CHINA'S HEGEMONY Hegemony occurs when a civilization extends its political, economic, social, and cultural influence over others. For example, we may refer to the hegemony of the United States in the early 21st century, or the conflicting hegemony of the United States and Russia during the Cold War Era. In the time period between 600 and 1450 CE, it was impossible for one empire to dominate the entire globe, largely because distance and communication were so difficult. Both the Islamic caliphates and the Mongol Empire fell at least partly because their land space was too large to control effectively. So the best any empire could do was to establish regional hegemony. During this time period, China was the richest and most powerful of all, and extended its reach over most of Asia.

Fletcher v peck Peck had purchased some land from the state of Georgia, which he later sold to Fletcher. Subsequently, the Georgia state legislature rescinded the original sale to Peck. Fletcher's claim was that he had bought the land in good faith and that Peck was guilty of breach of contract. That a legislature could repeal or modify the acts of a preceding legislature, but it could not invalidate a previously made contract. Mcculloch v Maryland That a Maryland state tax imposed on the Bank of the United States was unconstitutional interference with federal government activities by the state.

My bill is the united states should put a family living plan in action to control our population. Girls after they turn 14 to the age of 18 should be required to be on some form of birth control. The government should put a limit on the number of kids a family should have. I feel this way because the united states population is growing at an exponential rate and if it keeps growing like this we are going to go over the united states carrying compasity.
