Answer:

Explanation:

Apparently aimed at visiting American comedian Bob Hope, a time bomb set by Viet Cong terrorists exploded at Brinks, a U.S. Army officers club in Saigon, killing two Americans and wounding 50 others.Three years later, a captured memorandum was located that had criticized the terrorists for the fact that "The bomb exploded 10 minutes before the set time. Shortly after the explosion the cars of the Bob Hope entertainment group arrived. If the bomb exploded at the scheduled time, it might have killed an additional number of guests who came to see the entertainment."

Hope was making his first Christmas visit to South Vietnam, and he and his 60-member troupe entertained 1,200 servicemen at the Bien Hoa Air Base. He opened by joking, "Hello, advisers. Here I am in Bien Hoa... which is Vietnamese for 'Duck!!'". Referring to his surroundings as "Sniper Valley", he said, "As I flew in today, they gave us a 21-gun salute... Three of them were ours."

Unemployed electronics engineer Tom Osborne completed the prototype of the first desktop electronic calculator after more than a year of work at his home workshop, then spent another six months trying to find a buyer for his "Green Machine" (so called because he constructed the prototype casing from balsa wood painted green). After more than 30 rejections, he was able to sell the invention to the Hewlett-Packard company in Palo Alto, California.

What is the most likely reason the Florida Declaration of Rights has twenty-seven sections, while the Bill of Rights
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The Florida Declaration of Rights is more up-to-date than the US Constitution, so it includes more.

Explanation:

The Constitution is a formally written document that contains the set of laws and principles that we live by in the United States of America. Thus, it guarantees certain rights to the federal government and the states such as right to taxation, regulate interstate commerce, declare war, borrow money, provide for the military forces, etc.

Basically, the Constitution accords powers to the national or federal government and these includes; enumerated or delegated, reflected, and concurrent powers.

The Florida constitution is simply referred to as a fundamental legal document that governs the state of Florida, United States of America. It comprises twelve (12) Articles and establishes power, duties, structure, basic laws and fundamental functions of the government of Florida.

On the 5th of November, 1965, the current (sixth) constitution of Florida was adopted and it has been amended 144 times by its government.

The Declaration of Rights, which is quite similar to the U.S Bill of Rights forms the beginning of the constitution of Florida while having twenty-seven (27) sections.

The most likely reason the Florida Declaration of Rights has twenty-seven (27) sections, while the Bill of Rights has only ten amendments is because the Florida Declaration of Rights is more up-to-date than the US Constitution, so it includes more.

The U.S Bill of Rights was proposed by the U.S Congress on the 25th of September, 1789 and was eventually ratified on the 15th of December, 1791 by three-fourths of the legislature to become part of the Constitution of the United States of America.

The U.S Bill of Rights was inspired by the English Bill of Rights (1689) and it is also known as the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America.
