 | | This crisis exacerbated the disaffection among the working classes in the United States and around the world and led to a rise in socialist thinking that was to have a large effect on the rest of the century. | | | Homeschooling is also prevalent in parts of the United States, especially in areas and among those with strong (Protestant) religious convictions. | | | The founding of British colonies in Virginia and Massachusetts in the early 17th century marks the beginning of what we now know as the United States of America. |

| | The term "people," therefore, in that State, means, first, all the citizens of the State in the aggregate (i.e., the members of the body politic), and secondly, the body politic itself; and while in the former sense it is plural, in the latter sense it is singular. | | | It was argued that the word 'state.' in that connection, was used simply to denote a distinct political society. | | | The citizens of each State form the body politic of that State, and the States form the body politic of the United States. |
