta, but is very different in format and detail.
Thomas Jefferson was not a delegate to the Constitutional Convention which wrote the US Constitution; at the time he was the US Ambassador to France so had no part in writing that document..
It was the idea of wanting to have the individual states be more powerful than the federal government that guided the development of the articles of confederation, which is why they later proved to be inadequate and were replaced with the Constitution.
C. Andrew Johnson
Andrew Johnson was the seventeenth president of the US and followed Lincoln after his assassination. He was a Democrat and as vice president offered a good bridge to the South as the Civil War was ending but as president he was not trusted by the Republicans.
Andrew Johnson pardoned Confederate leaders, allowing them to keep their land and sometimes positions in society. He provided an easy path back into the Union and did not protect blacks from the growing power of groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Johnson vetoed a civil rights act that would have prevented segregation and violence against former slaves. His policies would convince Republicans that they would have to take Reconstruction over in Congress.
Capitalist economic systems are typically more productive in the amount of resources they develop.
In a socialist economy, the government controls the means of production. This means they would determine how many goods/resources are needed for their citizens. However, in a capitalist society, the amount of goods/resources produced is dependent on the wants of the consumer. This allows businesses to curtail their production to the needs of the citizens rather than the government.
