Inca native

Hello brother Nahuasapu

Some strange tall men have arrived to our village. I´m writing this because I´m very worried about them. We cannot understand their sounds. They have althought arrived with some people of the village next to us and it seems they are helping them to understand each other better. Still, the sounds they make with their mouths are weird. I´ve never heard a language like that before. However it draws my attention how tall they are. There are also rumours about a plague that is coming with them. People get sick and die eventually and they seem very attentive towards our metalic resource of gold. They can even get aggressive for those shiny objects we have. I´m worried about the future of our village. They tend to react in a very aggressive way towards our people. They seem to have magic swords that throw a very damaging little stuff. It can kill our brothers with 1 shot. We are all very scared towards these people in reality but we hold our words in our minds because we are afraid that some of these traitors will tell something about this to them. Besides trying to look towards this gold or more known as "oro" by them, that´s how they pronounce it, they are looking for the casique of our empire and the inca itself. They seem to be looking out for the big heads here.

Tell our people to be very careful with them and avoid any contact. If it happens to be inevitable to avoid them then be very careful of what you say. Don´t mention gold unless it´s an extreme situation. And if they say something about god also be very careful. Just say yes to everything and don´t mind them. Run if it´s possible and try to inform the rest because we are already doomed.


Now the conquistador letter:

Good day Maria

We have arrived to the unknown land my love. I know you must be very worried about us because we haven´t talked for a while. I want to see my kids also. How much they have grown. Anyways, I´m writing here so I can tell you about our amazing trip to this unknown place. Nobody believed Cristobal but at last he was right. On the other hand the trip was hard. We traveled for so much days we even lost the notion about what day is today. Some people died or have gone insane on the run. The people here is almost half naked. They have huge ornaments in their faces sometimes. The villages we have arrived are weird. Their attitude is rather unsettling for me.

Thankfully they gave me something to defend myself if they get to close. However I dont want to hurt them, they seem like us but more like animals. I don´t really know what they are and I´m not looking foward to see what they really are because we are not here for that. We came for the gold, shiny and bright and beautiful gold so we can be rich at last and we can get to be a higher class. We can even start our own business honey. I´m doing this because I love you. It is very hard and sometimes it doesn´t feel right but I´m under command and this is how it needs to be. It seems we have found some of it thanks to some indigenous people that we founde exploring the shore. They saw us and attacked us so we have to defend ourselves. Some of our men died but we crushed them at the end. I´m glad I´m still alive however.

Hope I stay this way for the return so I can see my kids grow up. I hope that we can find this so called inca that the villagers mentioned us so we can talk some things and make some business before returning. This is a huge change for our culture. It is also a huge change for our lives. I love you my queen. I´ll write you as soon as I´m returning home.

Always yours

How does the “Bill of Rights “ reflect the mood, values and history of the American colonists? Identify three specific examples.
JulsSmile [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The three examples of how the “Bill of Rights “ reflected the mood, values, and history of the American colonists are the following.

The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments of the Constitution of the United States.

1.- Freedom of speech. An important component of the first amendment is the right of US citizens to express their opinions. Colonists really wanted to have a voice and be heard.

2.- Freedom of religion. Another important component of the first amendment. There were colonists in Massachusetts, for instance, that came to the North American territory to freely profess and practice their religion as was the case of the Puritans in the Plymouth colony.

3.- Freedom of Assemble. It was very important for the colonists to gather together in their homes or public places to talk about the problems and issues they had with the monarchy of Great Britain.

Please paraphrase, thank you!
madreJ [45]

In order to paraphrase a text you should understand each paragraph's main ideas and then think of other citations and examples of your own to complete the logic of it.

1 - The Beard interpretation has two main problems: first, there isn’t in the Constitution any confession or strong sign of the influence from those who believed the fundamental private rights of property being fundamentally anterior to government and morally unreachable for the popular majorities; second, it is impossible to deny the Constitution as a document in federalism.

2 - These problems should be addressed. The second is simple for it is consensual amongst Revolutionary era historians that the big question of that moment was: how to articulate diverse parts of an empire towards common purposes? And how to realize that articulation without taking one side more than another, without transforming demands for liberty and autonomy into central government undermining. It can be argued that’s the same debate over Federal aid to education.  

3 - The Declaratory Act was a declaration of the British failure in solving this same problem, about which Edmund Burke sharply observed the impossibility of arguing anyone into slavery. When it was time for Americans to deal with this dilemma the Articles of Confederation were adequate when discussing the distribution of powers but lacking in sanctions. This deficiency was the cause of the Philadelphia Convention.

4 - Although Beard’s interpretation is convincing when arguing that those who wrote the Constitution belonged to the propertied classes, he is not as convincing about this being reflected on the Constitution itself. If the framers were trying to protect their property they didn’t succeed.  Our analysis of the Economic Interpretation of the Constitution shows that the auteur’s reading of that historical moment fails to legitimate itself when confronted with the Constitution’s text. What each of the framers did after the Constitution and how it was directly linked to his class isn’t enough proof of the auteur’s argument if it isn’t shown also through the Constitution.
