The best definition for empire is a political unit or area where previously independent states are under one ruler’s control. There were many empires established around the world.

 

EXPLANATION:

There are well-known empires you may want to study:

• Roman Empire

Roman Empire took place between 27 BC. and 476 A.D. It was considered to be one of the biggest and most powerful kingdoms in history. The Roman Empire ruled over three continents: Europe, Africa, and Asia. It governed about 21% of the world's population. The Roman Empire was very sophisticated for its time. Its architecture still stands today in the form of the Roman Coliseum and other famous buildings. Julius Caesar, Octavian, and Nero were famous Roman Emperors.  

The Roman Empire split into two parts in 395 A.D., and while the Western Roman Empire fell in 476 A.D., the Eastern Roman Empire lasted another 1,000 years until it fell to the Ottomans in 1453. The Roman Empire was one of the strongest empires in the world. history. It was very advanced for its time.  

• Holy Roman Empire

The Holy Roman Empire was a slack conglomeration of central European countries which lasted between 800-1806. Frankish King Charlemagne became the first Holy Roman Emperor. What is now the countries of Germany, France, Austria, and Poland are incorporated in the Holy Roman Empire. The groups of people in the Holy Roman Empire were very diverse, and it was surprising that this empire was able to last for so long given its fragmented nature.

• British Empire

The British Empire was the greatest kingdom in history, governing a quarter part of the world. The British Empire started to raise at the end of the 15th century and is usually considered to last until the end of the 20th century. At its top, the British Empire governed territories on seven continents. Eastern North America (before the American Revolution), Australia and India were well-known and important British colonies.  

In the New World, British colonial agendas conflicted with the colonial agenda of Spain and France, leading to recurrent wars, such as the Seven Years War (Indian and French Wars) and Jenkin's Ear War.

Explain and analyze how two of the following were examples of the constitution as a living document that can effectively operate
sertanlavr [38]

<u>Marbury VS Madison</u>

John Marshall, in his decision, is in charge of pacifying the issue. Marshall argues, in short, that, in the hierarchy of laws, the US Constitution rules and the courts, as well as the other departments, are bound by it. Thus any law contrary to the Constitution should be declared void.

Thus, Marshall incidentally (incidentally) decides the unconstitutionality of Section 13 of the Judiciary Act, to the extent that it contravenes the precepts of the American Constitution. The unconstitutionality of a law was declared without the analysis of the merit itself. Note that Marshall, in making such a decision not on the merits, does not, in theory, give a favorable understanding to either of the poles, so as not to generate for him political conflicts with both parties.

<u> The Whiskey Rebellion</u>

It was a "tax protest" in the United States, beginning in 1791 and culminating in an insurrection in 1794. The rebellion took place primarily in Washington, Pennsylvania, in the Monongahela Valley during the presidency of George Washington under the command of the American revolutionary war veteran Major James McFarlane.

There, he gave a racist, anti-immigrant speech to the apparent joy of the audience.Regarding the green card lottery system—a frequent target of this administration, despite the president’s seeming inability to understand what it actually entails—Trump said: “You think the [other] countries [are] giving us their best people? No.”“They give us the worst people,” Trump continued. “They put them in a bin, but in his hand when he’s pickin’ ‘em is really the worst of the worst.”The crowd laughed.Trump also used the opportunity to raise the specter of one of his favorite immigration boogymen: the MS-13 gang.“To any member of MS-13 listening,” Trump said, doing his best Liam Neeson, “We will find you. We will arrest you. We will jail you. We will throw you the hell out of the country.”He went on to add that in prison “we have to take care of them.”“Who the hell wants to take care of them?” Trump asked the crowd. “You know, the jail stuff is wonderful, but we have to pay for it, right?”Again, the audience—made up largely of local police, and NOT immigration officials—laughed and applauded.
And what would a Trump speech to police be without some standard-level racism about Chicago?“What the hell is going on in Chicago?” Trump asked the laughing crowd at one point during his remarks, before pivoting to Baltimore, another city that’s been wracked by racist policing.The crowd went wild.Recommended StoriesTrump Endorsed Police Brutality to a Room Full of Cops, and They Loved ItFox News Is Super Excited That Trump Is Letting Cops Use Military Weapons on ProtestersFeds Reportedly Warned Cops That Charlottesville Would Be Violent and They Still Did NothingAbout the authorRafi SchwartzRafi SchwartzNews reporter, Splinter.

He second part of the declaration of independence best exemplifies the __________. division of powers separation of powers natur
Kobotan [32]

Answer:  Social contract theory

By "the second part," I presume you mean the list of grievances against the British government, which followed the first section (in which natural rights were a strong emphasis).

After asserting natural rights in the opening section, saying that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," then the <em>Declaration of Independence </em>goes on to give a list of "facts to be submitted to a candid world." These facts were meant to demonstrate that the British king had been seeking to establish "an absolute Tyranny over these States" (the colonial states which were declaring their independence).  This was a violation of the social contract which exists between a government and those governed.

The list of grievances against the British government included items such as:

  • The king refused to assent to laws that were wholesome and necessary for the public good.
  • The king had forbidden colonial governors to enact laws or implement laws without his assent (which, as the prior point noted, he was in no hurry to give).
  • The king forced people to give up their rights to legislative assembly or forced legislative bodies to meet in difficult places that imposed hardships on them.
  • The king dissolved legislative assemblies and then refused for a long time to have other assemblies elected.
  • The king obstructed justice in the colonies and made judges dependent on his will alone for their salaries and their tenure in office.
  • The king kept standing armies in place in the colonies in peacetime, without the consent of the colonial legislatures.
  • The king imposed taxes without the colonists' consent.

These and additional items listed in the Declaration were meant to support the colonies' position that tyranny was standard operating procedure by the British monarchy, and therefore revolution was justified.  This was based on the idea of the social contract, that a government's authority to govern came from the people, and if the government did not serve the people properly, it could be replaced.   The Declaration asserted that principle in these words:  "When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them [the people] under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
