Meme Assignment

                                                MEME ASSIGNMENT




During the crucial 1787 ratification process of the US Constitution, two major political movements—the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists—rose to popularity in American history. Federalists supported a powerful central government, and their ranks included notable individuals like John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton. They held that upholding law and order, defending individual liberties, and fostering economic stability all required a strong national authority.

The Constitution, according to the Federalists, offers a well-balanced system of checks and balances that prevents any one branch of government from growing too dominant. They therefore vigorously defended the document. The Anti-Federalists, who were led by notable individuals like Patrick Henry and George Mason, were on the opposing side of the argument. This group had serious doubts about the viability of a strong central government because they believed it would violate citizens' rights and bring about a kind of despotism akin to that of British rule. A more decentralized structure that would protect state autonomy was advocated by the Anti-Federalists. In order to clearly list and defend people' rights, they also pushed for the adoption of a Bill of Rights. This ideological conflict was expressed in a number of passionate essays and passionate discussions, most famously in the Federalist Papers, which were written by Hamilton, Madison, and Jay in defense of the Constitution, and the Anti-Federalist Papers, which expressed objections and worries. In order to allay the fears of the Anti-Federalists and ensure the broad ratification of the Constitution, which laid the foundation for the American form of government that persists today, the conflict was resolved with the promise of amending the document to add a Bill of Rights.


Self grade- I feel like I deserve 10 points cause this assignment was something really new to me. I gave a lot of time and effort to make sure that my work aligns with the specific requirements.  I think the meme conveys my point quite well. There might have been some errors that I missed, therefore I would still like to hear my professor's perspective.

African Americans have endured a great deal of oppression throughout history, and some forms of it persist now, such as institutional racism. Gentrification is a challenge that many cities encounter. In the movie, cities like Denver and San Francisco are used as examples. In the previous ten years, rent has increased significantly while home prices have doubled. It is said that gentrification preserves and enhances a neighborhood. However, it is a form of class warfare meant to drive out those unable to pay to remain in the targeted neighborhoods. In the movie, a group of citizens demonstrate against the gentrification of their cherished areas and make their voices known. demonstrating once more how the US government grants us permission to engage in these activities.

American foreign policy is based on historical precedents and is changed by changing geopolitical realities while maintaining a balance with national interests, values, and the goal of maintaining international stability. Since its founding, the United States has danced delicately between interventionism and isolationism, changing course according to the situation at hand. Following World War II, the United States took the lead in establishing the post-war international order through organizations like the United Nations, making this period of history significant.   The United States and the Soviet Union fought a global power battle that shaped diplomatic, military, and economic decisions for decades, further defining American foreign policy during the Cold War.

                                                   THE CONSTITUTION The Constitution of the United States, often referred to as the supreme law of the land, is a foundational document that has shaped the nation's history and government since its ratification in 1787. This remarkable document, crafted during the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, serves as a blueprint for the American system of governance. Comprising a preamble and seven articles, it outlines the structure and powers of the federal government, dividing it into three co-equal branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial. The Constitution establishes the principle of checks and balances, ensuring that no one branch becomes too powerful. Furthermore, it delineates the rights and liberties of American citizens through the first ten amendments, collectively known as the Bill of Rights. These amendments safeguard individual freedoms, such as freedom of speech, religion, and the right to a fair trial. The Con
