The document compares the governments of Athens and the United States. It notes that in Athens only men could vote, they had to be citizens whose parents were also citizens, and slaves could not vote. The US requires voters to be 18 years or older and citizens. To be president, one must be 35 years old, a citizen, and limited to two terms. Both governments have legislative assemblies, but in the US citizens can choose to go to war while in Athens this was decided by the assembly.

The document discusses voting in the United States and ancient Athens. It provides information about voter eligibility, participation rates, and the governmental structures of each place. In the U.S., around 227 million people can vote and eligibility is broader than in ancient Athens, where only landowning men could participate. Both societies had legislative bodies where laws were discussed, but Athens did not have a separate judicial branch like the U.S. system. Key differences included longer terms for U.S. presidents compared to one-year terms for Athens' consuls.Civic participation and voting rights2

The document compares civic participation and voting rights in ancient Athens and the United States. In Athens, only free adult male citizens could vote, while women, slaves, foreigners, and those who did not own land could not participate. Over time, more groups gained suffrage in the US, such as women with the 19th Amendment and those aged 18-20 with the 26th Amendment. Both societies originally limited voting rights but expanded participation, though the US system is a republic while Athens had a direct democracy.Untitled presentation(4)

The document compares and contrasts the governments of Ancient Athens and the United States. In Ancient Athens, Pericles led for 30 years and was elected annually. Only men could participate in the democracy; votes were written on broken pots. The government had three branches: legislative, judicial, and executive. The U.S. government also has three branches and voting rights have expanded to include women and those over 18 years of age. Both systems are democratic in nature but differ in who was allowed to vote and whether leaders could be voted out of office.Anitent Athens and U.S govenerment

In ancient Athens, only free adult men who owned land and were born in Athens had the right to vote, making up only about 20% of the population. These citizens were required to participate in voting. 500 names were drawn each year to serve as lawmakers. In contrast, the United States initially only allowed 6% of the population to vote, but voting rights have expanded over time to allow all citizens 18 years and older to vote, regardless of land ownership, birthplace, race, or gender. Both societies practiced some form of democracy and required citizens to participate in voting.Constitutionalconvention1787 131122112046-phpapp01

The 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia debated major issues around representation in the new federal government. The Virginia Plan proposed representation based on population, favoring large states, while the New Jersey Plan proposed equal representation for each state, favoring small states. Roger Sherman created The Great Compromise with two houses: the House based on population and the Senate with two members per state. They also debated whether slaves should be counted as whole persons to determine representation. The Three-Fifths Compromise was created to count each slave as three-fifths of a person for both representation and taxation purposes.Athenian presentation

Ancient Athens is considered the beginning of democracy for several reasons. Male citizens were divided into tribes and each tribe selected 50 representatives to serve in the assembly, extending representation and voting rights. An assembly of at least 6,000 male citizens was held where laws were passed. Additionally, 500 citizens were selected by lot to serve on the council for a year. This established one of the first direct democracies in Athens.Lesson 2 Philadelphia Convention

The Philadelphia Convention was convened in May 1787 to address problems in governing the United States under the Articles of Confederation. 55 delegates attended, though key figures like Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry did not. James Madison had called for revisions to improve the Articles of Confederation. The convention decided to create an entirely new constitution instead, keeping their discussions secret. They debated plans like the Virginia Plan, which proposed a strong national government, and the New Jersey Plan, which proposed keeping power with the states. Through compromise, they developed a new constitution with a balanced federal government consisting of three branches having checks on each other.Constitutional convention

The document discusses the Articles of Confederation, the first governing framework for the United States, which gave states independence but little cooperation. It led to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 where delegates from South Carolina, including Henry Laurens and Charles Pinckney, supported a stronger national government with three branches and representation based on population rather than equal representation between states. The delegates also agreed to the 3/5 Compromise to determine representation and that the federal government would not regulate the slave trade for 20 years.the US (United States) : Comparative Political Systems

The document discusses the three branches of the US government established by the Constitution:
1) The legislative branch is Congress, which has the power to make laws. It is divided into the House of Representatives and the Senate.
2) The executive branch is led by the President, who enforces and carries out the laws.
3) The judicial branch is the Supreme Court and lower federal courts, which settle disputes over laws and can declare laws unconstitutional.
The system of separation of powers and checks and balances ensures no single branch becomes too powerful.12 constitutional convention-1_3 (1) (1)

In Athens, only adult male citizens could participate in the assembly and other governmental functions, while wealth was also a requirement, whereas American democracy allows participation regardless of wealth or gender.

The Constitutional Convention began on May 25, 1787 in Philadelphia to improve the failing Articles of Confederation. George Washington presided over the convention and James Madison took extensive notes. The delegates debated issues such as the balance of power between federal and state governments, representation in Congress, and the divisive issue of slavery. They proposed plans like the Virginia Plan for a stronger national government and the New Jersey Plan favoring state power. The Great Compromise created a bicameral legislature to balance state and population-based representation. Further compromises addressed slavery, including the Three-Fifths Compromise to determine representation and taxes based on population including slaves.Izayah and hershey project

The Senate represents all US citizens, while the House represents specific districts. In Ancient Athens, the main legislative bodies were the Assembly, which had 6000 members, and the Council, which met 40 times per year and was composed of 500 members selected by lot. Both systems rely on voting and multiple legislative groups to make important political decisions.Why Automatic Delegates are illegal in the conventions of the Utah Republican...

The document argues that there should be no automatic delegates at Republican conventions in Utah this year. It presents the goal of grassroots control of conventions and outcomes. It complains that grassroots control has been undermined by credentialing irregularities perpetrated by party leaders over many decades. A committee met with the party chair to request stopping the insertion of illegitimate delegates, but he declined. The document discusses getting grassroots control by understanding, complying with, enforcing, and being accountable to rules. It asks if the chair is committed to this principle, given predecessors' failure to comply with rules regarding delegate lists.Constitutional Convention

The 14th Amendment establishes that persons born in the US are citizens. National citizenship also extends to state citizenship. Naturalized citizens undergo a legal process to become citizens, while those born in the US are natural born citizens. Entire populations can also be granted citizenship through treaties or statutes. To qualify for naturalization, one must be 18, a lawful permanent resident for 5+ years, have good moral character, be committed to the US Constitution, and be able to read, write, speak, and understand English. The US recognizes dual citizenship for those born abroad to US citizens or born in other countries.China and tibet

China invaded Tibet in 1950 and has exerted control over the region since. The Chinese government has tortured and inflicted cruel treatment on Tibetans over many years. Tibetans have been denied freedom of movement within Tibet and the right to leave and return. China claims Tibet has historically been part of China, while Tibetans have a history of independence from China for over 1300 years and want freedom from Chinese rule to preserve their culture. Tibet is considered a communist country under Chinese control, where Tibetans must follow Chinese rules or risk imprisonment, torture or death for dissent.Greek Gods and Goddess, myths, and heros

In Ancient Athens, only male landowners were allowed to vote, while women, slaves, and children could not. The government consisted of an assembly of at least 6,000 citizens, a council of 500 citizens selected by lot, and courts ranging from 201-501 citizens. In the United States, anyone over 18 can vote as long as they are a citizen. Key differences are who was allowed to vote and how leaders were selected - in Athens leaders were selected by lot or assemblies, while the US holds elections.

The ancient Athenian government had three main legislative bodies:
1) The Assembly, which was open to all male citizens and was responsible for major decisions like declaring war.
2) The Council of 500, which coordinated important activities and consisted of 500 members.

The document summarizes key events and discussions around the creation of the US Constitution at the Philadelphia Convention in 1787. Delegates debated plans for the structure of the new national government, including the Virginia Plan which proposed a strong central government with three branches, and the New Jersey Plan with one legislative house and equal state representation. They reached compromises, such as the Connecticut Compromise which created a bicameral legislature. Slavery was also a divisive issue, resolved by the Three-Fifths Compromise counting slaves in population partially for representation. The delegates ultimately agreed to the US Constitution establishing a federal republic with separation of powers and checks and balances.Constitutional Convention 1787

The 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia debated major issues around representation of states in the new federal government. The Virginia Plan proposed representation based on population, favoring large states, while the New Jersey Plan proposed equal representation for each state, favoring small states. Roger Sherman created the Great Compromise, establishing a bicameral Congress with proportional representation in the House and equal representation in the Senate. They also debated whether slaves should count toward state population. The Three-Fifths Compromise counted each slave as three-fifths of a person to determine taxes and representation.Final review 2

Athens is considered the beginning of democracy as it did not have kings and power was divided among many groups. Every ten days, Athenian citizens would come together and vote on new laws, though slaves, women and foreigners could not participate. Athens had a direct democracy and was split into the assembly, courts and council, with males over 30 eligible to become officials on a rotating basis. In contrast, the US government has civil participation and independent media, though originally only white male landowners could vote. Both systems have legislative bodies that make decisions, though Athens concentrated power in three groups while the US divides it between two branches.Athens goverment and polis
