Delegate

The Constitution was amended and formed through vast amounts of compromise. The largest and most debated controversy across history was the issue of slavery. Delegates from the South claimed that slavery was essential to the economy of the region, while Northern delegates wanted to make the slave trade illegal. Slavery is seen in the aforementioned Three-Fifths Compromise that gave political representation based on population of the slave states by counting slaves…

Orleans on July 30th, 1866 two hundred Black Union Army veterans marched for the right to vote towards the Mechanics Institute where a Union of delegates where convened to debate the fate of Black suffrage. Local Ex-Confederate leaders opposed the march with an ex-rebel police force. The police force clashes with the black veterans along with the delegates resulting with an estimated fifty people killed and two hundred severely wounded when it is over. Not one arrest…

In high school, I co-founded a non-profit called ChemoCare that coordinates events to educate children about cancer and creates cloth chemotherapy bag covers that go over the infusion. Through this, I gained the ability to collaborate, delegate responsibilities and develop an independent project. Another part of this project involved communicating with hospitals to plan delivery events, resulting in the distribution of over 1000 chemotherapy bag covers to children with cancer. I am not…

By following five key rules, we were able to achieve the wedding we imagined, without breaking the bank. In fact, our wedding only cost…

Should the State have more vote based on its size or population? Delegates congregated about whether or not to have the vote become powerful in the area of the state or through its people. Larger states viewed the same number of votes as unconstitutional. Smaller states resided with tradition, wanting to keep the one vote per state. However, just because a state is larger does not mean it has more people. I believe that a compromise of these things are the best method to settle this dispute.…

Confederate States on March 2, 1861 after replacing Sam Houston (who would not pledge his allegiance with the Confederacy) with Edward Clark as governor. The secession was decided in the Texas Secession Convention where delegates chose in a vote of 166 to 8 for secession. So why did the delegates overwhelmingly vote for secession and war? Texans voted for secession and war in the American Civil War because of their loyalty to their state, state’s rights, and slavery. Many Texans felt a strong…

He was also appointed the first secretary of the treasury by George Washington. However, in 1795, he…

performed properly. Empowerment is essential as it stands as the only practical way to expand and extend the leader's effectivenessand pursues constant improvement. Empowerment and delegation performed properly hold a similar meaning for me. If a leader delegates in an effective yet compassionate way he or she is getting the job done while developing and keeping a relationship wih their employees.

Four years after the Revolutionary War the Constitutional Convention starts. 55 state delegates meet in Philadelphia to fix the Articles of Confederation. After many hardships between the states the Constitution of the United States of America is born. I think the Constitutional Convention is the most significant event because it gave us our freedom. At Constitutional Convention there were a lot of compromises. One was between the Virginia plan and the New Jersey plan. The Virginia plan called…
