The Supreme court decided in Pierce Vs Society of sisters that an Oregon public school law is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
In 1922, Oregon state made a law that children between the ages of 8 and 16 must compulsorily attend the public school in their districts. The society of sister and another private institution who had private schools in the state challenged the law and they named the governor of the Oregon state at that time [Piece] as the respondent in the case. The court held that the law is unconstitutional because it denied the parents and the guardians the rights to decide the type of education that their children get.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The careers of Irving Berlin and John Muir might be connected in that both were immigrants that came to the United States and were very successful in their respective fields. Muir was an immigrant from Scotland and Berlin, an immigrant from Russia. Both men are considered to be an icon in America.
John Muir became a lover of nature and co-founded the Sierra Leone Club and was a strong promoter of the creation of Yosemite Park, in California.
Irving Berlin was an immigrant from Russia that developed artistic and musical talents and wrote classics songs as "White Christmas" and an emblematic song for the US citizens: "God Bless America."
The iconic cartoon that you are talking about is probably a man standing on top of a country with his legs spread wide.
This cartoon suggests that Europeans are powerful enough to subdue an entire continent. This was a satirical image that was drawn during the time of the colonization of the British Empire in Africa.<span>
This image was inspired by the plans of the British empire to create Telegraph lines all over Africa promoting the further spread of its colonies through faster communication. The picture depicts the colonial mentality of the British empire in general as well as the struggle of Africans to claim their own land.</span>
There are multiple reasons for this but the most significant are:
- They were fighting against each other constantly; the leaders that followed after the creation of the enormous Macedonian Empire that was stretching on three continents, divided the empire into few parts, and instead of maybe acting like a confederation so that they can preserve the strength, wealth, and prosper of the empire, they were waging wars against each other and weakened all of the parts of the empire that they were ruling over, which in the end led to the Romans being able to take over the territories in Africa, Europe, Asian Minor and parts of the Middle East.
- The territory left from the previous emperors was too big for a single ruler; the territory left by Alexander of Macedon (the Great) was enormous, and it included lots of different ethnicity, religions, languages, cultures, and also there were lots of people that wanted to be out of the Macedonian Empire, so dividing it into smaller parts so that better and more efficient ruling can be implemented seemed logical, but unfortunately it turned out to just backfire on the leaders that were ruling the parts of the Empire.
