Answer:
Explanation:
So this is how it ends. The presidency of Donald John Trump, rooted from the beginning in anger, division and conspiracy-mongering, comes to a close with a violent mob storming the Capitol at the instigation of a defeated leader trying to hang onto power as if America were just another authoritarian nation.
The scenes in Washington would have once been unimaginable: A rampage through the citadel of American democracy. Police officers brandishing guns in an armed standoff to defend the House chamber. Tear gas deployed in the Rotunda. Lawmakers in hiding. Extremists standing in the vice president’s spot on the Senate dais and sitting at the desk of the speaker of the House.
The words used to describe it were equally alarming: Coup. Insurrection. Sedition. Suddenly the United States was being compared to a “banana republic” and receiving messages of concern from other capitals. “American carnage,” it turned out, was not what President Trump would stop, as he promised upon taking office, but what he wound up delivering four years later to the very building where he took the oath.
The convulsion in Washington capped 1,448 days of Twitter storms, provocations, race-baiting, busted norms, shock-jock governance and truth-bending from the Oval Office that have left the country more polarized than in generations. Those who warned of worst-case scenarios only to be dismissed as alarmists found some of their darkest fears realized. By day’s end, even some Republicans suggested removing Mr. Trump under the 25th Amendment rather than wait two weeks for the inauguration of President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.
The article continues:
While Washington has seen many protests over the years, including some that turned violent, the uprising on Wednesday was unlike anything that the capital has seen during a transition of power in modern times, literally interrupting the constitutional acceptance of Mr. Biden’s election victory. Mr. Trump all but egged them on during a “Save America March” on the Ellipse south of the White House just as Congress was convening to validate Mr. Biden’s election.
“We will never give up,” Mr. Trump had declared. “We will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore, and that’s what this is all about.”
It ends with this paragraph:
With Mr. Pence unwilling and unable to stop the count, the president’s supporters made it their mission to do it themselves. And for several hours, they succeeded. But after they were finally cleared out of the Capitol, lawmakers resumed the process of ending the Trump presidency, no matter how much he resists.
Answer:
the way i feel about the capital things happen is if i ere there i would fell terroriz and unconmterbal that people knew where i work and could easy to break in but way did they do it that way they could of march around the capital not break onto it they could of done some serious damage

Please help me with my work on amendment work I will give brainliest if you help me.
Answer:
1.An amendment is a formal or official change made to a law, contract, constitution, or other legal document. ... It is based on the verb to amend, which means to change for better. Amendments can add, remove, or update parts of these agreements.
2.The Bill of Rights protects freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, the freedom of assembly and the freedom to petition. It also prohibits unreasonable search and seizure, cruel and unusual punishment and compelled self-incrimination.
Explanation:
I will help find the rest okie
Answer:
1). Amendments are formal or official changes made to the law.
2). Some of the constitutional rights protected by the constitution are the freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, and the right to a fair trial.
3). If people feel that the government is violating their constitutional rights, they can bring a civil action against the government.
4). I'm not sure what this means.
5). Lawyers have an ethical duty to not represent clients who may have adverse interests. Also, if a lawyer is related to a party in the case, it can be seen as a conflict of interest.
6). The purpose of amendments is to provide a law with the protection of the federal government.
7). All the amendments are important, but the Fifth and Tenth Amendments ensure maximum freedom and minimal government intervention. This is more of an opinion question. If you feel differently, feel free to change this.
8). If individual rights were not protected, people would not be able to protest against their leader or injustice. Without the Bill of Rights, the Constitution would fall apart. Since the Constitution is the framework of our government, our nation would also drastically change.
9). I'm not 100% what this is asking.

Jeff is driving from Florida to Georgia and is pulled over by the Georgia Highway Patrol for speeding. The patrol officer searches Jeff’s car and finds 5 pounds of marijuana. He is tried and convicted for trafficking across state lines in a U.S. District Court. He appeals arguing it was an illegal search. Where should his case go next?
Answer: it would depend on the situation.
Explanation:
Unfortunately I don’t have enough info on this alone to make a good call but I can give you this...
The police officer doesn’t have the right to improper searches. That being said the officer may ask for consent to look in the car, but if he is not given permission than he cannot without reason. There are some exceptions however. Police dogs for instance are very good at smelling, and although this problem doesn’t specifically say our officer used a dog, a dog could very well have smelled the drugs. If the dog alerted the officer, then he has a right to search the car. Ultimately I can’t be sure but this is what I will say. The officer was in the wrong. What the man had in his car was plenty illegal (in most states, assuming he went to court would say it was illegal in this one) but regardless he shouldn’t have had his stuff browsed by the officer. The court case would most likely favor the man as he would probably win saying the officer didn’t ask for consent. He still would most likely end up in prison for possession of illegal narcotics and the officer could face a punishment like being fired. Hope it helps.

What was the strategy behind the development of the Hunley submarine?
Answer:
The Hunley Submarine was designed to dive completely below your average Submarine water level in depths. (initially)
Explanation:
First, you should know that " '...Submarines with hull diameters ranging from 4 to 7 meters are restricted to one deck...' " source of this isn't from me.
The Hunley Submarine was made out of 40 feet of bulletproof iron it was the best and the most dangerous creation. Its purpose was to sink down many ships and one of them was the enemy ship, the Union vessel Housatonic. Although it did not change the course of the "Civil War" but it did altered naval warfare forever.
These are what I believe to be the strategy behind the development of"Hunley Submarine" though I could be wrong... Hope this helps you!
Answer:
"The Hunley was initially designed to dive completely below her target while towing behind a floating torpedo on a 200-foot tether. Once the submarine dove and passed under the keel of her target, the torpedo would impact its hull on the other side, in theory causing a devastating explosion that would sink the ship"

How did the Magna Carta, the English Parliament, and the English Bill of Rights impact colonial government?
They led the English colonists to demand representative government.
They supported the colonists’ demands for self-rule.
They encouraged the English colonists to give most people the right to vote.
They inspired the English colonists to create the Constitution.

The Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights affected the colonial government by:
Magna Carta- influenced many other documents for rights; limited powers of king and over time the rights were granted to English people, not just noblemen and freemen
English Bill of Rights- the government was to be based on the laws of Parliament, not the desires of the king; later help create salutary neglect-a hands-off policy that lead the colonists to act on their own

3. Do you believe in the ideas and principles of the Declaration of Independence? If yes, which ones? If no, why not?
4. How can the Declaration of Independence impact future generations?
5. Predict: Which specific groups of people can benefit from the writings of the Declaration of Independence today?
Answer:
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
Answer:
Yes, the declaration of independence is a big thing
