I can remember trying to explain to some RAF folks I was stationed with how things work here in the USA. They couldn't believe that we elected our sheriffs. Our 2nd Amendment mystified them. Our Army/Air National Guard mystified them...how can a state have an army of it's own? In my 25 years in the US Air Force and Air National Guard I worked with many Brits, Irish, and Scots who having met Americans though the US military, joined our military to become US citizens. I even had a roommate in the Air Force in 1973 who from Canada, but joined the USAF to fight the Communists. Thank you Doctor Barry. As usual, a very good lesson.
Thank you dr Barry for your wonderful cultural documentary channel. I gathered main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s first of all I looked up for definition of republic is form or government in which state is ruled by representative of the citizen body . USA is federal constitutional republic, in which the president of untied states ( the head of state and head of government) , Congress, judiciary share powers reserved to th national government, and the federal government shared sovereignty with the state government. The divine right means the right that is supposedly given to a king or given by god to rule a country. The Christian kings of Europe once believed they were answerable to no one except god . This idea became known as the divine right of kings . The divine right was ancient idea that began with Europe medieval kings . They claimed that they had been chosen by god and were his representative on earth . There were religious movements in early America was dominated by Christianity although Judaism was practiced in small communities after 1654 . Christianity domination included Anglicans , baptists , Catholics , congregations , German , pietists, Lutherans , Methodists , Quakers among them .
Love hearing history & so relatable because it was a roadmap for us from many areas like the history of our names, forms of governments, or customs. Thanks
Hi, Neighbor and betrween the way I feel about taxation without representation, the T.V.A. and the 'Communistwealth of Virginia' and the blowhard hot air capitol of the states and probably the world, D.C., ain't much changed in a long time. Hope all is well there and the grass grows on. BLESS Yall Buddy! Thanks!
The writers of the US Constitution essentially invented this presidential form of government. Historically, in other places, this form has been shown to lead to strongman presidents since the Chief Executive is only minimally accountable to the legislative branch or even the judiciary. It is time, I think, to replace this system with a parliament in which members of this body are elected by a system called mixed member proportional representation.
Last part of my research Catholicism was first came to territories now forming USA just before the Protestant reformations ( 1517 ) with Spanish conquistadors and settlers in present - day Florida ( 1513 ) and the south west . Term Canaan means to be brought down by heavy load , also means “ humble “ “ subdued “ , “ merchant “ . In Hebrew bible , Canaan was son of ham and a grandson of Noah who rounded canaanite tribe . Modern scholarship considers that the Israelites emerged from group of indigenous Canaanites and people canaanites and other . The term Canaan during the z and ancient Egyptian texts use the term “ Canaan “ to refer to an Egyptian ruled colony whose boundaries generally corroborated the definition. Bounded to the west by the Mediterranean Sea , to the north in vicinity of Hama th in Syria . All of us know that Israelites were mistreated badly and , king pharaoh enslaved them . They escaped with prophet Moses, crossing Red Sea , great miracle splitting of sea and drowning of pharaoh and his army and , saved them . Holy Quran verse ( remember ( means children of isreal ) when we rescued from pharaoh people , who were afflicting you with the worst torment, killing your sons and , letting your women alive . And that was a great trial from your lord ). New Canaan town , Connecticut state . I hope you like my research. Good luck to you your family friends.
