In order to be a state judge, a candidate must have been born in the United States.
nika2105 [10]
False, The only requirement to become a federal judge is being appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. In theory, the President could appoint an undocumented immigrant, and if the Senate confirmed that appointment, that person would be a federal judge. Unlikely, but possible.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries had transformed the world in climactic ways. One of the biggest transformations was finding and conquesting the Americas. With this comes a few theories, as in what had led both the Spanish and Portuguese empires to seek these voyages, but the truth of the matter is that the main reasons that pushed Spain to support Cristopher Columbus in his trip in 1492 were, first, the desire to discover and open new trade routes to the Indies. When the Spanish arrived in the Americas, their first encounter wasn't with big Native tribes or settled civilizations. It wasn't until later, in 1519, that the Spanish encountered true Native American civilization. And the first to find this was Hernán Cortés, who between 1519 and 1521, led a war against the Aztec Empire, one of the biggest and most important of the entire continent.

The Aztecs were settled in the Gulf of Mexico, in what is today Mexico itself. The second empire was the Inca Empire, in what is today Peru, specifically in Cusco. Unlike its sister empire in Mexico, the Incas did not have wheeled vehicles and they did not use farm animals. In the end, most of the Americas, save what is nowadays Brazil, which ended in the hands of Portugal, became part of the enormous Spanish Empire. The result was a group of colonies from which the Spanish derived the precious metal of gold and which made them really rich. The Natives, at first were enslaved by the Spanish until through intervention of the Church, black people were brought in to prevent the death of the Natives.

Serga [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

   1368: The Ming Dynasty began with a rebellion, which defeated the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368).

   1402–1424: Emperor Yongle ushered in a period of prosperity, including trade with Europeans. This continued until the late 1500s, when it was forbidden due to armed smugglers and Japanese pirates.

   1420: The Ming capital was moved to Beijing after the Forbidden City was completed. Before that, the capital was Nanjing.

   Traditional culture flourished during the Ming Dynasty. Three of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese Literature were written.

   The Great Wall was more crucial than ever in protecting China from northern invasion during the Ming era.

   1644: The dynasty ended when peasant rebellion from the south led to the Great Wall gates being opened to the Manchurians, who initiated the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912).
