How did the Nile shape the Ancient Egyptian Empire? - The Nile River was the lifeblood of the Ancient
Egyptian Empire and is sometimes credited with being the reason this empire was able to become one
of history's most stable societies. Its yearly floods replenished the soil by leaving fertile silt that made
large scale agriculture possible in the land immediately surrounding the river. The agriculture provided
Egypt with goods to trade, further enriching the empire. The Nile was also the center of Egyptian
cultural and spiritual life. The ancient Egyptians believed that the pharaoh was responsible for providing
the yearly floods as part of his role as the divinely appointed ruler.

and Indian War. It was extremely unpopular with the colonists and was repealed in 1766. Lead was one
of the goods taxed under the Townshend Acts, enacted in 1767, but it did not receive its own specific
, tax act. The Tea Act of 1773 was another unpopular tax and led to tea boycotts and was the catalyst for
the Boston Tea Party.
To whom was the Declaration of Independence addressed and why? - The Founding Fathers decided
that because the colonies did not have the right to elect representatives to the British Parliament they
could not be justly ruled by Parliament. They envisioned the British Empire's government as being
headed by the King of England, under whom the various local parliaments and legislative bodies served
to enact laws for the peoples whom they represented. By addressing their ills to the king, the Founding

How did the ruling in Marbury v. Madison alter the Supreme Court's power in the federal government? -
Marbury v. Madison started with the election of Thomas Jefferson as third President of the United

receive a patent as Justice of the Peace, sued to demand delivery. What makes this case important is the
decision which declared the judiciary's ability to overturn legislation that conflicted with the
Constitution. The case states: "It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say
what the law is. Those who apply the rule to particular cases must, of necessity, expound and interpret
that rule. If two laws conflict with each other, the courts must decide on the operation of each.\

the next 76 years. In 1939, President Roosevelt tried to change the holiday's date from the last Thursday
in November to the second to last Thursday in November in order to stimulate the economy by creating
