Naturalization Act

Examples of Naturalization Act in the following topics:

• The Alien and Sedition Acts

  • The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 were a series of laws that aimed to outlaw speech that was critical of the government.
  • The Naturalization Act repealed and replaced the Naturalization Act of 1795 and extended the duration of residence required for aliens to become citizens of the United States from five years to fourteen years.
  • Enacted July 6, 1798, and providing no expiration provision, the act remains intact today as Title 50 of U.S.

• No Perfect Organism

  • Natural selection cannot create novel, perfect species because it only selects on existing variations in a population.
  • However, natural selection cannot produce the perfect organism.
  • Natural selection is also limited because it acts on the phenotypes of individuals, not alleles.
  • Natural selection acts on the net effect of these alleles and corresponding fitness of the phenotype.
  • Furthermore, natural selection can be constrained by the relationships between different polymorphisms.

• Natural Selection and Adaptive Evolution

  • Natural selection drives adaptive evolution by selecting for and increasing the occurrence of beneficial traits in a population.
  • Natural selection only acts on the population's heritable traits: selecting for beneficial alleles and, thus, increasing their frequency in the population, while selecting against deleterious alleles and, thereby, decreasing their frequency.
  • Natural selection does not act on individual alleles, however, but on entire organisms.
  • Natural selection acts at the level of the individual; it selects for individuals with greater contributions to the gene pool of the next generation, known as an organism's evolutionary fitness (or Darwinian fitness).
  • Through natural selection, a population of finches evolved into three separate species by adapting to several difference selection pressures.

• The Coercive Acts

  • Many colonists, however, viewed the acts as an arbitrary violation of their rights.
  • The first of the acts passed in response to the Boston Tea Party was the Boston Port Act.
  • Although many colonists found the Quartering Act objectionable, it generated the least amount of protest of the Coercive Acts.
  • Many colonists saw the Coercive Acts as a violation of their constitutional rights, their natural rights, and their colonial charters.
  • The citizens of Boston viewed the Coercive Acts as an act of unnecessary and cruel punishment that inflamed outrage against Britain even further.

• Types of Natural Resources

  • Natural resource economics focuses on the supply, demand, and allocation of the Earth's natural resources.
  • Natural resource economics focuses on the supply, demand, and allocation of the Earth's natural resources.
  • An example of natural resource protection is the Clean Air Act.
  • The act was designed in 1963 to control air pollution on a national level.
  • The act has been revised over the years to continue to protect the quality of the air and health of the public in the United States.

• Conclusion: The Consequences of the British Parliamentary Acts

  • Outrage over the act created a degree of unity among otherwise unconnected American colonists, giving them a chance to act together both politically and socially.
  • Colonists’ joy over the repeal of the Stamp Act did not last long.
  • Like the Stamp Act, the Townshend Acts led many colonists to work together against what they perceived to be an unconstitutional measure.
  • The Tea Act of 1773 triggered a reaction with far more significant consequences than either the 1765 Stamp Act or the 1767 Townshend Acts.
  • The British responded by implementing the Coercive Acts, which were punitive in nature and meant to make an example of the colonies, and sending British troops to Boston to close Boston Harbor, causing tensions and resentments to escalate further.

• The PATRIOT and Freedom Acts

  • The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (USA PATRIOT Act), also commonly known as the Patriot Act, is an Act of the U.S.
  • The act also expanded the definition of terrorism to include domestic terrorism, thus enlarging the number of activities to which the USA PATRIOT Act's expanded law enforcement powers can be applied.
  • Due to its controversial nature, a number of bills were proposed to amend the USA PATRIOT Act.
  • These included the Protecting the Rights of Individuals Act, the Benjamin Franklin True Patriot Act, and the Security and Freedom Ensured Act (SAFE), none of which passed.
  • The USA FREEDOM Act ("Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ending Eavesdropping, Dragnet-collection and Online Monitoring Act"), more commonly known as the Freedom Act, is a U.S. law that was enacted on June 2, 2015, the day after the PATRIOT Act expired.

• British Taxes and Colonial Grievances

  • The Sugar Act of 1764 reduced the taxes imposed by the Molasses Act, but at the same time strengthened the collection of the tax.
  • Following the Quartering Act, Parliament passed one of the most infamous pieces of legislation: the Stamp Act.
  • The act faced vehement opposition throughout the colonies.
  • Parliament repealed the Stamp Act but passed the Declaratory Act in its wake.
  • Discuss the nature of the grievances over the British empire's taxes on the colonies

• Natural Resource Market

  • Below are some methods of acquiring different natural resources for production.
  • Not all commodities are natural resources, and not all natural resources are commodities, but commodity markets remain an important source for many resources.
  • The NFA's first regulatory operations began in 1982 and fall under the Commodity Exchange Act of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Act.
  • Not all natural resources can be acquired on commodity markets.
  • These costs can make these natural resources more expensive.
