1 I'm a normal high school kid—that is, I like listening to music. Until about a year ago, I always liked listening to it loud.

Loud enough that it filled up my head and pulsed through my body, so the boundary between me and the music disappeared. I've listened to countless hours of music—vibrant music pouring into my ears from headphones, washing over me from car speakers, or blasting at me from gigantic speakers at concerts.
2 But there's something about me that makes me not so normal. I have a hearing loss and a constant ringing in my ears that, unless some medical miracle happens, I'll suffer from these impairments forever. My ear problems are so severe that I feel I need to warn you: You have to protect your hearing as much as you can.

3 I'll tell you about my own experience, and I'll give you some scientific information.

4 I convinced my parents to get me a music device with headphones when I was eleven. When I was fifteen, I started going to concerts at indoor arenas and large amphitheaters. At the big concerts, you could always find me next to the speakers. A year later I was also going to all-ages shows at clubs—and you know where I'd park myself. After a concert or a club gig, I'd occasionally notice ringing in my ears afterward. But by the next day it would be gone. Yet that post-event ringing gradually got louder and louder, and it took longer and longer to disappear. Then one day last year I realized that the ringing was 24/7, except when I was asleep. I also had to face the fact that, more and more often, I was asking, “What did you say?” in conversations.

Explain how the texts portray the constitution differently. Use details from both texts to support your explanation..
Marizza181 [45]

I did this few minutes ago..

Answer/Explanation:

The 'Separate powers' and 'The Bad with the Good' portray the constitution differently by the first passage 'Separate Powers' explaining how we should understand the government works as well as why it work that way.  The second passage 'The Bad with the Good' explaining that constitutional system of separating government powers exist for good reason but it also comes with a cost. For instance, Base on the passage 'Separate Power' paragraph one it states that " The system of government the United States has is laid out in the Constitution is based on several values. In addition, Base on the passage 'The Bad with the Good' paragraph five it states that " The system must sacrifice one good thing in order to gain another; it trades away efficiency in order to get some protection from abuses. Thus, you can conclude the difference between  'Separate power' and 'The Bad with the Good' passage.
