    1. Until quite recently, most American history textbooks taught that before Europeans invaded the Americas Indians were savages who lived in isolated groups and had so little impact on their environment that it remained a pristine wilderness. We now know from scientific discoveries that this account was wrong. What is the effect of learning that most of what we have assumed about the past is "wrong in almost every aspect," as Mann puts it on page 4?…

    The pillars of citizenship in our country, the United States of America, have been constructed through three essential documents. The Declaration of Independence, US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights have furnished much of our countries civil rights and liberties of the US political system. The Declaration of Independence of 1776 was a document that stated official separation between the 13 colonies and Great Britain. The Declaration mainly argued for the colonies most central law, which was that “all men are created equal” and there are certain unalienable rights that governments need to respect such as the “right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” It also argued “Intolerable Acts” would be considered unconstitutional under the new nation. It also argued if a government is not supporting the rights described in the document, citizens should and could overthrow that government as devoted citizens. The declaration of Independence was created to form a new government that’s main duty was to support the rights of citizens through only the power of the people that it represented. The US Constitution was constructed after we won our independence from Great Britain, which resulted in the formation of our new Government. It was the foundational document that setup all of our nations branches of our newly constructed Government. As a whole, this documents main purpose was the construction of our relationship between the Federal Government and the United States Citizens. When the US Constitution was constructed there was many debates between the Anti-Federalists and Federalists. The Anti-Federalists were scared that there would be to much Government regulation and the citizens would lose some of their rights. In regards to this, both sides agreed on the US constitution, but only if there would be a construction of a “Bill of Rights”. The Bill of Rights sole purpose was to maintain the United States citizens liberties including freedom of speech,…

    One option to maintain the strength of the U.S. Constitution is to not let the government impose on individual or group rights. The ten amendments advance one right and liberties that “reflects continuities with the larger democratic world” (American Exceptionalism in Constitutional Amendment). In fact, the purpose of the Bill of rights is to prohibit the government from taking action to “deny citizens their privileges and immunities” (American Government). Although, some criticize “citizen-initiative amendments are often ill-considered, poorly vetted and even discriminatory”(). But, the first ten amendments adjust to annual social issues in the United States, therefore, allowing citizens to have equal protections under state laws. In summary, the 10 amendments are option to enable the government to take action against U.S. citizen’s basic…
