1.Northwest Ordinance of 1787- The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 layer out the governmental rules for the Northwest Territory. It stated that three to five states would be formed out of the existing Northwest Territory. The Ordinance contained three stages that the territory would go through in order to form the states. In the first step of the Ordinance the region was completely controlled by the government.
There has also been housing construction without taken into account transportation infrastructure. On of the things Oleszek plans to do to fix this issue is linking land use plans with the state transportation. She also plans to establish a region wide plan to cover other areas. This will be done by bringing all members of our community together to work on this key issue. Many reasons to support these changes include how it will reduce traffic preventing street noises in residential neighborhoods, etc.
According to an encyclopedia source,by 1919,”the need for a planned system of national highways became discernible with the proliferating common use of cars in the United States”(Source #4).In addition, another source claims that “more than 90 percent of the nation’s households have access to automobiles”(Source #7).As directly indicated by these two sources,automoibles weren’t a luxury,but rather they were true necessities for many. While cars were being produced between 1908 and 1927,specifically that of Henry Ford’s Model T,many people now wanted to travel however needed an effective system that would be able to save them much more time. As a result,these very crucial interstate highways have ultimately expanded
Self Defence, or Murder? On March 5, 1770, on the main road of the colony of Boston, the soldiers of Captain Preston fired their guns towards the colonist who were violating their personal space. What is unknown is to weather Captain Preston said the order to fire the guns or not. Of those who were there to presence the act, few who are brave enough have come to speak for those in trial.
Great Post! I believe Columbus could have worked alongside the natives rather than trying to enslave them especially when they were so avid in welcoming him. For example, today the U.S. is seen as a nation that takes what it wants (i.e. the scourge of the world), however, if we take the time to understand others and their traditions we might find ourselves alongside those we are working with to be happier people. Therefore, if Columbus could have understood this notion, he might have had more supportive individuals who welcomed his religion and
Three problems stated in "Texas Politics", is one, build more roads, make cars cleaner and safer, create alternatives to transportation by auto mobile, and persuade people to use them. The pros for building more roads or at least expanding current ones would be better flow of traffic to different locations. The cons for this means waiting out construction but also that means tax dollars spent on the road rather than to something else that might need the attention instead. Pros to making cars cleaner and safer, it would make less pollution for the atmosphere and also cut down on the use of natural resources. The cons would be higher price tag on the vehicles as we have already seen with the current smart cars.
Are you a dreamer? Do you know of a dreamer? Do you know the struggle of being undocumented? If you answered no, then let me tell you about sanctuary cities and immigration in our country. Specifically, I’ll tell you about the motivations behind sanctuary cities, the risks in becoming a sanctuary city, and the places with the highest deportation numbers.
People who used the United States highways at the time struggled with detours and traffic jams. The short-sighted construction of the roads failed to take these issues into account, and the highways consequently became very inconvenient and time-consuming (Weingroff). Not only would traffic jams and detours cause unnecessary consumption of fuel, but it also squanders productive time. Although productivity is difficult to measure, the Federal Highway Administration estimates around a billion dollars worth of productivity lost because of the poorly constructed highways. Individually, these losses may seem minimal.
Living in the city of Denver can have its perks such as the beautiful mountain views and many outdoor activities. It can also become a hassle, like traveling from one place to another, whether on foot, bicycle, or auto. Nevertheless, Colorado’s growing population and economy are of interest to many of its resident voters who partake in decisions of proposed laws and newly passed laws. The State of Colorado is growing rapidly, economy is rising and new laws are taking effect.
Turn on any national news channel today and there will undoubtedly be reporting regarding illegal immigration, border protection and sanctuary cities. All are hot-button, current event issues in the United States, and both citizens and non-citizens alike are sharply divided as to how to address and solve this nation-wide problem. The concepts of sanctuary cities and sanctuary states are relatively new in modern American nomenclature. While different organizations have slightly different definitions for these terms, the consensus is that sanctuary cities and sanctuary states are locales which have declared that illegal, undocumented people who commit minor crimes will not be turned over to U.S. Immigrations and Customs (I.C.E.) agents upon arrest or capture.
No longer was small-town America able to stay insular, and cities within more isolated regions of the country saw growth. As highways grew, so did the number of people traveling on them. The highway has earned a reputation for danger over the years. Murdered hitchhikers and similar crimes lead to a lack of connection between people or fondness for the open road. Highways were not only an opportunity for growth, they were an opportunity for exploitation.
Sister Lucy Poulin once said, “We try to be a welcoming community for people who are left out in our society. We help people heal and become who God is calling them to be” (The Emily Fund, n.d.). In the case of Columbus, Indiana, members of the community do not always use God in such a positive way. Columbus is definitely a close knit community, but not always a welcoming one. There are two kinds of close knit communities; there is the kind that is closely knit by the members’ ability to be neighborly to everyone, and there is the kind that is so closely knit that it is does not allow any room for outsiders.
Today, North Carolina 's eastern counties continue to lack the modern transportation infrastructure needed to improve safety, maintain quality of life and support economic progress required in the 21st century. There are 32 counties east of Interstate I-95. If we do not consider Interstate I-40, 28 of these coastal counties, which represent a total population of nearly 1.3 million according to 2010 US Census data, have no interstate access whatsoever even though North Carolina currently maintains over 1300 miles of interstate routes through the rest of the state. This despite its residents that paid taxes directly and indirectly into a system for more than 5 decades.
This has been the way of the world since the beginning. Urban sprawl in an ever-occurring problem in America and it continues to grow affecting ecosystems, down town areas, and smaller cites. Urban Sprawl is a problem that will have severe effects for all life if left
People believe that the infrastructure will struggle to hold the larger population and consider this a very real excuse not to allow an increase in population. While it is true that traffic will congest, the solution is very obvious; simply build new infrastructure. Luckily the government will have the ability to afford the new roads and flyovers due to the extra tax money from immigrants in their new jobs, plus the money saved from immigration enforcement. To say that it is an unnecessary cost is ridiculous as improved infrastructure is always an advantage.
