Explanation:

The Constitution of the United States was ratified in 1789, making it 229 years old, the oldest constitution in the modern world.

As the United States has continued to grow and face unique challenges brought on through modern warfare, alliances, and technology, some critics have argued that the Framers of the Constitution could not have foreseen the changes the United States would experience. What can we do to update the Constitution to address these new issues? Well, the Framers thought of a solution: citizens could add changes to the Constitution.

The Framers added a process for amending, or changing, the Constitution in Article V. Since 1789, the United States has added 27 amendments to the Constitution. An amendment is a change to the Constitution. The first ten amendments to the Constitution became known as the Bill of Rights. These first amendments were designed to protect individual rights and liberties, like the right to free speech and the right to trial by jury.Article V describes the process for amending the Constitution. But the Framers intended for the amendment process to be difficult: although the federal government could add amendments, three-fourths of states have to ratify every amendment.

“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.”

Which state was a part of the Louisiana Purchase?
ANTONII [103]
The United States bought 828,000 square miles of land from France in 1803. The French controlled this region from 1699 until 1762 when it became Spanish property because France gave it to Spain as a present, since they were allies. But under Napoleon Bonaparte, France revived the aspirations to build an empire in North America so the territory was taken back in 1800. However, those big plans were not meant to be because Napoleon needed to concentrate on preparations for war with the British Empire and so the land was sold to the United States. The price was 15 million dollars.

The purchased territory included the whole of today’s Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, parts of Minnesota and Louisiana west of Mississippi River, including New Orleans, big parts of North and northeastern New Mexico, South Dakota, northern Texas, some parts of Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado as well as portions of Canadian provinces Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Explain the difference in the total of military deaths between russia and the United states.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

almost 20 years ago (used extinguished 70) until in the end, change after change, this has meant a change in the channel of the rivers. Already in the middle of last year the news of the increase in the number of grizzly bears in the park came out, due to an increase in bushes and fruits, which feed the bears, caused by a decrease in elk. This effect is due to the phenomenon known as waterfall or trophic network. A trophic cascade is the succession of elements that serve as food for others in an ecosystem. Let's see it in a simple way: there are producers who contribute organic matter (such as vegetables and some microorganisms), primary consumers (who feed on producers; they are herbivores), secondary consumers (who feed on primary ones) and tertiary consumers or super-predators (who feed on the secondary ones, or on any other link in the food chain). There are also decomposers, which are fungi.

Explanation:

In the case of Yellowstone, the wolf is a super predator and its absence led to an excess increase in the lower links, such as that of the elk. The moose wiped out the vegetation and this meant that the number of many animals that live in or feed on trees and shrubs, such as the bear, disappeared or decreased. In turn, as the number of prey decreased, the number of birds of prey and scavengers also fell. Currently, the presence of the wolf has restored all the balances: the number of moose has decreased and the vegetation has increased, bears, small mammals, birds of prey and scavengers, other scavengers such as foxes or weasels ... being the only victim. the coyote. That which is said that "nature is wise" is a truth like a temple. Ecosystems know how to regulate themselves without needing to receive extra “help”. In other words, the excuse of the hunters that they kill to regulate the life of the mountains is nothing more than that, an excuse to kill. Here we should take good note of this and stop the wolf slaughter that is taking place in Asturias and Castilla y León (we tell you here). The Yellowstone case is an example that could not be more clear. And, so that you have no doubts about the process that occurred, I leave you the Sustainable Man video, with subtitles in Spanish. A video that has no waste, not a single one of the 4 minutes it lasts.
