The Noid
The Noid is an advertising character for Domino's Pizza created in the 1980s by claymation artist Will Vinton, which has since been briefly revived several times. A mischievous rabbit-like creature in a skin-tight red bodysuit, he was portrayed as a perpetrator of many bizarre schemes designed to ruin the world's pizzas. Supposedly, only Domino's managed to, as the commercial's tagline went, "avoid the Noid". An odd hostage situation occurred when, on January 30th, 1989, a mentally unstable man named Kenneth Lamar Noid, believing the character was created to mock him, held a Domino's employee at gunpoint, demanding money, a getaway car, and a book. He was eventually arrested and charged, but the character remained in use until 1995, when Kenneth Noid killed himself in prison. The Noid has appeared in media only very sporadically since.

Claymation
Claymation, sometimes called clay animation or plasticine animation, is one of many forms of stop-motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable"—made of a malleable substance, usually plasticine clay.

Traditional animation, from cel animation to stop motion, is produced by recording each frame, or still picture, on film or digital media, and then playing the recorded frames back in rapid succession before the viewer.  These and other moving images, from zoetrope to films and video games, create the illusion of motion by playing back at over ten to twelve frames per second.
Dual federalism
Dual federalism, also known as layer-cake federalism or divided sovereignty, is a political arrangement in which power is divided between the federal and state governments in clearly defined terms, with state governments exercising those powers accorded to them without interference from the federal government.

Anti-Federalists
The Anti-Federalists were a late-18th-century group in the United States advancing a political movement that opposed the creation of a stronger federal government and which later opposed the ratification of the 1787 Constitution. The previous constitution, called the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, gave state governments more authority. Led by Patrick Henry of Virginia, Anti-Federalists worried, among other things, that the position of president, then a novelty, might evolve into a monarchy. Though the Constitution was ratified and supplanted the Articles of Confederation, Anti-Federalist influence helped lead to the enactment of the Bill of Rights.
