A female candidate (Sarah Palin) was running for vice president, but this was not the first time, for example Geraldine Ferraro run for vice president in 1984.

It was significant because It marks the first time a major political party has nominated an African American for its presidential candidate.  This candidate also later won and is today's president!

The ___ had a successful career against the British Navy.
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

USS Constitution

Explanation:

USS Constitution, also known as Old Ironsides, is a wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy. She is the world's oldest commissioned naval vessel still afloat.[Note 1] She was launched in 1797, one of six original frigates authorized for construction by the Naval Act of 1794 and the third constructed. The name "Constitution" was among ten names submitted to President George Washington by Secretary of War Timothy Pickering in March of 1795 for the frigates that were to be constructed.[10][11] Joshua Humphreys designed the frigates to be the young Navy's capital ships, and so Constitution and her sister ships were larger and more heavily armed and built than standard frigates of the period. She was built at Edmund Hartt's shipyard in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts. Her first duties were to provide protection for American merchant shipping during the Quasi-War with France and to defeat the Barbary pirates in the First Barbary War.

Constitution is most noted for her actions during the War of 1812 against the United Kingdom, when she captured numerous merchant ships and defeated five British warships: HMS Guerriere, Java, Pictou, Cyane, and Levant. The battle with Guerriere earned her the nickname "Old Ironsides" and public adoration that has repeatedly saved her from scrapping. She continued to serve as flagship in the Mediterranean and African squadrons, and she circled the world in the 1840s. During the American Civil War, she served as a training ship for the United States Naval Academy. She carried American artwork and industrial displays to the Paris Exposition of 1878.

Constitution was retired from active service in 1881 and served as a receiving ship until being designated a museum ship in 1907. In 1934, she completed a three-year, 90-port tour of the nation. She sailed under her own power for her 200th birthday in 1997, and again in August 2012 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of her victory over Guerriere.

Constitution's stated mission today is to promote understanding of the Navy's role in war and peace through educational outreach, historical demonstration, and active participation in public events as part of the Naval History & Heritage Command. As a fully commissioned Navy ship, her crew of 60 officers and sailors participate in ceremonies, educational programs, and special events while keeping her open to visitors year round and providing free tours. The officers and crew are all active-duty Navy personnel, and the assignment is considered to be special duty. She is usually berthed at Pier 1 of the former Charlestown Navy Yard at one end of Boston's Freedom Trail.

Identify and describe three codes of laws or other legal documents that have influenced modern democracy
balandron [24]

Magna Carta

Written in 1215, it is one of the most important documents in the development of democracy. It limited the power of the king of England and established the idea that people have rights.

The Great Binding Law

Written by the Iroquois, a Native American tribe, between 1300 and 1450, it said that all Iroquois could participate in government, that government existed to serve the people, not vice versa, and it created a legislative body similar to Congress with two separate groups just as Congress has the House of Representatives and the Senate.

The Mayflower Compact

Written in 1620 by the Pilgrims when they arrived off the coast of what is now Massachusetts. The Pilgrims were English citizens who left England because they were not free to practice their religion in England. They had planned to join up with some other English colonists in Virginia, but their ship was blown off course. They realized they needed to form their own government, so they wrote the Mayflower Compact in which they made their own laws. It is an early attempt at self-government.

The Fundamental Orders of Connecticut

Written in 1639, it created a civil charter, or written code of laws, for settlers in Connecticut. It never mentioned the king or any other government and extended voting rights to anyone who owned land. It may be the first constitution ever written that established a government.

The English Bill of Rights

Written in 1689, it stated that the monarch of England served at the will of Parliament. It helped make England a constitutional monarchy and strengthened the rights of the people. (Note that this is the English Bill of Rights and not the American Bill of Rights which are part of the U.S. Constitution.)

Virginia Declaration of Rights

Written in 1776, it outlined the rights of the people of Virginia and set out the plan for its government. Thomas Jefferson used many of these same ideas in the Declaration of Independence.

The Declaration of Independence

Written in 1776, mostly by Thomas Jefferson, it outlines the grievances (complaints) the American colonists had with the king of England and the English parliament, and put forth the idea that people had natural and legal rights.
