Radical Reconstruction exemplified the tension between the contract and compact theories of political thought, as it focused on the interactions that should exist between the state and the federal government. The contract theory prioritizes the social contract formed by individuals, with the U.S. Constitution serving as a prime illustration by outlining the interactions between the states and the federal government. Conversely, compact theory posits that the federal government arises from the states, asserting that in any disputes, states are the ultimate deciders. This debate was pivotal in discussions about how much authority the federal government could exercise in relation to re-integrating the Confederate states, approving the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, and establishing federal control over these former Confederate territories.

In 2016, a large Texas-based energy transfer partners company initiated construction on the Dakota Access Pipeline, reaching near the Standing Rock Reservation, which spans parts of both North and South Dakota. The Sioux expressed anger and fear that the extensive oil extraction would harm nature, pollute the Missouri River, and destroy sacred Native American sites. They are particularly concerned that this construction poses a direct risk to their ancient burial grounds and culturally significant locations, which represent the last sanctuaries of the tribe. Subsequent to this, descendants of the Sioux started public campaigns to halt the construction, and while an environmental impact assessment was launched under Obama, it was ultimately concluded by President Trump who approved the project. North and South Dakota are in the Midwest of the US, named after the Sioux tribe, extending from the Rocky Mountains to the Mississippi River. In Sioux, 'Dakota' means allies or friends. Both Dakotas are bisected by the Missouri River, a major tributary of the Mississippi, with a population of 750,000 in the North and an additional 100,000 in the South, each state accounting for 15 Native American reservations.
Initially, the Babylonian state was already established in the Middle East with organized city-states, while the Hittites expanded by seizing territory and founding colonies. The Hittites had the ability to smelt iron for weaponry, which gave them military advantage. By about 1200 B.C. they faced famine and assaults from Mediterranean raiders called the Sea Peoples as well as eastern nomadic groups, which led to their collapse. From 1595 B.C. until 625 B.C. Babylonia fell under foreign domination until the general Nabopolassar expelled the occupiers and declared himself king, after which a powerful new Babylonian empire arose.
