Back in the early days of independant America there had been an ethical dilemma on whether or not they should ratify The U.S constitution. The main two arguments were whether citizens chose to maintain the status quo, or switch to a more centralized government. The two debates were backed up by James madison who wrote the Federalist No.10 for ratification and Patrick Henry who gave a speech against it. In the document James warns about how “there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party, or an obnoxious individual.” referring to someone or a group of people who could possibly create unique factions between on another and disrupt a potential republic.

The Constitution of 1876 was not the first constitution Texas had declared for itself. It was actually the fifth. When Texas had been released from Mexico's rule in 1836 it hastily drafted a constitution to basically cover itself from from any attacks. It was rushed and therefore nine years later another was written just before the annexation. Then in 1866 Texas after another constitution was written to changes with the times, Texas was trying to rejoin the federal Union and was required to write another new constitution.
The young nation, barely three years old, was dying. Ten years after the Declaration of Independence, America was struggling to hold itself together. The Articles of Confederation, designed during the Revolution, demolished even the inkling of monarchy by forcing the national government to abide by the whim of the states. During the Revolutionary War the states held together out of necessity, but after the war, the states became hostile to their neighbors. It quickly became evident that a serious crisis has settled upon the United States.
The Australian constitution are written sets of rules that the country is controlled by. The Commonwealth of Australia was established on the first of January in 1901. It is a document which creates how the system of the parliament works and who has the right to make laws. The federal and state Parliaments have the power to construct laws that allow Australian citizens with their freedom of speech. The constitution is a necessary part of the nation as it represents the progress of the colonies turning into states.
The Australian and American Constitution : A Comparison Both the United States and Australia were colonized by the British Empire. British colonization in America began in 1607 in Jamestown. However, after the American War of Independence in 1783 , Great Britain had to find a new place to colonize. There was a great desire for a convict settlement because of overcrowding in British prisons, so in 1788 colonization began in Australia. When settlers arrived at the Sydney Cove, they completely disregarded the aboriginals and declared it a "no man's land".
Amendments protect our rights, some Amendments are added to fix other amendments that were unclear or not proposed correctly they are minor changes or adjustment to a document. Some amendments in the constitution repeal others that they had to change for a variety of reasons it was causing to many problems, misunderstandings etc. The 18th and the 21st amendment in this case do. The 18th amendment was a national prohibition it prohibited the production, sale, and transport of "intoxicating liquors", the 21st amendment repealed the 18th amendment but changed transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws and was prohibited.
The government of the United States of America had its infrastructure set in stone in the span of the year 1787 (National Constitution Center, n.d.) when this country’s founding fathers put their futures into their own hands and laid down various ground rules for the government to follow by constructing the United States Constitution. Among the words written in the U.S. Constitution, Articles I, II, and III records the given powers of the United States Congress, President, and the three branches of the national government, Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. These rules give many abilities to these parts of the government, but there are also restrictions given to them as well. Through the United States Constitution, the Congress is given
INTRO: So, what is a republic? A republic is a democratic nation in which the highest public office is held not by a monarch, who inherits the position by birth, but instead by a citizen chosen on merit. Australia is a monarchy because it was colonised by the British in 1788. With them, they brought their lifestyles, culture and system of government.
Today Australia prides itself on being a place of fairness and equity for all its citizens. But the Australian Constitution still does not recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians as the first people of this land. Importantly, we now know that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their cultures form part of the longest culture on Earth and evidence of their presence in Australia is now dated back over 60,000 years. It is only right that modern Australia should recognise and acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and culture - past and present - in our Constitution to record their valued place as part of this country and our national identity. Most of the states - Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia have already amended their Constitutions to formally recognise Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Australians as the first people and nations of their jurisdictions.
Paragraph 1: The Australian constitution is what’s known as a set of rules in which Australia is run. The Australian constitution came into effect on the 1st of January in 1901, which was brought in by the Commonwealth of Australia. It has shaped the Australian society is now. It describes the composition, roles and powers of the federal Parliament.
I am Arthur Washington of Virginia and I believe that we should fully back this new constitution that has been created in Philadelphia. The current system we use the Articles of Confederation is too weak and broken for us to ever be able to correctly ratify it. We can not be a nation that is weakly connected together as it is slowing down the progress of this great nation. We need to remember that “Independent America was not composed of detached and distant territories, but of one connected, fertile, wide spreading country”(Jay 55).
Interest rates in the UK are currently held at a record of 0.5%, the England governor plans on increasing it in the year 2015. This means when credit is borrowed by an organisation i.e. William King it will help them to finance their business activities; however the interest rate is then charged when the company pays back the money. For example an annual interest rate means if a company takes out £100 if the interest rate is 5% the company will have to pay £5 for every time £100 was saved or borrowed. If there is an increase in the interest rate, customers with debts will have less income to spend because they will be paying interest to the bank which they took a loan from. Sales can fall from the organisation as a result.
Australia: (Separation of powers) America: (Separation of powers) The Constitution divides power into three arms; Legislative, executive, and judiciary Power is meant to be divided so as to oppose arbitrary rule by an absolute monarch, though executive is drawn from the legislature. • Governor-General acting on advice of PM = executive & Parliament = legislature The Constitution divides power into the same three branches Three clear branches • Pres = executive & Congress = legislature Australia: (Legislature) America: (Legislature)
