History

Answer: The purpose of the phrase "We the People of the United States" means that the PEOPLE rule the government (a democracy) and not royalty (monarchy). They wanted this type of government because our founding fathers didn't want to have one person ruling the government. That is why we have three branches of government to separate political power.

Article I – The Legislative Branch. The principal mission of the legislative body is to make laws. It is split into two different chambers – the House of Representatives and the Senate. Congress is a legislative body that holds the power to draft and pass legislation, borrow money for the nation, declare war and raise a military. It also has the power to check and balance the other two federal branches.

Article II – The Executive Branch. This branch of the government manages the day-to-day operations of government through various federal departments and agencies, such as the Department of Treasury. At the head of this branch is the nationally elected President of the United States. The president swears an oath to ‘faithfully execute’ the responsibilities as president and to ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States’. Its powers include making treaties with other nations, appointing federal judges, department heads and Ambassadors, and determining how to best run the country and run military operations.

Article III – The Judicial Branch. Article III outlines the powers of the federal court system. Determines that the court of last resort is the US Supreme Court and that the US Congress has the power to determine the size and scope of those courts below it. All judges are appointed for life unless they resign due to bad behaviour. Those facing charges are to be tried and judged by a jury of their peers.

Article IV – The States. This article defines the relationship between the states and the federal government. The federal government guarantees a republican form of government in each state, protects the nation and the people from foreign or domestic violence, and determines how new states can join the Union. It also suggests that all the states are equal to each other and should respect each other’s laws and the judicial decisions made by other state court systems.

Article V – Amendment. Future generations can amend the Constitution if the society so requires it. Both the states and Congress have the power to initiate the amendment process.

Article VI – Debts, Supremacy, Oaths. Article VI determines that the US Constitution, and all laws made from it are the ‘supreme Law of the Land’, and all officials, whether members of the state legislatures, Congress, judiciary or the Executive have to swear an oath to the Constitution.

Article VII – Ratification. This article details all those people who signed the Constitution, representing the original 13 states.

Wood from Lebanon for both David's house and Solomon's Temple was provided by who?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Hiram, King of Tyre.

Explanation:

After King David got back the Ark of the Tabernacle, he promised God that he would build a temple for the Ark to be kept in a much more permanent location. But due to his murderous hands and the vast amount of human blood that he had shed, God told him to let the temple be built by his son Solomon.

In the book of 1 Kings chapter 5, we see Hiram, king of Tyre, and King Solomon agreeing to provide provisions for each other according to their needs. King Solomon requires "cedars of Lebanon" and asks Hiram to allow it to be sent to him, and in return, he will provide King Hiram with provisions for the royal household. <u>Verses 10 and 11</u> say, <em>"In this way Hiram kept Solomon supplied with all the cedar and juniper logs he wanted, and Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat as food for his household, in addition to twenty thousand baths, of pressed olive oil. Solomon continued to do this for Hiram year after year." </em>
