1. The goal of 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments is to ensure that:

The correct answer is "all citizens over the age of 18 have a voice in Government". 

Analysis: These three amendments are suffrage amendments. Each one promotes the defense of the right to vote of the American citizens. In one case, of the African-American population since 1870, after the Civil War. In the amendment nineteenth, of the female vote, from 1920 and in the other, the 26th, reducing the minimum age to vote from 21 to 18 years of age since 1971.

2. In the American constitutional system, the legislative branch makes the law, the executive branch executes the law, and the judicial branch interprets the law. How does this system support the separation of powers?

The correct answer is "Each branch affects the other, power is shared, and one branch can be challenged by another branch".

Analysis: The power of the federal government is divided between the three branches: legislative, executive and judicial, which constitutes the "Separation of powers" in the strict sense. Moreover, the exercise of power by any of the three powers of the federal government is limited in several ways by the powers given to the other two, thus establishing the principle of limits and counterweights. For example, the legislative branch of the Congress of The United States is limited and counterbalanced by the presidential veto; and the power of the president to appoint ambassadors, federal judges, and high federal officials are limited by the constitutional requirement that those appointments obtain the consent of the Senate.

This method of separation of powers has also been carried out, within each State, in its own state constitution through the division of state governmental power among the three branches of government of the State; the creation of checks and balances between the three branches of government State, and the delegation of governmental power to two lower levels of local government, counties, and municipalities.

3. Lloyd enjoys deer hunting. He goes into a local store to purchase a new gun. Which amendment to the Constitution ensures Lloyd's ability to purchase a new gun?

The correct answer is the Second Amendment.

Second Amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".

Analysis: The American citizens have a right to own guns; the 2nd Amendment provides a justification for that and the Government cannot violate, prohibit or ban this right.

Why did Maria and Julian Martinez demonstrate pottery making at expositions? How did it benefit the Pueblo community?

Alja [10]

Answer:

Explanation:Born Maria Antonia Montoya, Maria Martinez became one of the best-known Native potters of the twentieth century due to her excellence as a ceramist and her connections with a larger, predominantly non-Native audience. Though she lived at the Pueblo of San I.l.d.e.f.o.n.s.o, about 20 miles north of Santa Fe, New Mexico, from her birth in 1887 until her death in 1980, her work and her life had a wide reaching importance to the Native art world by re-framing Native ceramics as a fine art. Before the arrival of the railroad to the area in the 1880's, pots were used in the Pueblos for food storage, cooking, and ceremonies. But with inexpensive pots appearing along the rail line, these practices were in decline. By the 1910's, Ms. Martinez found a way to continue the art by selling her pots to a non-Native audience where they were purchased as something beautiful to look at rather than as utilitarian objects. Her mastery as a ceramist was noted in her village while she was still young. She learned the ceramic techniques that were used in the Southwest for several millennia by watching potters from San I.l.d.e.f.o.n.s.o, especially her aunt N.i.c.h.o.l.a.s.a as well as potters (including Margaret T.a.f.o.y.a from Santa Clara), from other nearby Pueblos. All the raw materials had to be gathered and processed carefully or the final vessel would not fire properly. The clay was found locally. To make the pottery stronger it had to be mixed with a temper made from s.h.e.r.d.s of broken pots that had been pounded into a powder or volcanic ash. When mixed with water, the elasticity of the clay and the strength of the temper could be formed into different shapes, including a rounded pot (known as an o.l.l.a) or a flat plate, using only the artist’s hands as the potting wheel was not used. The dried vessel needed to be scraped, sanded, smoothed, then covered with a slip (a thin solution of clay and water). The slip was polished by rubbing a smooth stone over the surface to flatten the clay and create a shiny finish—a difficult and time-consuming process. Over the polished slip the pot was covered with designs painted with an iron-rich solution using either pulverized iron ore or a reduction of wild plants called g.u.a.c.o. These would be dried but required a high temperature firing to change the brittle clay to hard ceramics. Even without kilns, the ceramists were able to create a fire hot enough to transform the pot by using manure. Making ceramics in the Pueblo was considered a communal activity, where different steps in the process were often shared. The potters helped each other with the arduous tasks such as mixing the paints and polishing the slip. Ms. Martinez would form the perfectly symmetrical vessels by hand and leave the decorating to others. Throughout her career, she worked with different family members, including her husband Julian, her son Adam and his wife Santana, and her son P.o.p.o.v.i D.a. As the pots moved into a fine art market, Ms. Martinez was encouraged to sign her name on the bottom of her pots. Though this denied the communal nature of the art, she began to do so as it resulted in more money per pot. To help other potters in the Pueblo, Ms. Martinez was known to have signed the pots of others, lending her name to help the community. Helping her Pueblo was of paramount importance to Ms. Martinez. She lived as a proper Pueblo woman, avoiding self-aggrandizement and insisting to scholars that she was just a wife and mother even as her reputation in the outside world increased. Maria and Julian Martinez pioneered a style of applying a matte-black design over polished-black. Similar to the pot pictured here, the design was based on pottery s.h.e.r.d.s found on an Ancestral Pueblo dig site dating to the twelfth to seventeenth centuries at what is now known as B.a.n.d.e.l.i.e.r National Monument. The M.a.r.t.i.n.e.z.e.s worked at the site, with Julian helping the archaeologists at the dig and Maria helping at the campsite. Julian Martinez spent time drawing and painting the designs found on the walls and on the s.h.e.r.d.s of pottery into his notebooks, designs he later recreated on pots. In the 1910's, Maria and Julian worked together to recreate the black-on-black ware they found at the dig, experimenting with clay from different areas and using different firing techniques. Taking a cue from Santa Clara pots, they discovered that smothering the fire with powdered manure removed the oxygen while retaining the heat and resulted in a pot that was blackened. This resulted in a pot that

What right's did Egyptian women retain after they were married?

BigorU [14]

Ancient Egyptian women had nearly the same legal rights as men. They were able to acquire, own, and dispose of real and personal property in their own name. They could enter into contracts, initiate civil court cases, and be sued.
