These are my corrections:
At fir...Hello Clara, <br /><br />These are my corrections: <br /><br /><br />At first we have correct<b>ed</b> the exercises that Paqui <b>gave</b> us for today, about the Type of State and Constitution in USA<br />The type of state was divided into Federal Republic, <b>which means</b> that every state has important powers: own laws, own court<b>s of justice</b>..., and the Presidentalist Republic, <b>which means</b> that the president h<b>olds</b> wide powers.<br />And the Constitution was divided into the Princip<b>les</b> on which it was based, <b>whic includes</b> seven articles with the organization of the new State, based on the principles of political liberalism. The Content was freedom, property, religious freedom, freedom of speech, press freedom, right to wear weapons. And the Amendments, <b>which are 27 up to this moment and i</b>ncluded the abol<b>i</b>tion of slavery, the right to vote for women<b>,</b> for black people, the prohibition of alcohol.<b>…and so on</b><br /><br />Later Paqui <b>has started</b> to explain the last point of this unit, Spain in the 18th century,A) War of Spanish Succesion (1700-1714). When Charles II died without direct succesors, he left his kingdom to Philip of Anjou. Louis XIV's grandson and a lot of people disagree<b>d</b> with his testament. Austria, the <b>Low C</b>ountries, Portugal and Great Britain were against the <b>F</b>rench influence over the <b>H</b>ispanic <b>M</b>onarchy and supported Archduke Charles of Austria. In the Iberian Peninsula: Castile supported Philip of Anjou and Aragon supported Archduke Charles.<br />In the development of the war Paqui has explain<b>ed</b> this with a map and said that <b>they had</b> equal forces on both sides; the <b>B</b>ritish invaded Gibraltar and Minorca; the <b>F</b>rench-<b>C</b>astilian army defeated those who supported Archduke Charles in Almansa; When the emperor of Austria died, Archduke Charles became emperor. Fearing Austria's reinforcement, the European powers looked for an agreement to end the war and they signed the <b>Tr</b>eatry of Utrecht (that is when Spanish appeared,). Erase this sentence in brackets, because Spain appeared with the Nueva Planta DEcrees Philip V issued to punish the reigns of the Crown o. f Aragón<br /><br />Later the war continued in Catalonia until 1714, when Barcelona was bombed by Philip V's order. Finally they surrendered.<br />The Treaty of Utrecht <b>included the following decisions</b>: Philip V was recognized king of the Hispanic Monarchy; The European(s) territories of Hispanic Monarchy were distributed among Austria and Savoy; Great Britain preserved Gibraltar and Minorca and they <b>got</b> also two important rights: the assiento: they could sell black slaves in the Indies <b>and t</b>he ship of permission: once a year they could send a 500 ton(s) ship with their products to be sold in the Indies.<br /><br />Finally the bell has rung and we have gone to r<b>u</b>n.<br /><br /><br />That's all.
