... a loose, general interpretation of the United States constitution. The Federalist’s also favored tariffs to protect good manufactured in the United States. In contrast, Thomas Jefferson’s political views favored the common person. Jefferson believed that farmers were the most valuable citizens. His followers called themselves the Democratic Republicans. “Cultivators of the earth,” Jefferson wrote, “are the most valuable citizens.” This belief could be due to the fact that he was a farmer himself.

Secondly, the interpretation of paragraph 175 of 1871 Reich criminal code, criminalizing ‘acts of indecency' as well as sexual intercourse between two men, was not repealed until 1969. This meant that homosexuals who had been persecuted and sent to concentration camps could now be punished under the same law. Also, homosexuals were not counted among Hitler's victims. Neither post-war German state had a "relevant" record in this area (Burleigh and Wipperman, 183). In 1935, the Reichstag amended paragraph 175 of the Criminal Code to close what were seen as loopholes in the current law. The new law had three parts. One of them statin ...

... helping fight a stable fire James was horribly injured. Though the actual injury itself remains a mystery many speculate that it was the cause of his lifelong rejection of intimate relationships. Combined with his already introverted personality, the injury contributed to the isolated environment that James surrounded himself in and forced him to find companionship in his writing. At age 19, Henry James gave up schooling for good, deciding instead to become a writer. He began to publish his works and the tone for his works were set. James was highly influenced by another American writer, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and his work echoed with the same concerns "restrain ...

He had done that all that within a decade. For over three decades before the successful pinnacle in 1947 of the Muslim struggle for freedom in the South-Asian subcontinent, Jinnah had provided political leadership to the Indian Muslims: initially as one of the leaders, but later, since 1947, as the only prominent leader- the Quaid-i-Azam. For over thirty years, he had guided their affairs; he had given expression, coherence and direction to their legitimate aspirations and cherished dreams; he had f ...

... them. It is even possible that some were invited by a Briton king to help fight the Picts in Scotland. Whatever motivated them and however they came, the various groups that settled over the course of the next few decades were not a single, homogenous unit, although most--perhaps even all--spoke a similar language. In his history, the Venerable Bede tells us of Angles, Saxons and Jutes (from Jutland), but these were by no means the only tribes who descended on Britain. There is scant evidence available concerning the Anglo-Saxon invasion or life in England during this unsettled time. Various societies rose and fell, until by the 7th century England was a collectio ...

... the Schlieffen Plan. The Schlieffen Plan was the German plan of attack. Its objective was to knock the French out of the war before Russia would conquer eastern Germany. It unleashed three quarters of the German army in a giant westward sweep across Belgium and Luxembourg, and then into a giant wheel South into France. This plan accepted the risks of an early Russian attack on the eastern front, so when the French destroyed it the German objective wasn't attained and it left the Russians with an open window for an attack. The Russians took this opportunity and attacked, which brings us to our second most important battle. The Russians sent two armi ...

... Was there a way to end the war less savagely? Would our current leaders have made the same decision? Was any authority opposed to the idea? Should we have bombed military bases instead of cities? These and many other questions arise. Before these are analyzed, a brief background on the bombs and the tests are in order (O’Neal 47). When a man from the Soviet Union successfully split an atom, the question of a bomb immediately arose. Einstein wrote a letter to President Truman stating that if a bomb was possible then the country to own it would have complete power. In light of this information, Truman formed an Interim Committee to research the topic and f ...
