In 1954, the government of Bolivia began taking land from Francisco Loza for public projects, including an international airport

. The government directed the payment of compensation in exchange for at least some of his land, but the government never paid the full amount. Decades later, his heirs, Genoveva and Marcel Loza, who were both U.S. citizens, filed a suit in a federal district court in the United States against the government of Bolivia, seeking damages for the taking. Can the court exercise jurisdiction?

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

U.S Federal Courts have limited jurisdiction. In other words, their jurisdiction is limited to the kind of cases listed in the U.S Constitution and particularly provided for by Congress. Therefore, they mostly hear cases in which the United States is a party, cases that involve violations of the U.S. Constitution or federal laws, cases between citizens of different states, as well as bankruptcy, copyright, patent, and maritime law cases. As a consequence of this, federal courts cannot exercise jurisdiction as regards matters related to the Bolivian government.

Maps were used for military and political purposes and show how China viewed itself in relation to the rest of the world. In China ownership of a map indicated sovereignty over the land it depicted.

Understanding the interaction between a natural environment and various human and cultural patterns is an essential aspect of geography. To fully appreciate China's broad geographic and cultural diversity, one needs to identify general characteristics that act as guidelines. The technical term used to describe distinctive areas is "homogeneous regions." Today "fingerprint" carries the same idea, namely some thing or place that is distinctive. Just as fingers share general characteristics, each has a unique "print" or pattern. This same principle can be used to facilitate understanding complex cultures and societies, such as those in China.

A distinct geographic print might include the following variables: physical and environmental
