The Organization of American States (OAS) was founded on
April 30, 1948. It is established for the purpose of regional solidarity and cooperation
among the member states. During the Ninth International Conference of American
States which was held in Bogotá between March and May 1948; led by the United
States Secretary of State George Marshall. The meeting led the members to
pledge to fight against communism in the western hemisphere. The meeting also
adopted the American declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man the world’s
very first general human rights instrument.
It was signed on May 19, 1828 during the presidency of John Quincy Adams. It was passed by Congress. It set a tariff (tax) on imported goods. The tariff was designed to protect the northern industry, causing the southern states to be hit dramatically, which is why it was considered a reason leading to the Civil War.

Introduction
When empires fall, they tend to stay dead. The same is true of government systems. Monarchy has been in steady decline since the American Revolution, and today it is hard to imagine a resurgence of royalty anywhere in the world. The fall of the Soviet bloc dealt a deathblow to communism; now no one expects Marx to make a comeback. Even China's ruling party is communist only in name.
There are, however, two prominent examples of governing systems reemerging after they had apparently ceased to exist. One is democracy, a form of government that had some limited success in a small Greek city-state for a couple of hundred years, disappeared, and then was resurrected some two thousand years later. Its re-creators were non-Greeks, living under radically different conditions, for whom democracy was a word handed down in the philosophy books, to be embraced only fitfully and after some serious reinterpretation. The other is the Islamic state.
From the time the Prophet Muhammad and his followers withdrew from Mecca to form their own political community until just after World War I—almost exactly thirteen hundred years—Islamic governments ruled states that ranged from fortified towns to transcontinental empires. These states, separated in time, space, and size, were so Islamic that they did not need the adjective to describe themselves. A common constitutional theory, developing and changing over the course of centuries, obtained in all. A Muslim ruler governed according to God's law, expressed through principles and rules of the shari'a that were expounded by scholars. The ruler's fulfillment of the duty to command what the law required and ban what it prohibited made his authority lawful and legitimate.
Both independence movements (Vietnam and Algeria) was launched and organized a communist or a nationalist’s party to fight in the battle. When the war was successfully ended and gaining their victory they proclaimed their independence and grabbed their democracy that made all the communists united.
Each Veda consists of four parts--the Samhitas (hymns), the Brahmanas (rituals), the Aranyakas (theologies) and the Upanishads (philosophies). The collection of mantras or hymns is called the Samhita. The Brahmanas are ritualistic texts that include precepts and religious duties.
The name of its holy literature is The Vedas.
