During the Vietnam War, roughly 2/3rd's of Americans enlisted in the military were voluntarily. The other 1/3rd was done through conscription (aka a military draft). These men were selected through the Selective Service System. Men aged 18-25 were put into a lottery type system in which men were randomly selected. From there, they would report to the local authorities who would help them get their affairs in order.

One of the biggest reasons why this draft upset Americans was because a majority of the individuals who were required to serve were from poor or lower class families. Individuals from wealthy backgrounds or who knew politicians were able to get exemptions from their service.

What’s the main idea to the Spanish mission system
stealth61 [152]

The Spanish mission was a frontier institution that sought to incorporate indigenous people into the Spanish colonial empire, its Catholic religion, and certain aspects of its Hispanic culture through the formal establishment or recognition of sedentary Indian communities entrusted to the tutelage of missionaries under the protection and control of the Spanish state. This joint institution of indigenous communities and the Spanish church and state was developed in response to the often very detrimental results of leaving . Hope it helps.

Is anyone good at Constitution Overview?
algol [13]
<span>

1) Article 2 deals with the executive branch of the federal government. This article enforces the federal laws and includes the President, the Vice President, and many other executive departments boards.
2)  You matched the section 17 wrong, as Constitution contains of the Preamble, The Articles and the Amendments. It is better to learn this structure by heart, otherwise you won’t be able to orientate in this subject.

3)  The number of president electors for each state is determined by how many members the state has in both Houses of Congress. There is a little hint for you, I mean the word ''both'' because The United States Congress is the bicameral legislature which means that this apparatus consists of two parts. Also, US Congress is called The Two Houses of the United States Congress, so this is definitely correct.

4) House of representative represents districts within the state. The district courts are established by Congress and their main function is to hear and consider  appeals that an come from state courts. Even though there was no constitutional deed of that district courts to exist, the district court system which was created by  the first Congress is still in place nowadays.

5) The Elastic clauses of Article 1, Section 8, Clause 18,allows Congress to stretch its powers in order to carry out laws that are “necessary and proper”. Elastic clauses are also known as The Necessary and Proper Clause or Sweeping Clauses. It embraces the power to pass all laws which considered to be essentially included to the list of US laws.

6) Senators represent the whole state. Their main function is to represent the people living in his or her state in the United States Senate. Senators also have many governmental duties such as passing laws, approves treaties with other countries and so on.  

7) Highest court in the land is a Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest court in the whole America. This court is the only one that was established by the United States Constitution, therefore every court of the United States must follow all the decisions of Supreme Court.


8) After the US District Courts are the US Court of Appeals. A court of appeals is meant to consider appeals which came from the district courts within its federal judicial circuit. Pay attention to the fact that The United States courts of appeals is one of most powerful and influential courts in the United States due to its capability of setting legal precedents.


9) Article 1, Section 8, Clause 18, which is also “<span>The Necessary and Proper Clause” is an example of implied power. These powers are not completely named in the Constitution but considered to exist due to their necessity to implement the represented powers which are statd in Article I.</span></span>
