4 0

Mayans had many breakthroughs in astronomy and mathematics. Priest studied the sky with observatories. They were able to track the movement of stars and planets with great accuracy. The Mayans used their observations to calculate the solar year. The Mayan figure for their year of 365.2420 days is amazingly precise.These calculations allowed the Mayas to create their solar calendar of 365  days. They also had a sacred 260-day calendar. Every 52 years, the first date in  both calendars fell on the same day. This gave the Mayas a longer unit of time that they called a Calendar Round. For the  ancient Mayas, this 52-year period was something like what a century is to us. The Mayas also recognized the need for zero.

One of the Aztecs’ most  remarkable technological achievements was the construction of their island city Tenochticlan. the aztecs enlarge the area of the city by creating artificial islands called chinampas. Today many people visit those chinampas and their flowers vendors. The aztecs adapted the Mayan solar and sacred calendars. The calendar was useful for farming , since it tracked the seasons. One of the most famous Aztec artifacts is a calendar called the Sun Stone. Dedicated to the god of the sun, this  beautifully carved stone is nearly twelve feet wide and weighs almost twenty-five tons. The center shows the face of the  sun god.

Evaluate What are the constitutional provisions distinguishing among citizens by birth, naturalized establishing citizenship? De
noname [10]

In America, in order to become a citizen, the person has to either be born or naturalized in the country of the United States. A non-citizen; however, is anyone from a different country that does not owe allegiance to the U.S.

There are two ways by which a person can become a U.S citizen by birth: Jus Solis and Jus Sanguinis. Jus Solis is when a person has the right to citizenship for being born in the State or territories. Jus Sanguinis is the right to citizenship when the person has at least one American parent.

Naturalization is the legal process by which non-natives become American citizens. A person who is not a citizen, but wants to become one, has to meet the requirements and go through the U.S naturalization process.
