Explain Joe Biden’s and Kamala Harris Inauguration

resident Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have officially begun their respective terms in office, after taking the oath of office at an inauguration ceremony unlike any other. Below, all the details on today's event.

It's been an historic day.

As planned by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC)—the six-member, bipartisan committee responsible for holding these events—Biden and Harris were sworn in at the West Front of the Capitol on Wednesday, January 20. The theme is "America United."

Due to the pandemic, the ceremony looked very different this year.

The 2021 event is the 59th inauguration ceremony planned by the JCCIC since it was formed in 1901, but due to the ongoing pandemic, it didn't look like any that's come before.

The President and Vice President were sworn in at a ceremony on the west side of the Capitol—albeit a very scaled-down one, with "vigorous health and safety protocols in place"—and took part in a "Pass in Review," a tradition that symbolizes the peaceful transfer of power, wherein the incoming president surveys a group of uniformed members of the military, on the east side. Later, Biden and Harris laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery; they were joined by former Presidents and First Ladies Barack and Michelle Obama, George W. and Laura Bush, and Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Rather than stage the traditional parade in D.C., the inauguration will be celebrated with a virtual parade. "The parade will celebrate America's heroes, highlight Americans from all walks of life in different states and regions, and reflect on the diversity, heritage, and resilience of the country as we begin a new American era," the inaugural committee's press release explained earlier in January.

Biden will also receive a presidential escort from 15th Street to the White House, "providing the American people and world with historic images of the President-elect proceeding to the White House without attracting large crowds and gatherings."

In addition, in lieu of the traditional festivities on the night of the inauguration, Biden's inaugural committee is producing a 90-minute television special, called "Celebrating America," to celebrate the new president's swearing-in.

So if you are confused on what it does and how it works i will explain it to you:

The definition for an Inauguration is the formal admission of someone to office

Now A presidential inauguration is a ceremonial event centered on the formal transition of a new president into office, usually in democracies where this offical has been elected. Traditionally, the president-elect arrives at the White House and then proceeds to the Capitol Building with the out-going president. Around or after 12 noon, the president takes the oath of office, usually administered by the chief justice of the United States, and then delivers the inaugural address.

I hope that makes sense :)

states

explanation:

as the old saying goes, all politics are local. state and federal governments affect our daily lives in numerous ways. yet, in our federal system, there is supposed to be a balance between federal and state power. as james madison envisioned it in federalist no. 51, “the power surrendered by the people” would be “divided between two distinct governments,” creating a balance of power that would enable the “different governments [to] control each other.”

question: write a report analyzing through articles of confederation.

answer: the articles of confederation the united states constitution was written when the people feared strong government the new nation needed some kind of organization to hold states together to them fend off future attacks and make a stronger support system through the states and people the states bonded through a friendship that best served as a defense against a invasion and states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations the strengths were that the congress has the highest power in the nation because of   fear of monarchy congress had the sole power to declare war and assign treaties disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress and weaknesses were the lack of power given to congress the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws if a state did not support a federal law that state could simply ignore it congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade.

explanation: so like every argument they have strengths and weaknesses but in this case there were more weaknesses but they managed o get through it and make an agreement
