Magna Carta Magna Carta was the first document forced onto a King of England by a group of his subjects, the feudal barons, in an attempt to limit his powers by law and protect their rights. The charter is widely known throughout the English speaking world as an important part of the protracted historical process that led to the rule of constitutional law in England and beyond. The 1215 charter required King John to proclaim certain liberties and accept that his will was not arbitrary—for example by explicitly accepting that no "freeman" (in the sense of non-serf) could be punished except through the law of the land, a right that still exists. The water-meadow at Runnymede is the most likely location at which, on 15 June 1215,[2] King John sealed the Magna Carta, and is the site of the Magna Carta Memorial. It was preceded and directly influenced by the Charter of Liberties in 1100, in which King Henry I had specified particular areas wherein his powers would be limited. Great Charter of 1215[edit]
The Bill of Rights (including the Preamble to the Bill of Rights) The Federalist Papers - Publius The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 articles advocating the ratification of the United States Constitution. Seventy-seven of the essays were published serially in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet between October 1787 and August 1788. A compilation of these and eight others, called The Federalist, was published in 1788 by J. and A. McLean.

Rights Rights are legal, social, or ethical principles of freedom or entitlement; that is, rights are the fundamental normative rules about what is allowed of people or owed to people, according to some legal system, social convention, or ethical theory.[1] Rights are of essential importance in such disciplines as law and ethics, especially theories of justice and deontology. Rights are often considered fundamental to civilization, being regarded as established pillars of society and culture,[2] and the history of social conflicts can be found in the history of each right and its development. According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, "rights structure the form of governments, the content of laws, and the shape of morality as it is currently perceived Definitional issues[edit] There is considerable disagreement about what is meant precisely by the term rights. One way to get an idea of the multiple understandings and senses of the term is to consider different ways it is used.
Declaration of Independence - Thomas Jefferson The United States Declaration of Independence is a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, announcing that the thirteen American colonies then at war with Great Britain were no longer a part of the British Empire. Written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration is a formal explanation of why Congress had voted on July 2 to declare independence from Great Britain, more than a year after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War.… (more) The United States Declaration of Independence is a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, announcing that the thirteen American colonies then at war with Great Britain were no longer a part of the British Empire.

Enneagram of Personality History[edit] The origins and historical development of the Enneagram of Personality are matters of dispute. Wiltse and Palmer[6] have suggested that similar ideas to the Enneagram of Personality are found in the work of Evagrius Ponticus, a Christian mystic who lived in 4th century Alexandria. G. Claudio Naranjo is a Chilean-born psychiatrist who first learned about the Enneagram of Personality from Ichazo at a course in Arica, Chile. Enneagram figure[edit] Enneagram figure Nine types[edit] The table below gives the principal characteristics of the nine types along with their basic relationships. Wings[edit] Most, but not all, Enneagram of Personality theorists teach that a person's basic type is modified, at least to some extent, by the personality dynamics of the two adjacent types as indicated on the enneagram figure. Stress and security points[edit] The lines between the points add further meaning to the information provided by the descriptions of the types. Instinctual subtypes[edit]
Founding Fathers of the United States American leaders who set up the first US government The Founding Fathers of the United States, or simply the Founding Fathers or Founders, were a group of late-18th century American revolutionary leaders who united the Thirteen Colonies, led the war for independence from Great Britain, and crafted a framework of government for the new United States nation. Terminology John Adams, in response to praise for his generation, rejoined, "I ought not to object to your reverence for your fathers, meaning those concerned with the direction of public affairs, but to tell you a very great secret ... I have no reason to believe we were better than you are." The phrase "Founding Fathers," was first coined by Senator Warren G. Key founders George Washington served as president of the 1787 Constitutional Convention, and became the nation's first president.[26] Historian Richard B.

Seven virtues History[edit] The first virtues were identified by the Greek philosophers Aristotle and Plato, who regarded temperance, wisdom, justice, and courage as the four most desirable character traits. After the New Testament was written, these four virtues became known as the cardinal virtues, while faith, hope and charity were referred to as the theological virtues. Seven heavenly virtues[edit] A list of the seven heavenly virtues - to oppose the seven deadly sins - appeared later, in an epic poem entitled Psychomachia, or Battle/Contest of the Soul. Popular culture[edit] In White Wolf Game Studio's newer World of Darkness role-playing game, both the seven deadly sins and the seven heavenly virtues constitute required attributes of each player character in game mechanics. In the Paradox Interactive game, Crusader Kings II, various events and actions cause the player character to gain or lose one of the 7 virtues or vices.

Die häufigsten Waldbäume der Schweiz Die Stieleiche hat dank der Ausbildung von Lokalrassen mit sehr unterschiedlichen Standortansprüchen in Europa ein sehr grosses Verbreitungsgebiet. Alle Rassen benötigen aber viel Licht und eine lange, warme Vegetationsperiode. Eichen wurden über Jahrhunderte ihrer Früchte (Schweinemast) und des Holzes wegen stark gefördert. Mit Beginn des Kartoffelanbaus (ca. 1740) ging die Eiche in der Schweiz stark zurück. Eine weitere Verminderung der Bestände kam mit dem Bau der Eisenbahnen (Schwellenbedarf) und mit der Umwandlung von Mittel- in Hochwälder. Die grösste Verbreitung hat die Stieleiche im Mittelland und im östlichen Jura. selten (nach WELTEN und SUTTER 1982) häufig (nach WELTEN und SUTTER 1982) sehr häufig (LFI-Probeflächen mit Vorkommen) zurück | Gesamtstammzahl, Gesamtvorrat
Die häufigsten Waldbäume der Schweiz In Europa hat die Esche ihren Verbreitungsschwerpunkt im nördlichen Alpenvorland. Man findet sie meist in der kollinen/ submontanen Stufe auf Feuchtstandorten. Der Eschenanteil ist zwar im Mittelland und östlichen Jura am höchsten, diese Baumart ist jedoch auch inneralpin weit verbreitet und fehlt grossflächig nur im Oberengadin. Die Esche gedeiht zu zwei Dritteln zwischen 400 und 800 m ü.M. Sie benötigt zum guten Gedeihen reichlich Nährstoffe und Wasser, meidet aber stagnierende Nässe und besiedelt auch trockene Jurahänge. Die seltene Blumensche (Manna- oder Schmuckesche; Fraxinus ornus L.) kommt nur auf der Alpensüdseite, besonders an kalkreichen Steilhängen, vor. selten (nach WELTEN und SUTTER 1982) häufig (nach WELTEN und SUTTER 1982) sehr häufig (LFI-Probeflächen mit Vorkommen) zurück | Gesamtstammzahl, Gesamtvorrat
