Describe how the nullification crisis was settled.

The
Nullification Crisis began in November of 1832, when South Carolina passed an Ordinance of
Nullification, declaring the tariffs of 1828 and 1832 null void, prohibiting the collection of
the tariffs after February 1, 1833.  After South Carolina nullified the tariff laws, Vice
President John C. Calhoun resigned his office and then was chosen to represent South Carolina in
the U.S. Senate.  Andrew Jackson sought increased power from Congress to enforce the tariff
law.  In January of 1833 the Force Bill was introduced in Congress that would give the president
the power to collect customs duties in South Carolina using the full power of the government if
necessary, meaning the use of military power.  This bill went nowhere until a compromise tariff
bill was introduced in Congress by Henry Clay which provided for the gradual lowering of the
tariff until 1842 when no duty could exceed 20%. Both bills passed Congress and on March 2,
1833, President Jackson signed both.  With the lowering of the tariff and the threat of military
action against South Carolina, and with no other southern state backing South Carolina, on March
15, 1833, South Carolina repealed its nullification ordinance.  The nullification crisis came to
an end, though 3 days later, to preserve what it felt was the states right, it nullified the
Force Act.  Though the crisis came to an end, the debate over the right of a state to nullify
federal laws continued.

List and explain 3 examples of how animal imagery is used throughout Night by Elie Wiesel.

Before leaving for the camps,watches many of his acquaintances being led into the
ghetto for a type of forced imprisonment. He notes:

They
passed me by, like beaten dogs, with never a glance in my
direction.

This comparison shows both the humiliation and
the desperate position of these people. He notes the Chief Rabbi in the group, and even he is
powerless against these forces. They are utterly defeated as they are led away from their homes
with only tiny bundles of their lives to take with them.

Later, Wiesel finds
himself on a train en route to a concentration camp. An officer announces,

"There are eighty of you in the car. If anyone goes missing,
you will all be shot, like dogs."

This next reference to dogs shows that the Germans don't consider
their prisoners humans. And, in fact, they are not treated as such. The Germans don't allow them
any water, force them to hand over any valuable possessions at threat of being shot if
discovered later, and leave them to suffer in...

how does walton meet victor frankenstein?

What are Friar Laurence's views on love in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet ?

We learn
several things in the second act about 's perspective on love. In particular, we learn that
Friar Laurence views youth as fickle and youth's love as insincere. We also learn that he thinks
the heated, passionate love thatshare is not genuine love and likely to die soon. Finally, we
also learn that he believes that love can put an end to hate.

We see Friar
Laurence express his view that youths are fickle as a result of insincere love when we see him
reprimandfor changing so suddenly from loving Rosaline to loving, as we see in the lines,
"Young men's love then lies / Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes"
(II.iii.68-69). In other words, Friar Laurence is accusing Romeo and all young men of equating
love with physical attraction, which is not the strongest, most sincere form of love. When Romeo
defends himself, declaring, "Thou chid'st me oft for loving Rosaline," we further see
Friar Laurence accuse Romeo of insincere love when he...

after noticing how an

do.

...What would he do,

That I have? He would drown the

And

Make mad the guilty and appal the free,

The very faculties of eyes and
