Prior to the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States,  The Bill of Rights ( the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution) only applied to the Federal government. This meant that  states were not obliged to adopt the Amendments and the laws that came as a result of them.

After the Civil War ended, the Fourteenth Amendment was created and ratified, the Bill of Rights was now applicable not only to federal courts but also to state ones. This meant that citizens were now more protected, as federal and states obligations are the same in most cases.

Aleks [24]
Supreme Court Justices are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Once they are approved, they have lifetime terms. 

I agree, and believe anyone would agree, with the quote. Getting a Supreme Court Justice nominated and approved, who shares your political views, means that you will have a very powerful person in the Judicial Branch exercising power for potentially several decades. Supreme Court Justices, especially through the power of judicial review, can exercise great power over the government without having to worry about reelection and with no end to their term. This means that the president, by extension, enjoys great influence over government through his nomination of these justices.

Explain what technology has to say to the individual and society
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

It helps society and determines how people interact with each other on a daily basis. It's made learning more interactive and collaborative, this helps people better engage with the material that they are learning and have trouble with. But, as a disadvantage to tech, it distracts us. You could get stuck scrolling for hours when it feels like 10 minutes.

11111nata11111 [884]

According to protagoras, the most practical course for most of us <u>"involves behaving in a conventional way." </u>

Protagoras is best known for his proclamation: "Man is the measure of all things." He prevented the presence from claiming target truth and qualities, supplanted reality with appearance, and diminished truth to a matter of person's translation and point of view (perspectivism). Truth turned out to be in this way in respect to a gathering of individuals and people (relativism).
