I believe it was the division of Byzantium and the Latin West. Byzantium was the emperor of Constantinople the area around Greece and Turkey and North into Russia. Latin West was under the control of different people until dominance of the Franks in the region. Another powerful and well noted authority was the Pope. Basically...there was a the decline of Rome and different views on the Christian doctrine. (Q_Q ) That's the best way I can word it.
1899, the United States declared the Open Door Policy. The Americans worried that other nations would soon divide China into formal colonies and shut out the American traders. They proposed that China's doors be open to merchants of all nations.
The amendment was ratified in 1865.
The Constitution enumerates certain powers which are reserved to the federal goverment and other powers which are delegated to the state.
Those powers which are not explicitly related in the document to any of the goverment levels will automatically be reserved to and exercised by the supreme federal goverment.
C I think. Was there a passage to read?
