    As America was developing as a new, independent country, many topics were up for debate. The Constitution was created to answer most of them, but many problems arose that people had trouble defining constitutional or unconstitutional. One of the major issues was the purchasing of the Louisiana Territory from France. The Louisiana Purchase was a worthwhile purchase for America because of the new resources it brought, it doubled the size of the country, strengthened the relationship with the Native Americans, and gave America control of both sides of the Mississippi River.…

In New York the government sees Airbnb as a disruption to existing marketplaces and wants to take preventive action.

    By the year 1920 many Indians have became U.S. citizens, though they did not enjoy the prosperity that other Americans enjoyed during this period. By 1926 the Allotment Act was recognized as a failure and the U.S. Department of Interior, commissioned a survey to document the failure of federal Indian policy (447). Eventually, Congress passed the Indian Reorganization Act, which effectively ended the policy of further allotment and alienation of the Indian land. Even though Congress passed the IRA in 1934 and President Roosevelt signed the law the same year, none of the appropriations approved by this law became available until a year later in 1935 (514). The IRA was created with a noble intention of increasing the responsibility and self-governance of the Indians.…

    There are many points to consider when deciding if an illegal alien should be able to purchase or rent property in America. First, one should consider how long a family of illegal aliens has been in America. For example, if an illegal alien came to America and then had children who would be born American citizens, it would then become necessary for them to find housing. Another thing to consider is if an illegal alien is employed in America and that is their only way of providing for their family. However, one should not be able to just completely disregard the law and not do what is right and necessary to become a citizen of the United States.…

Like many other people the Native Americans believed it was just a way for the United States to spread slavery and some democrats like Fisher Ames believed that expansion in The United States will not “even maintain forms; and as to principles, the otters would as soon obey and give them effect”(Greenberg 55).

    I believe that the diversity of state laws and procedures has many benefits but also many disadvantages. On the one hand, it allows a state to be more flexible, and establish laws that better suit that particular state. On the other hand, however, it becomes a complex issue when every state contains different laws, which generally can confuse people. In the present, we do know that there is no uniformity of all laws nationwide.…

    “No person …shall be…deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation” (Williams). Or so that is what the modern people of the U.S thought. Eminent domain was one of the first powers given to the government from the Fifth Amendment. Even though it was one of the first powers that was given to the government, it has become one of the most abused recently in numerous court cases. The vast majority of them end with the government winning with a rebuttal stating that no one can take property without due process of law or just compensation.…
