Unit+4

__ Body Paragraph of 1987 DBQ __
The Constitution of the United States is supposed to protect its people including slaves. Just like William Lloyd Garrison said in his document “the United States Consitution” (1852) the words of “slaves” or “slavery” were not mentioned at all in the Constitution, meaning it is not protecting it or illigalizing it. But yet the south is still not allowed or expected to carry any slaves in its land. Therefor when it comes to who is held responsible it is the government. The reason is because they are the ones who allowed them to be considered merchandise and property instead of human beings. So the government ought to abolish it and allow freedom and the rights of life to the slaves. Although I must agree with president James Buchanan, in his fourth annual message to Congress (dec 3 1860) when he says “As sovereign States, they, and they alone, are responsible before God and the world for the slavery existing among them” The reason why I agree with him is because the people of the south have been used to slavery. They grew up with it, lived by it, and some even died by it. It will not be easy to let there culture and economy just go down the toilet for what the North believes is “right”. After all they feed the slaves, and give them shelter.

__Myth v. Reality Table__

 * __Myth__
 * The romanticized image of the cowboy. Independent, semi-educated; courageous, decent and compassionate; a symbol of Western frontier. Supposed to be the hero
 * The Frontier? Places or regions that are at the edge of a country, meaning people can be more free and individual unlike cities or town where everyone has to work together as one to make life easier. Expected as a land used to get rich [myth]
 * get rich very quickly and there is still alot of jems and gold to be found easily and without violenc || __Reality__
 * Boring, lonely, physically discomforting, and contained relatively few opportunities for advancement.
 * The Counquest of the Far West?- I believe what is meant by the far west is the land that is west of the Mississipi river and the new land that was colonized like California and all the state that are to the left of the map of the U.S. Inclused bery diverse and diffrent locations/climate/development/population. already had many civilizations.
 * Very tough conditions, hard to find jems and gold, needed alot of money and equipment. Low success rates. ||

__Corporation?__
A corporation is a company. You must be licensed to run a corporation by getting your articles of incorporations approved. There are a couple of steps to become a corporation. There are such procedures as picking your business parteners, picking a logo and name for your business, and also getting aproved by the state that you choose to run your company or corporation in. One critical thing about becoming a corporation is having enough income. YOu could not be a corporation if you are a corner store. You also need to have at least one share holder,director, and officer.

The benefits of a corporation is the owners or owners asset's are secure. If you are to be sued then the court could only take what is in the companies name and not what the owners have under there name. Also you could sell ownership of the business by selling you shares of the company. also easier to raise capital through sale of shares and stocks.

The disadvantages of a corporation are; More expensive to form than proprietorship or partnerships, More legal formality, More state and federal rules and regulations

THis changed society in a couple of ways. THe most important way is that the owners of a company are protected. If someone were to trip in your store because you didnt dry your floor the person couldnt sue you personally but your company. So it would keep people from going very quickly bankrupt.
