Slavery in the U.S.
Subject:
For approximately two hundred and fifty years, slavery raged on in the United States. Today, people look back on it with humiliation and sadness. Most agree that it was morally wrong, but did the colonists of the seventeenth century have another choice? The colonies were full of plantations, and did not have enough laborers to work them. Wages were rising in England, so there were less indentured servants, plantation owners grew fearful of mutinous former servants, and there weren’t enough workers to toil away at their labor-intensive crops. Without slaves, plantation owners wouldn’t have been able to do what they did on such a large scale.
Bullying
Subject:
Even thought bullying may stop,even though you think that person forgives you, the pain is left in that persons head forever and that person would still have to live with those memories.
redistricting
Subject:
Redistricting, a form of redistribution, is the process of drawing United States district lines. This often means changing electoral district and constituency boundaries in response to periodic census results.[1] In 36 states, the state legislature has primary responsibility for creating a redistricting plan, in many cases subject to approval by the state governor. To reduce the role that legislative politics might play, seven states (Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, New Jersey, California, Minnesota and Washington), carry out congressional redistricting by an independent or bipartisan commission. Three states, Iowa, Florida and Maine, give independent bodies authority to propose redistricting plans, but preserve the role of legislatures to approve them.

Essay on Slaves
Subject:
Tags:
The North came to think of slavery as a “moral evil” because it threatened to restrict what they felt America stood for; the South argued that slavery supported the “Southern Way of Life”, which they felt was superior to any other in the United States. With new territories being added to the United States, the dispute and tension between the North and South increased due to the attempt to balance the power of free and slave states. The difference between each of their economies effected each viewpoint when it came to the issue of slavery. While the North was industrialized, the South depended on slaves for the agricultural economy.

(1793) Chisholm v. Georgia: Stripped the immunity of the states to lawsuits in federal court. Citizen of one state could sue another state in federal court. This led to the adoption of the Eleventh Amendment, which protected states from federal court suits by citizens of other states. In 1890, Hans v. Louisiana, Court extended immunity; unless a state agreed, it could not be sued in federal court by its own citizens. (1803) Marbury v.
