For the United States, it is not.

Article five of the United States Constitution.
"<span>The Congress, whenever </span>two thirds<span> of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose </span>Amendments<span> to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of </span>two thirds<span> of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of</span>three fourths<span> of the several States, or by Conventions in </span>three fourths<span> thereof, as the </span>one<span> or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year </span>One thousand eight hundred and eight<span> shall in any Manner affect the </span>first<span> and </span>fourth<span> Clauses in the </span>Ninth<span> Section of the </span>first<span> Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal </span>Suffrage<span> in the Senate."

This process has happened 26 times and once unconstitutionally (the 16th amendment) for a total of 27 amendments. 

To pass a law, there must be a 51% vote in both houses of Congress, and an approval by the president. Or Congress may override the veto by a two-thirds vote. This has been done well over 40,000 times in 2011 alone.

Ideological conflicts

Soviet Union already didn't like us before the end of the war

Further divided

-- Truman Doctrine: we help out non-comm. govts, even if they are led by dictators

-- Marshall Plan: rebuild Europe; further solidified divide

Events

Middle East

-- Soviets in N. Iran, withdrew

-- Soviets set up puppet comm. govts in Poland, Romania and Bulgaria

Military aid sent to combat comm.

We supported anyone who claimed to be non-communist and built up others

how did the cold war reshape ideas of american freedom?

Government agencies like the CIA secretly funded the arts. The Soviets did the same so the U.S. wanted to keep it quiet. This is an example of soft power.

The Fair Deal asked Congress to do New Deal-ish things like expand public housing, social security.

Southern Democrats want states' rights to keep certain people to stay suppressed.

do you agree or disagree with A.mitchel palmers efforts to prevent a radical evolution in the United States?
AveGali [126]
I disagree, honestly. I have looked up A.mitchell palmers and he was an aterney general. Radical evolution is a book based on humans with non-human abilities. It looks interesting but the man has nothing to do with Radical Evolution.
