History

Alexander the great

There is no doubt that, Alexander the great was a memorable conqueror in the entire world for a period of 13 years. Notably, his ancient empire was considered the largest in the world history as it covered approximately thirty miles. Let me confirm to you that, he carried out most of his operations literally without the aid of both technology and weaponry. In essence, his movement was on foot he carried out his communication through face-to-face form. Some of Alexander’s major accomplishments were made possible by his father’s efforts. His father Philip of Macedon conquered and invaded the entire Greek city-states that were for many years divided by internal state fighting.

Queen Elizabeth the "golden age"

Queen Elizabeth was regarded as the melodramatic queen during her tenure. She was referred to as the virgin Queen with the intention of portraying her single-minded trait as her inner sexual status. The golden age reflects on both her entrusted responsibilities of both a queen and a woman. On the other hand, the film literally revolves around her simplicity and her internal anguish. The title of the film golden age, acts as a polisher to the elements of queen Elizabeth’s reigns. Elizabeth was literary presented with an opportunity of vetting possible and potential suitors who would enable her get a suitor who would prevent her cousin Mary Queen from succeeding her.

Bill of rights

During several debates on the constitution in America, the opposing side opted for draft that would result into tyranny of the central government in order to favour their interests. The rationale behind it was that, there was a previous violation of the civil rights by the British during the revolution phase. For this reason, the constitution was exposed to amendments during the first congress of the United States of America held on September 25 1975. It is important to note that, this meeting made progress on most crucial bills in the constitution. However, the two major amendments that had a lot of concern from both houses of representatives and the congressional representatives were never ratified. On the other hand, three fourths of entire state legislatures ratified articles 3 to 12 that summed up to ten amendments that constitute the whole bill of rights.

The act of bill of rights

The act of bill of right was signed into law by the United States president Lyndon Johnson on July 2 1964. The law stipulated that schools were to be attended by all students and pupils without discrimination of race, ethnicity and religious background. In order to emphasis on this, the act of bill of rights required that American citizens were also not supposed to be discriminated as they attend their own their endeavours in public places. You should note that citizens were allowed to seek for jobs in the public and private sector despite their colour, political affiliations, religious backgrounds, race and ethnicity. I am meant to think that this document was considered the most sweeping form of civil rights from the time it was reconstructed.

Justification of historical significance

Let me start that acknowledging that, Alexander the Great played a crucial role in the history of the ancient world. This was evident by the way Alexander was at his vocal point of ensuring that unity of purpose exists between communities that lived in every region within the state. It is true that, during the previous empire life, unity was vital and a leader who could demonstrate effective leadership qualities was highly needed. Working tirelessly with the intention of ensuring that every person within the empire was safe was a hard nut to crack but Alexander the great strategically imitated measures of ensuring that people lived together with unity. Let me confirm that, in the current world, the leaves borrowed from the regime of Alexander the great are applied in several instance especially with region that frequently experiences wars. Several themes are presented in life and especially the entire life of Alexander the Great; however, the theme of good leadership is more dominant and prominent in his life as a leader.

Accordingly, the bill of rights made it illegal for practicing any kind of discrimination for the American citizens. However, the African American people were not given opportunities of enjoying freedom of life unlike the Hispanics Whites who did. Apart from that, there were sanctions imposed when travelling; African Americans were secluded from travelling with the whites in the same travelling units. On the other hand, school attendance in terms of enrolment was done discriminatively; non-Hispanics whites and Hispanics whites were not in any way supposed to attend the same schools. However, after the bill of rights was signed into law every form of discrimination was rendered illegal. It meant that every citizen of the United States of America had equal rights to life, freedom of movement, freedom to associate, freedom of traveling to any part of the state using any means and attending to any school. The most important thing one should note is that, the enactment of the bill of rights influenced the way people related to others within American territorial region. Peaceful coexistence within a nation implies that every citizen enjoys his or her fundamental rights without infringing those of others.

How the two U.S historical examples represent a different historical theme

Alexander the Great represented the theme of good leadership during his time in leadership. On the other hand, the "golden age" represents the theme of leadership through succession and Queen Elizabeth had to find a way of having an heir who would take her place. You should have in mind that, the bill of rights and the civil rights were both meant to advocate for the rights of the American people. This implies that, the dominant theme revolved around unity and equal distribution of rights to all American without considering their colour, race, religion and age.

How the historical facts connects to its associate historical theme

I think everyone understands that, the bill of rights was meant to deliberate the African Americans and other people who were discriminated in the United States of America. The theme portrayed in this historical act had intention of unifying the entire citizens of the United States of America. On the other hand, civil rights advocated for equal job distribution among all residents of the United States of America. I believe that the theme of equality is also predominant in this historical act; it implies that every citizen of America had equal rights of securing employment opportunities or sharing other government resources or services without discrimination.

2. Justification of historical significance of world examples

At this point, everyone should have noted that Alexander the Great contributed immensely in the ancient history by conquering the states of Greece. Although some of the leaders within the regime had wrangles within themselves, Alexander advocated for peace and harmony by demonstrating good leadership skills aimed at ensuring that all citizens enjoy fundamental rights as others despite the colour, race and ethnicity. Queen seems to have had a caring heart that ensured that her heir was a person who could consider the interest of the people he/she was leading. What do you think she did? She personally interviewed her successor because there was no person reliable to take over her leadership. She did this to prevent her cousin Mary Queen a Scottish from succeeding her. I consider that the move played a critical role in the world of history as the Queen acted in the best interest of her lineage of leadership.

How the two world historical represents different historical themes

Both Alexander the great and Queen Elizabeth represent the theme of historical leadership. You should acknowledge the fact that they tried to their level best to ensure that their leadership lineage was secure and consistent. However, their form of leadership was very different from each other, this implies that while Alexander used peaceful, but barbaric form of communication and technology to rein his territory, Queen Elizabeth form of leadership was subjected to technological development and more advanced form of communication. With regard to this, one should learn that, the theme of technology and communication advancement is prominent in these two forms of leadership.

How the historical facts connects to their associate themes

Everyone should bear me witness that, the use of poor means of communication and transportation justifies the theme of poor or underdeveloped forms of technology during the regime of Alexander the great while the use of advanced methods of communicating especially to successor of Queen Elizabeth justifies advancement in technology.

3. The significance of the four themes

Indisputably, Alexander the great portrayed the theme of good leadership not only to his people, but also to the entire world. Significantly, this theme is used in the current world to maintain peace; other leaders in various nations have been emulating his leadership style in ruling. Looking at Queen Elizabeth, she fought tirelessly to stop her cousin Mary Queen from taking leadership powers from her; this is the theme of selfless and in the leadership arena. Suggestively, it shows how people in power struggle to remain in power for eternity.

The bill of rights advocates for equality for every American citizen without considering their race. Until recently, all Americans live peacefully without conflicts emanating from ethnic, racial or religious mismatched interests since the enactment of the bill of rights. On the other hand, the civil rights signifies the need for equal opportunities for every American citizen. Although interest groups are still present, they are less vibrant in advocating for the rights of their respective groups because the civil rights addressed all the needs of special groups.
