A banana republic is a name for a Latin American nation (generally Central American or Carribean) that was under intense U.S. influence.  The term originally comes from Nicaragua when the United Fruit Company (now Chiquita Bananas) had their banana plantation seized by the Nicaraguan government, outraged by this seizure of their massive plantation the United Fruit Company lobbied to United States government to act; the United States government agreed to act for the United Fruit Company and landed Marines in Nicaragua forcing the government to return the land to the United Fruit Company and pay reparation to both the United Fruit Company and United States government,  In general, a banana republic was a nation under extreme U.S. influence that exported its natural resources, usually fruits, to the United States.  As a result, most of these nations became dependent on the United States for economic support and several dictators came to power during this period (notably in the Dominican Republic) with U.S. backing.  The period in which banana republics are said to have existed is generally the 1890's to the 1930's.  Corporations, such as the United Fruit Company, also exercised heavy influence on the governments of Latin America and the U.S. government as well.

Nikitich [7]

The mention of some rights in the constitution should not be understood to reject or degrade those held by the people. This assertion is correct.

The Rights Retained by the People helps us understand why and how this inequality in human rights protection has developed. It also provides a foundation for reforming constitutional interpretation and better protecting all human rights by emphasizing the Ninth Amendment to the Constitution.

The enumeration of some rights in the Constitution should not be understood to negate or degrade others possessed by people. It states that any rights not expressly granted by the Constitution belong to the people, not the government. In other words, people's rights are not confined to the rights enshrined in the Constitution.

Answer:

“For the next three hours, the men broke open 342 chests with hatchets and threw the tea into Boston Harbor. They worked hastily, fearing that British officials would attempt to stop them. Some colonists tried to stuff their pockets with the coveted tea. When caught, these few men were stripped of their coats, which were then thrown into the harbor. The men were kicked and struck as they ed through the crowd watching on the docks. When they were done, the Sons of Liberty members removed their shoes and shook them over the water to make sure they did not have any evidence on them when they left the ship. The colonists marched off the ship just as they had marched onto it, their “party” having ended.”
