John C. Fremont led an unauthorized expedition into Mexican territory in Alta California and helped settlers there declare independence as the Bear Flag Republic. Stephen Kearney marched troops from Kansas to New Mexico and California to take control of the territories. Several key figures played roles in the war, including James K. Polk who pushed for war over the Texas border dispute, Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott who led military victories, and Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna who initially went into exile but returned to lead Mexican forces until being forced to sign the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ceding California and New Mexico to the US.
The 13 original British colonies in North America had diverse economies and cultures. The New England colonies focused on small farms, towns, seaports, and industries like shipbuilding. The Middle colonies grew wheat and other grains and had natural resources that supported mills, mines, and ironworks. The Southern colonies centered around large plantations and farms that grew cash crops like tobacco and rice using slave labor, with port cities and economies dominated by wealthy plantation owners.

The Necessary and Proper Clause gave Congress implied powers not specifically enumerated in the Constitution. Federalists supported this "elastic clause" because they favored a loose interpretation allowing the government to adapt, while Antifederalists opposed it fearing expanded abusive government power. Federalists believed a strong central government was necessary, but Antifederalists feared it would undermine state autonomy. Federalists thought checks and balances would protect citizens' rights, but Antifederalists argued only a bill of rights could guarantee these protections.
To vote in North Carolina, citizens must register by completing an application if they are a US citizen, county resident for 30 days, at least 18 years old, and not currently incarcerated or residing in a mental institution. On Election Day, which is the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, voters go to their designated polling place located in a non-political area where no campaigning is allowed within several hundred feet. Voters then select their candidates in secret on a "bubble sheet" ballot. North Carolina also allows absentee ballots that must arrive by a deadline and no-excuses early voting at scheduled times before Election Day.

The document summarizes the key provisions of the Bill of Rights, which consists of the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution. It protects civil liberties and individual rights, including freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, the right to bear arms, protection from unlawful searches and seizures, due process, self-incrimination, speedy trials, and cruel and unusual punishment.

The document discusses the juvenile justice system. It notes that juveniles who commit crimes often have backgrounds involving abuse, neglect, or emotional/mental issues. Juvenile courts have the goal of rehabilitation and act in the best interests of youth. Most juvenile cases begin as arrests, while some are initiated by parents/schools. Juvenile courts can place abused youths with foster families and divert non-violent juveniles to rehabilitation programs instead of trials. Juveniles have some trial rights like legal counsel, though they do not receive jury trials, and their records can be cleared upon successful completion of probation.
This document introduces demand and the factors that determine demand. It discusses how consumers seek to maximize satisfaction within their budgets. The amount people are willing to buy at different prices is called demand. Demand is represented by a demand curve with a negative slope, showing an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. Factors that can cause the demand curve to shift, changing demand at all prices, are called determinants of demand. These determinants include income, prices of related goods, tastes, population, and expectations. The document defines and provides examples of how each determinant can impact demand.
