Alaska vs Florida
Alaska is different from Florida in several ways such as the time zones. In Alaska the time is four hours behind the time in Florida. Another way they are different is in the place that they are on a map. Alaska is in the North West and Florida is in the South East. These two places also differ in climate. In Alaska the climate is cold, while in Florida there is a tropical climate. Along with different climates come different temperatures. In Alaska the normal temperature in the summer is about fifty degrees Fahrenheit. In Florida the normal temperature is about ninety. In Alaska the sky has constant darkness for about three months, but in Florida there is normal daylight. Alaska is also different from Florida by the size. Alaska is larger that Florida in land mass. Florida has a greater population than Alaska, however. Alaska allows you to get your learner’s permit to drive when you turn fourteen. Florida allows you to get your learner’s permit at the age of fifteen. The last ways that these two states differ are the natural resources. In Alaska the natural resources are gold, fish, and fur. On the other hand, in Florida the natural recourses are oranges, sugar cane, seafood, cows, the ocean, and natural spring water.
Although these states have many differences, they also have some similarities. Both Alaska and Florida are states in the United States. Florida and Alaska are also both peninsulas, a land that is almost completely surrounded by water but connected to the mainland. Both of these places have many fun things to do. In Alaska you can ski, ice skate, play ice hockey, snowboard, or go sledding because most of the year there is snow on the ground. In Florida you can go to the beach, go surfing, play volleyball, go to the boardwalk, or go to Disney

    In his article Florida v. Harris: Turning Police Dogs into Search Warrants on a Leash, John Whitehead questions the intentions of both police officers and Supreme Court judges, who seem to be condoning and ruling in favor of unconstitutional searches of American citizens. The criteria for what qualifies as probable cause has now been left up to the judgement of an officer. With variance in why a search should be conducted, Americans are left in the dark when it comes to their own rights. Although the Constitution outlines these rights, their interpretations gets lost when the Supreme Court rules in the favor or those who seem to be abusing their power rather than using it to protect the American people. .…

    I chose the landmark case of Korematsu v. United States for this research paper. Back on December 7, 1941 the Japanese attacked US Naval forces in Pearl Harbor located in Hawaii. The next day the US declared war on Japan and everyone was in a panic wondering what would happen next. The United States joined World War II and all Japanese and Japanese-Americans were being rounded up and put into camps, because the US government was afraid that there could spies or that the people with a Japanese heritage could turn against America. Executive Order 9066 was put into place by President Roosevelt and this order made it possible to put anyone from full Japanese to even 1/16th into special facilities where they were seclude from the general population. Was the Executive Order unconstitutional or not? Fred Korematsu was a native born citizen of the US, but was of Japanese heritage and he was convicted on September 8, 1942 of being in a place where Japanese weren’t allowed. Korematsu then brought forth a petition to take away his conviction due to government misconduct. Eventually, the case reached the Supreme Court and in a 6-3 vote they sided with the government, because they said that the potential spying and espionage was more important than Korematsu’s Constitutional rights. From my research I have concluded that even though Korematsu got his case overturned in 1984 because of untruthful information it was still unfair that it is still deemed Constitutional that there were internment camps for Japanese-Americans. Amendments 1, 4, 5, 8, 13, 14, and 15 of the United States Constitution were all violated and I will explain why in this paper.…

What they do have in common is they both are located in Florida, and both cities have are homed to many tourist.…

    There are many differences between New England and the Chesapeake. This was because there were a lot of culture differences between the two. Whether it was coming to america to search for gold like the chesapeake or escaping religious injustice like new England. The chesapeake’s hot and humid climate tended to drive people away so they came to New England for dry and mild weather. Farming was a huge part of the Chesapeake’s economy unlike the New England people who had a very diverse economy even though they did farm. Even though they both came from the same area they evolved into two different societies due to their motives for coming to America, the climate of the area, and how and what they farmed.…

    Korematsu vs U.S

    Kezia Howard 1 Kezia Howard Professor Myhre Law and Society 05 September 2010 I. KOREMATSU vs. UNITED STATES Korematsu vs. United States is a landmark Supreme Court case that involves the constitutionality of Executive Order 9066, known for interning Japanese Americans during World War II. Fred Korematsu was a U.S.-born Japanese American, who showed no signs of disloyalty, but stayed in San Leandro, California, deliberately violating Civilian Exclusion Order No. 34, which excluded all persons of Japanese ancestry from that area. Decided in Post Pearl Harbor hysteria, President Roosevelt granted these laws, in order to “protect” the Japanese Americans from hateful crimes and to prevent espionage during this wartime. This case, decided with a majority vote 6-3, ruled that the exclusion orders were constitutional. Korematsu vs. United States has been incredibly controversial due to the court’s decision that the need for national defense outweighed Korematsu’s individual rights guaranteed to him in the Fourteenth Amendment and the Due Process clause. Despite the military’s right to war powers, General DeWitt had no evidence of disloyalty among the Japanese Americans. This fundamental flaw in authority should have led the court to rule in favor of Korematsu against the internment camps, which was essentially a euphemism for concentration camps. By analyzing the different arguments in the case, majority, concurring, and dissenting, the reader can determine that the dissenting opinion held the most persuasive amount of evidence. II. MAJORITY OPINION Justice Black, Reed, Douglas, and Rutledge made up the majority opinion, focusing on the idea that this case, based on administrative orders by the military, has no regard to race.…

    Politically, there are many differences between the New England and Chesapeake regions. The New England region is based upon the "city on a hill" ideal created by John Winthrop. John Winthrop, a Puritan leader, was a stockholder brought to the Americas during the Great Migration. He had become the first governor of this region. This is a concept that means the ideal perfect society that everyone would want to copy. There was a major religious…

    To begin, Florida known as “the sunshine state” hooks you in as soon as you enter the state. The beautiful palm trees blowing in the wind, the numerous orange groves you see from the roadside and the welcome center offering fresh squeezed orange juice makes you feel so at home. There are so many beautiful exotic looking flowers in the landscaping of homes and businesses. Of course, the warmer climate is the main attraction in Florida. The annual average high is 79F degrees and the average low is 57F degrees. Snow rarely falls in most of Florida, but has on occasion in the northern peninsula. Florida also has an abundant annual rainfall especially during the months of June through September. In addition, Florida is located between the Atlantic Ocean and The Gulf of Mexico, therefore it also has exceptionally high humidity and of course there is always a chance of hurricanes as well. Undoubtedly, both of these items are a major downfall to me.…

    Even today, Florida is a fragmented block of land, not by water or mountains as some states, instead by values and history. The old saying of “the more South you go in Florida the more North you are” has never been more true than in today’s world. But, it was not always like this, during Florida's early years and beginner start of statehood the concentration of its people was far more North. The central areas were nothing but country, and the south was untamed swamp and marsh. The old North versus South was actually East versus West; the conflicts were also far different than the normally politically charged rhetoric of today as well. Instead, what characterized the East and…

    Tax rebates in the film industry exists in states other than Texas. Particularly, New Mexico and Louisiana have retained generally higher and more consistent incentive programs and offer close geographic alternative to Texas. The results of Texas falling behind in terms of competitive film industry incentives are already apparent with, for example, notable film maker Robert Rodriguez moving production of his television show From Dusk till Dawn: The Series out of his Austin based studio to New Mexico for the production of the show’s third season. Teresa Wyatt, a producer on the show confirmed that the decision to move was made “as a direct correlation to the decision by the State of Texas and the [show’s] budget” (Rancaño). This is not to…

    Moreover, the differences expanded exponentially because of the wealth cash crops brought to landowners who strived to create political and social standing in a new world. For example, South Carolina became the wealthiest colony in North America because of their cash crop, rice. Rich whites in South Carolina were richer than anywhere else in the colonies and this was mainly because of the labor of slaves. These cash crops fundamentally contributed to the economy and commerce of the colonies. With all this wealth, people gathered political and social standing. Everyone’s understood status in the colonies formed groups that intertwined. Free blacks formed family communities with other free blacks; while patron-client relationships involved almost…
