If the U.S. constitution began as suggested by the cartoon what might the impact be on the Supreme Court?

History

The cartoon you are referring to shows three business men in front of the U.S. Founding Fathers. One of them, acting as a spokesperson, interpellates the writers of the Constitution by asking them to scratch the first words of the Constitution ("We, the people..") and replace them with the statement "We, the anonymous corporate donors, untraceable foreign contributors and assorted billionaires.." So, if the U.S. Constitution began as suggested by the cartoon, the Supreme Court would make decisions that favored corporations ("we, the anonymous corporate donors") over individuals ("we, the people"). Fortunately this is not the case, but, throughout its history, and depending upon the Chief Justice who has led it, the Supreme Court has sometimes been especially friendly to business.

Who were the earliest people to arrive in the British isles
scoundrel [369]

The British Isles have experienced a long history of migration from Europe. The ancient migrations have come via two routes: along the Atlantic coast and from Germany–Scandinavia. The first settlements came in the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods. The earliest evidence of human presence in Ireland is dated to 10,500 BC.[1][2][3]

Research into this prehistoric settlement is controversial, with differences of opinion in many academic disciplines. There have been disputes over the sizes of the migrations and whether they were peaceful. In the latter part of the second millennium, the finds of archaeology allowed a view of the settlement pattern to be inferred from changes in artefacts. Since the 1990s the use of DNA has allowed this view to be refined.

What was an effect of the rise of the middle class in the Sung period?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The Sung dynasty became more democratic than it was before as the Emperor had to pay more attention to the middle class and their demands rather than that of the higher class.

Many intelligent scholars, brilliant merchants, great artists, etc. emerged from the middle class.

The middle class became more dominant in cultural and political affairs.

The distribution of wealth and prosperity witnessed a balance as it began penetrating down to even the lowest strata of society.
