The learning activities for the module had you read and review the U. S. News and World Report article that ranked the states on a wide-range of metric. For your
assignment, you should revisit that report and focus on 2 of the large topic
categories (Healthcare, Education, Economy, Infrastructure, Opportunity, Fiscal
Stability, Crime and corrections, and Natural Environment). You should use the same
two categories as you answer the following questions.
1. What are the categories you've selected to focus on from the report? What
made you select them? How much can a state shape the outcome of these
categories in their state versus how dependent they are upon the actions of
the national government?
2. What does this type of raport not capture? In other words, what are the
shortcomings of creating a ranked list of states? What impact does this report
have on the actions of state officials or citizens?
3. Do you agree with the report's ranking of Michigan? Why? Look ahead 5 years.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.  

the answer is d. selective incorporation. (apex)

from the religious point of view, the conflicts began because of the enmity between catholic and protestants. in 1649, at the insistence of baltimore, the colonial assembly approved the act of religious tolerance, the first law in the colonies granting freedom of worship, though only for christians. in 1654, however, with the protestants of maryland in the majority, the act was revoked. the almost civil war broke out and order was not restored until 1658, when lord baltimore was returned to power.

on the issue of class conflict, the chesapeake region offered few economic opportunities to contract employees who had served their term of obligation. even with the small amount of capital needed to grow tobacco, former hired servants at best became subsistence farmers, a mature class for those called to rebellion, such as those proposed by nathaniel bacon. as the number of new hired workers declined because of limited chances of progress and reports of severe treatment, they were replaced by african slaves.

from the racial point of view, after 1660, the chesapeake colonies imposed laws that defined slavery as a lifelong and hereditary condition based on race. this made slaves profitable because planters could rely not only on their work but also on their children. the slave population, which numbered four thousand in virginia and maryland in 1675, grew significantly by the end of the century.

living during the great depression had a major affect on the mentality many people. a good portion of people who lived during that time do not trust banks. this is likely the result of the many widespread bank failures in the 30s that caused people to lose their life savings.
