Is the ability to protest connected to the fact we live in a democratic country?
Answer: Yes. The ability to protest is connected to the fact we live in a democratic country. Many laws were passed that allowed us to protest as long as we aren't hurting anyone freely.
This means you can voice your opinions and criticize verbally against the government, etc. In some other non-democratic countries, you can go to jail or be given big fines for protesting.

The compromise that was made to make the Constitution appeal to the southern state was? 1/2 Compromise? 3/5 Compromise? The Slave Trade Compromise? or The Plantation compromise
Answer:
3/5 Compromise.
Explanation:
A constitution refers to a set of written laws and principles which is typically used to determine the power and authority of the government, as well as guarantee the fundamental rights of its citizens.
The Three-fifths Compromise was a compromise reached among delegates who came from the southern and northern states during the United States Constitutional Convention which held in 1787.
These delegates had disputes on how slaves are to be counted during census to determine the total population of each state which, consequently would determine the amount of taxes to be paid, as well as the number of house of representative seats. They reached a compromise by agreeing that three-fifths (three out of five) of the slave population are going to be counted to determine direct taxation and representation in the house of representatives.
Hence, the compromise that was made to make the Constitution appeal to the southern state was the Three-Fifths Compromise.

Read the passage from "Why the Leopard Can Only Catch Prey on Its Left Side.”
At one time leopards did not know how to catch animals for food. Knowing that the cat was very [skillful] in this way, Leopard one day went to Cat and asked very politely if she would teach him the art. Cat readily consented.
The first thing Leopard had to learn was to hide among the bushes by the roadside so that he would not be seen by any animal passing by. Next, he must learn how to move noiselessly through the woods. He must never allow the animal he chased to know that he was following it. The third great principle was how to use his left paws and side in springing upon his prey.
Having taught him these three things, Cat requested him to go and practice them well. When he had learned them thoroughly he could return to her and she would give him more lessons in hunting.

What groups were not given freedoms and rights in the Constitution?
Answer: Black Americans and Women
Explanation:
When the Constitution was drawn up in the Constitutional Convention, certain groups were not catered for.
One of those groups were Black Americans. At the time, the southern economy was heavily dependent on slave labor so they did not want the enslaved people to gain freedoms and fought against it. They denied them the right to vote as well and during censuses did not count them as full human beings.
Some of these injustices were reversed after the Civil war but racial inequality was openly practiced for a long time afterwards until reforms at a Federal level (such as the Civil Rights Act) reduced most of them.
Women also were disenfranchised in a very patriarchal society. They were not allowed to vote and could not even some political offices. This led to the Suffrage movements of the 19th and 20th centuries that eventually got Congress to pass laws allowing women to vote. Congress has since then passed more laws aimed at reducing and eliminating discrimination on the grounds of being a woman since then.

Directions: Read the following and create a flow chart reflecting the Amendment Process. Upload the completed chart. You can use Word or an online tool.
The authority to amend the Constitution of the United States (Links to an external site.) is derived from Article V of the Constitution (Links to an external site.). After Congress proposes an amendment, the Archivist of the United States, who heads the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), is charged with responsibility for administering the ratification process under the provisions of 1 U.S.C. 106b (Links to an external site.). The Archivist has delegated many of the ministerial duties associated with this function to the Director of the Federal Register. Neither Article V of the Constitution nor section 106b describe the ratification process in detail. The Archivist and the Director of the Federal Register follow procedures and customs established by the Secretary of State, who performed these duties until 1950, and the Administrator of General Services, who served in this capacity until NARA assumed responsibility as an independent agency in 1985.
The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by constitutional convention. The Congress proposes an amendment in the form of a joint resolution. Since the President does not have a constitutional role in the amendment process, the joint resolution does not go to the White House for signature or approval. The original document is forwarded directly to NARA's Office of the Federal Register (OFR) for processing and publication. The OFR adds legislative history notes to the joint resolution and publishes it in slip law format. The OFR also assembles an information package for the States which includes formal "red-line" copies of the joint resolution, copies of the joint resolution in slip law format, and the statutory procedure for ratification under 1 U.S.C. 106b.
The Archivist submits the proposed amendment to the States for their consideration by sending a letter of notification to each Governor along with the informational material prepared by the OFR. The Governors then formally submit the amendment to their State legislatures or the state calls for a convention, depending on what Congress has specified. In the past, some State legislatures have not waited to receive official notice before taking action on a proposed amendment. When a State ratifies a proposed amendment, it sends the Archivist an original or certified copy of the State action, which is immediately conveyed to the Director of the Federal Register. The OFR examines ratification documents for facial legal sufficiency and an authenticating signature. If the documents are found to be in good order, the Director acknowledges receipt and maintains custody of them. The OFR retains these documents until an amendment is adopted or fails, and then transfers the records to the National Archives for preservation.
A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States). When the OFR verifies that it has received the required number of authenticated ratification documents, it drafts a formal proclamation for the Archivist to certify that the amendment is valid and has become part of the Constitution. This certification is published in the Federal Register and U.S. Statutes at Large and serves as official notice to the Congress and to the Nation that the amendment process has been completed.
In a few instances, States have sent official documents to NARA to record the rejection of an amendment or the rescission of a prior ratification. The Archivist does not make any substantive determinations as to the validity of State ratification actions, but it has been established that the Archivist's certification of the facial legal sufficiency of ratification documents is final and conclusive.
In recent history, the signing of the certification has become a ceremonial function attended by various dignitaries, which may include the President. President Johnson signed the certifications for the 24th and 25th Amendments as a witness, and President Nixon similarly witnessed the certification of the 26th Amendment along with three young scholars. On May 18, 1992, the Archivist performed the duties of the certifying official for the first time to recognize the ratification of the 27th Amendment, and the Director of the Federal Register signed the certification as a witness.

Write a essay on whatever you want. I don't really care what it's about just wanna see what you come up with. Better one will be marked brainlelest
Answer:
“Knowledge is dangerous. Once you know something, you can't get rid of it. You have to carry it. Always.” - Samantha Shannon In the science fiction novel “Flowers for Algernon'' by Daniel Keys. Charlie a autistic adult, is given a surgery that is supposed to make him smarter. In “Flowers for Algernon'' the surgery has improved Charlie’s quality of life for example: In the short time Charlie was smart he made a major contribution to science, since the surgery made him more emotionally aware Charlie was able to see that he loves Miss Kinnian, and upon his return to Donnegan’s Plastic Box Company he sees that Joe Carp and Frank Reilly truly are his friends.
In the short period of time Charlie was smart he was able to make a major contribution to science. Charlie discovers the effects of the surgery on both him and Algernon. “The unforeseen development, which I have taken the liberty of calling the Algernon-Gordon Effect, is the logical extension of the entire intellectual speed-up. The hypothesis here proven may be described simply in the following terms: Artificially increased intelligence deteriorates at a rate of time directly proportional to the quantity of the increase.”(Progress Report 13 June 5) If Charlie wouldn’t have had the surgery he couldn’t have found this important discovery, which is beneficial information to psychologists and brain surgeons everywhere. Another side effect Charlie discovers is that death is an inevitable outcome of the surgery. “Algernon died two days ago. Dissection shows my predictions were right. His brain had decreased in weight and there was a general smoothing out of cerebral convolutions as well as a deepening and broadening of brain fissures.”(Progress Report 13 June 10) Since the results of the surgery had already been published it is unknown whether or not other surgeons had yet again performed the same surgery, but if his progress reports are read there is a chance nobody would die because of the surgery.
Since the surgery made Charlie more emotionally aware he was able to see that he loves Miss Kinnian. When Charlie asked Miss Kinnian to go to dinner with him he noticed features about her he didn’t see before. “I don’t understand why I never noticed how beautiful Miss Kinnian really is. She has brown eyes and feathery brown hair that comes to the top of her neck. She’s only thirty-four! I think from the beginning I had the feeling that she was an unreachable genius-and very, very old. Now every time I see her she grows younger and more lovely.” (Progress Report 11 April 28) Now that Charlie's mental functioning has improved it has also improved his emotional functioning, so he is now capable of feeling complex emotions such as being ashamed, nervous, or love. Another thing that was worth noting was that the thought of leaving Miss Kinnian made Charlie sad. “ ”You’ll see how different branches of learning are related. There are many levels, Charlie like steps on a giant ladder that take you up higher and higher to see more and more of the world around you. I can see only a little bit of that, Charlie, and I won’t go much higher than I am now, but you’ll keep climbing up and up, and see more and more, and each step will open new worlds that you never knew existed. (...) The thought of leaving Miss Kinnian made me sad. I’m in love with Miss Kinnian.”
