On June 15, 1215, a disgruntled group of landed barons achieved a great if very short-lived victory over the reigning monarch of the time, King John.  That victory was the king’s consent to a document presented for his stamp that limited the monarch’s authorities vis-à-vis his subjects.  That document, the Magna Carta, was a detailed list of demands and principles that were intended to protect these elites from the tyranny of a king with unchecked powers.   This limitation on the taxation of the king’s subjects, and its prohibition on the enforced requisition of those subjects’ crops and other properties, remained a pillar of democratic thought for centuries to come, and was reissued several times over the ensuing years until it finally stuck.  Its influence on the British subjects residing in the Crown’s North American colonies who were contemplating the text of what would become the Constitution of the United States was considerable.  Those rebellious colonies were heavily influenced by the intellectual developments characteristic of the Age of Enlightenment, but central to those developments remained the principles established in the Magna Carta.  That this nation’s founders were similarly influenced by the 1215 document is evident in Alexander Hamilton’s essay defending the draft constitution and advocating for its ratification.  In that essay, designated Federalist Paper #84, Hamilton wrote the following:    “It has been several times truly remarked that bills of rights are, in their origin, stipulations between kings and their subjects, abridgements of prerogative in favor of privilege, reservations of rights not surrendered to the prince. Such was Magna Charta, obtained by the barons, sword in hand, from King John. Such were the subsequent confirmations of that charter by succeeding princes. Such was the Petition of Right assented to by Charles I., in the beginning of his reign. Such, also, was the Declaration of Right presented by the Lords and Commons to the Prince of Orange in 1688, and afterwards thrown into the form of an act of parliament called the Bill of Rights.”   In that passage, Hamilton recognizes the enduring influence of the Magna Carta, and of the document’s role in the evolution of political thought through the ensuing centuries.  The concept of limitations on the power of a ruler had sufficient appeal that it survived many monarchs’ efforts at resisting the relinquishment of authority the document stipulated.  The American Bill of Rights was a direct outgrowth of the evolution of political thought that didn’t begin with the Magna Carta, but for which the document represented perhaps its most important manifestation to date.

What did Russia do to stop people from leaving East Berlin?
Nikitich [7]
After World War 2 Germany was dived into half. The western half was under American control and the Eastern half was under Russian control. Berlin lay in the Western half and was divided between Russia and America, meaning that East Berlin was an island of Russian controlled Germany surrounded by areas under American control. Russia was a communist country and people from East Berlin tried to flee to West Berlin and so the Berlin Wall was built to stop this.Until the east Germans were rescued by pink Floyd!

Read the excerpt and answer the question.
Dima020 [189]
When new people come into town, there are bound to be those filled with curiosity to see who this new person is. There will be people who will want to accommodate the new person and guide them to places. But this does not mean that the new people who have come to our town can be rude and unmannerly. We have as much curiosity as you and when you come into our town we hope that we can be able to accommodate you and have opportunities to meet up. But because some people who come into our town forget about good manners and show great rudeness we cannot guide you , we cannot observe you even if we wish to. That is why we have to hide behind bushes where you are going to pass. And we are to never intrude ourselves into your company because we do not wish to be met with rudeness.

The idea I think Franklin is conveying in this excerpt is that when you go into a new place into someone else’s town. Do not forget your manners and do not be rude because if those in the town are met with your rudeness they may not want to accommodate you anymore.
