Answer: In the summer of 1787, delegates from the 13 states convened in Philadelphia and drafted a remarkable blueprint for self-government -- the Constitution of the United States. The first draft set up a system of checks and balances that included a strong executive branch, a representative legislature and a federal judiciary.
The Constitution was remarkable, but deeply flawed. For one thing, it did not include a specific declaration - or bill - of individual rights. It specified what the government could do but did not say what it could not do. For another, it did not apply to everyone. The "consent of the governed" meant propertied white men only.
The absence of a "bill of rights" turned out to be an obstacle to the Constitution's ratification by the states. It would take four more years of intense debate before the new government's form would be resolved. The Federalists opposed including a bill of rights on the ground that it was unnecessary. The Anti-Federalists, who were afraid of a strong centralized government, refused to support the Constitution without one.
In the end, popular sentiment was decisive. Recently freed from the despotic English monarchy, the American people wanted strong guarantees that the new government would not trample upon their newly won freedoms of speech, press and religion, nor upon their right to be free from warrantless searches and seizures. So, the Constitution's framers heeded Thomas Jefferson who argued: "A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference."
Explanation:
What are the two main defenses you can use in the event of a discriminatory practice allegation, and what exactly do they involve
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.
The two main defenses you can use in the event of a discriminatory practice allegation are Business necessity and Bonafide Occupation Qualification.
Business necessity. In legal terms, Business necessity means that the company has a justified argument to fire an employee in order to pursue the goals of the company. This is legal resource employers have to support their decisions of laying off employees.
Bonafide Occupation Qualification. This means that there is a valid justification due to gender or age, for not allowing an employee to perform a duty in the workplace. So employers use this Bonafide Occupation Qualification as a legal argument to fire an employee.

What would be the effect on groundwater and surface water of someone having a car that leaks oil and leaves a large oil spill on the pavement? (use the information above to help you)
Answer:
Explanation:
The effect would ultimately be the same as if an oil spill happened in the local river and/or ocean. Water and Oil do not mix and the oil becomes thick and remains on top of the water. Water ultimately drags the oil with it and eventually into the river and ocean. There the oil will cause oxygen from passing through the water, therefore killing all local plants in and near the rivers as well as causing harm to local animals that bathe and drink in the contaminated water
