Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution is one which discusses how the Constitution might be changed, what amendments can be made, and discusses the manner in which the changes can and should be made. The only way that changes can be made to the Constitution, is if new amendments are added to it; no other clause or forms of change can take place, apart from this, when the government, or any one party is attempting to make new rules or amend the Constitution.<span>Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution is one which discusses how the Constitution might be changed, what amendments can be made, and discusses the manner in which the changes can and should be made.

On a rainy September 13, 1814, British warships sent a downpour of shells and rockets onto Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor, relentlessly pounding the American fort for 25 hours. The bombardment, known as the Battle of Baltimore, came only weeks after the British had attacked Washington, D.C., burning the Capitol, the Treasury and the President’s house. It was another chapter in the ongoing War of 1812.

A week earlier, Francis Scott Key, a 35-year-old American lawyer, had boarded the flagship of the British fleet on the Chesapeake Bay in hopes of persuading the British to release a friend who had recently been arrested. Key’s tactics were successful, but because he and his companions had gained knowledge of the impending attack on Baltimore, the British did not let them go. They allowed the Americans to return to their own vessel but continued guarding them. Under their scrutiny, Key watched on September 13 as the barrage of Fort McHenry began eight miles away.

“It seemed as though mother earth had opened and was vomiting shot and shell in a sheet of fire and brimstone,” Key wrote later. But when darkness arrived, Key saw only red erupting in the night sky. Given the scale of the attack, he was certain the British would win. The hours passed slowly, but in the clearing smoke of “the dawn’s early light” on September 14, he saw the American flag—not the British Union Jack—flying over the fort, announcing an American victory.

Key put his thoughts on paper while still on board the ship, setting his words to the tune of a popular English song. His brother-in-law, commander of a militia at Fort McHenry, read Key’s work and had it distributed under the name “Defence of Fort M’Henry.” The Baltimore Patriot newspaper soon printed it, and within weeks, Key’s poem, now called “The Star-Spangled Banner,” appeared in print across the country, immortalizing his words—and forever naming the flag it celebrated.

Nearly two centuries later, the flag that inspired Key still survives, though fragile and worn by the years. To preserve this American icon, experts at the National Museum of American History recently completed an eight-year conservation treatment with funds from Polo Ralph Lauren, The Pew Charitable Trusts and the U.S. Congress. And when the museum reopens in summer 2008, the Star-Spangled Banner will be its centerpiece, displayed in its own state-of-the-art gallery.

“The Star-Spangled Banner is a symbol of American history that ranks with the Statue of Liberty and the Charters of Freedom.

  • Article V of the Constitution is very important to this day because it allows the Constitution to remain relevant throughout the ages. Article V allows the states to propose amendments to the Constitution. This action allows the Constitution to adapt to changing times by allowing it to be altered when necessary.
  • "The Star Spangled Banner" is a poem by Francis Scott Key that is now known as the United States national anthem. The author of this poem uses imagery extensively, as he employs vivid language that allows us to create a vivid picture in our mind. The author describes the aftermath of the battle in the text using images of mist and darkness. This contributed to developing the setting. Moreover, he uses several symbols. He talks about footprints to show the arrogance of the British, and blood to show their defeat. He also employs the image of the banner or flag in order to convey the idea of a land of freedom.
  • In "The Indian Burying Ground," Freneau conveys a positive image of the Native Americans. He presents them as wise people who are in tune with their emotions and their traditions. He also highlights the fact that they are connected with nature. While these are positive images, they are also stereotypes that represent only one aspect of the lives and ways of thinking of American Indians. They are a consequence of the Romantic images that Americans had of these people. Such stereotypes continue playing an important role in the present.

"Sinners in the hands of an Angry God" what does this except suggest about Edwards’s opinion of society?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

He feels society in general, including many members of the congregation, is more sinful now than ever.

Explanation:

"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is a sermon written by the American Christian theologian Jonathan Edwards, preached to his own congregation in Northampton, Massachusetts, to profound effect,[1] and again on July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut. The preaching of this sermon was the catalyst for the First Great Awakening.[2] Like Edwards' other works, it combines vivid imagery of Hell with observations of the world and citations of the scripture. It is Edwards' most famous written work, is a fitting representation of his preaching style,[3] and is widely studied by Christians and historians, providing a glimpse into the theology of the First Great Awakening of c. 1730–1755.

This was a highly influential sermon of the Great Awakening, emphasizing God’s wrath upon unbelievers after death to a very real, horrific, and fiery Hell. [4] The underlying point is that God has given humans a chance to confess their sins. It is the mere will of God, according to Edwards, that keeps wicked men from being overtaken by the devil and his demons and cast into the furnace of hell - “like greedy hungry lions, that see their prey, and expect to have it, but are for the present kept back [by God’s hand].” Mankind’s own attempts to avoid falling into the “bottomless gulf” due to the overwhelming “weight and pressure towards hell” are insufficient as “a spider's web would have to stop a falling rock“. This act of grace from God has given humans a chance to believe and trust in Christ.[5] Edwards provides much varied and vivid imagery to illustrate this main theme throughout.
