Two Constitutions: A Comparison
ADA Text Version
US Constitution featuring the words We the PeopleIn many ways, the U.S. and Texas Constitutions are similar documents. They both embody the principles of representative democratic government, in which sovereignty emanates from the people. Both contain a bill of rights that protects civil liberties from government infringement… both provide for a bicameral legislature with a House of Representatives and a Senate… both seek a system of checks and balances and separation of powers between legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government… and both divide government power between upper and lower levels of government. In the U.S. Constitution the states are subordinate to the federal government, and in the Texas Constitution the counties are subordinate to the state government. But beyond these general features, the two constitutions could not be more different. These differences result from the fact that the two documents arose out of very different historical circumstances and for radically opposite complaints with the document each was meant to replace. With the U.S. Constitution, the problem with the earlier Articles of Confederation was that government was too decentralized and not powerful enough. The U.S. Constitution was designed to overcome these weaknesses and offer a degree of centralization and increased government power. But this is precisely what the Texas Constitution was designed to reverse and avoid. The framers of the U.S. Constitution wanted to enable government action; the framers of the Texas Constitution wanted to paralyze government action.
In the mid-1840s Famine due to potato blight was the main cause of massive Irish immigration to the United States which destroyed the staple food of the Irish diet.

Answer:
The United States wanted to maintain its superpower status and contain communism by maintaining the Cold War with the Soviet Union. In this case, conflict in Korea, Vietnam, and Cuba resulted from the Cold War. The American government felt threatened by the Communist government and wanted to see democracy prevail over communism. In this case, many times America felt forced to protect its government and beliefs, and to protect other countries from falling to communism.
