The hard snow walls of an igloo are good insulators that keep in body heat and also the heat generated by oil lamps, these are known as qulliq. This is why traditional igloos are commonly made out of snow rather than ice and this is because solid ice does not retain heat as well as blocks of compressed snow. In addition, the walls block the wind, which is often so bitter that it can make freezing temperatures feel many degrees colder. Also, insulation capabilities actually increase a few days after construction. Body heat and sun exposure cause the inside of the igloo to melt ever so slightly. When the igloo is unoccupied during hunting expeditions, the melted snow freezes over, turning into ice. Gradual thawing and refreezing turns the entire structure to solid ice, making it not only superstrong, but warmer than ever.

When the framers designed the US Constitution they did not give the Federal government much power so power was balanced between States and Central Government. But the Federal government has gained more and more power over time. At the same time, the States were restricted over the years, when the Framers did not imagine doing so.
Both of these situations can be good or bad. For example, making the States respect the Bill of Rights was a good thing when individuals had their basic rights stripped on a State level. So making only the Federal government respect the Bill of Rights did not make much sense.
At the same time, the Federal Government has shown much power that was not designed and showed a few issues over the years, especially with the Executive Branch that had in a few opportunities overstepped its powers.
The Boxer Rebellion was an anti-foreign and anti-christian movement in China. This was the result of western missionaries arriving in China in the 1860's to convert the locals to christianism, in a country of a predominant taosim and confucionism population. This strong anti-foreign movement was created by a group called "The Boxers" and they seeked rebellion against western powers.
The Boxer Rebellion positively affected USA-Asian relations because of the U.S. suppression of the rebellion which resulted in the end of dynasties and the initiation of the Open Door policy in China, which stopped any country from imperializing China. This event helped to take a country that had been long resentful of foreigners and open it up, overall strengthening the relationship between them and the U.S.
