Caroline often worked on discoveries of her own.
She independently discovered the second companion of the Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 110; NGC 205) and another, new, nebula.
She also discovered eight comets in 17861795.
She reworked Flamsteed's  Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars.
The result was published by the Royal Society in 1798 and contained an index of every observation of every star made by Flamsteed, a list of errata, and a list of more than 560 stars that had not been included.
In 1825, Caroline donated the works of Flamsteed to the Royal Academy of Göttingen.
She was the first woman to discover a comet.
She discovered seven more comets between 1789 and 1797.
The comet 35P/Herschel-Rigollet is named in her honor, as well as the lunar crater C. Herschel, and the planetoid (281) Lucretia.
She also is famous for her work with her brother.
She aided him in his studies.
She reorganized John Flamsteed's British Catalogue, which listed nearly 3,000 stars.

She returned to Hanover after his death and received her stipend from the British Royal Family.
She also helped her brother's son finish his father's work.
Caroline Herschel was awarded a gold medal for her works in science from the Royal Astronomical Society in 1828.
She was made an honorary member at the Royal Astronomical Society ten years later.
Herschel also received a similar award from the Royal Irish Academy.
She was awarded the gold medal for science by the King of Prussia on her ninety-sixth birthday.
Toward the end of Caroline's life, she arranged two-and-a-half thousand nebulae and star clusters into zones of similar polar distances.
Her nephew, John Herschel,  re-examined them systematically.
The list was eventually enlarged and renamed the New General Catalogue.
Many non-stellar objects are still identified by their NGC number.
Herschel died on January 9, 1848 in Germany.
She died at the age of 97.
Herschel was never married.
An asteroid was discovered in 1888.
It was called Lucretia, Herschel's middle name.
Herschel continued to have a legacy after her death because she discovered several comets.

Merrick Brian Garland (born November 13, 1952) is an American federal judge and politician.
Garland is the 86th and current United States Attorney General during the Joe Biden administration since 2021.
He was the chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 2013 to 2020.
He was on that court from 1997 until 2021 after being nominated by President Bill Clinton.
In 2016, Garland was nominated by President Barack Obama to the Supreme Court to replace Antonin Scalia following his death.
However, in a Republican-controlled senate, a confirmation hearing was never held and his nomination expired on January 3, 2017.
In January 2021, President-elect Joe Biden nominated Garland to be the United States Attorney General in his cabinet.
He was confirmed by the United States Senate and sworn-in in March 2021.
Garland was born in Chicago, Illinois.
He graduated from Harvard College and from Harvard Law School.
In 1995, Garland was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and (following a delay in Senate confirmation) took the bench in 1997.
In 2009 and 2010, Garland was considered by President Barack Obama for two openings on the Supreme Court.
Supreme Court nomination
Garland has more federal judicial experience than any Supreme Court nominee in history.
He is the oldest Supreme Court nominee since Lewis F. Powell, Jr. in 1971.
After Republicans refused to give Garland a confirmation hearing, Garland's nomination was expired in January 2017 shortly before the inauguration of Donald Trump.
Trump said he will announce his Justice nominee for the Supreme Court on January 31, 2017.
On March 1, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 15-7 to advance Garland's nomination to a full Senate vote.
On March 10, the Senate confirmed Garland by a vote of 70-30 to become the next Attorney General.
Garland married Lynn in 1977.
He lives in Bethesda, Maryland.
Article Three of the United States Constitution creates the judicial branch of the United States government.
It creates the Supreme Court of the United States, and allows the United States Congress to create less powerful federal courts.
It also sets out the powers that these courts have.
Section 1: Federal courts
Section 1 of Article Three starts out by creating the Supreme Court  one court that will be more powerful than any other court in the country.
It also gives Congress the power to create "inferior" (less powerful) federal courts.
It allows judges in these courts to get a regular salary for their work.
Section 1 protects the judges by saying that their salaries will not be decreased while they are in office (working as a federal judge).
Section 1 says that judges "shall hold their Offices [keep their jobs] during good Behavior."
This is meant to protect federal judges, and also to make sure that the federal judiciary is independent.
Before it won its independence in the American Revolutionary War, America was a colony of the British Empire.
The Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution just four years after the War ended.
They still remembered what the courts in the American colonies were like.
As Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, Britain's King George III "made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries."
This meant that the judges could not be independent or impartial.
If they made a decision that King George did not like, they could be fired, or not paid.
Judges who wanted to keep their jobs made decisions based on what King George would want, not based on what the law said.
If judges are cannot be independent, or do not follow they law, courts are not fair, and there is no way for regular people to get justice.
The Constitution makes sure that this will not happen to United States federal judges.
By saying judges "shall hold their Offices during good Behavior," Section 1 is basically allowing judges to keep their jobs for the rest of their lives.
In Article Two, Section 4, the Constitution does say that Congress can take away a judge's job  but only after being convicted in a trial, and only for "Treason, Bribery, or other High crimes and Misdemeanors."
(This is what Section 1 means by behavior that is not "good.")
In other words, the Constitution makes sure that all judges will lose their jobs for making even the slightest unpopular decision.
This denies judges the freedom to be independent, and to make the decisions that they think are fair, and makes them choose between right and reelection.
Number of courts
Article III clearly allows only one Supreme Court.
However, it does not say how many Supreme Court Justices (judges) there should be.
Congress solved this problem in 1948 by passing a law.
The law says that the Supreme Court will have 9 Justices, including one Chief Justice.
In both Section 1 and in Article One, Section 8, the Constitution gives Congress the right to create courts that are "inferior" to the Supreme Court.
However, the Constitution does not say how many "inferior" courts there should be, or how they should be set up.
It leaves those decisions to Congress.
Congress decided to create two different kinds of "inferior" courts (also called "lower courts").
In the Judiciary Act of 1789, they created:
"Article III courts," also called "constitutional courts."
These are the courts with "judicial power":
The United States Supreme Court
The federal courts of appeals and district courts (federal courts which cover certain areas)
The United States Court of International Trade
"Article I courts," also called "legislative courts."
These courts help Congress enforce some of the powers Article One gives it.
They also help review decisions made by executive departments.
The U.S. Tax Court, which deals with disagreements between taxpayers and the Internal Revenue Service.
This helps Congress with its power to collect taxes.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, which hears appeals of some cases that were tried in military courts.
This helps Congress with its power to regulate the military.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, which can review the decisions of the Board of Veterans' Appeals (an executive department).
For example, if a veteran files for disability benefits and the Board refuses them, the Court of Appeals could hear the case.
The U.S. Court of Federal Claims, which hears cases that involve claims for money damages against the Federal government.
Section 2: Judicial power, jurisdiction, and trial by jury
Clause 1: Cases and controversies
Clause 1 gives the federal courts the power to hear and judge actual "cases and controversies" only.
For example, they cannot hear a case about a situation that might come up in the future.
Clause 2: Original and appellate jurisdiction
Original jurisdiction
"Original jurisdiction" is the power to hear a case first, before any other court.
Clause 2 gives the Supreme Court original jurisdiction in:
Cases that involve ambassadors, government ministers, and consuls (diplomats)
Cases where a state is a party (a plaintiff or a defendant; for example, a case where a person sues the state government)
This includes cases where the United States itself will be a party (for example, United States v. Texas)
Appellate jurisdiction
In all the other cases mentioned in Clause 2, the Supreme Court has "appellate jurisdiction."
That means another court has the power to hear the case first.
If somebody appeals that court's decision, the Supreme Court can take the case on appeal.
Clause 2 gives the Supreme Court the power to hear appeals on:
Cases that have to do with federal laws, the Constitution, or treaties
Cases about things that happened at sea
Cases between people who live in different states
Cases between people who live in the same state, but are fighting over land grants in different states
Cases between people in a state who are fighting with people from another country
Jurisdiction over state courts
There is one specific power that Clause 2 does not give the federal judiciary.
Clause 2 says that the federal judiciary has power over "the laws of the United States."
However, it does not say that the federal courts have power over the laws of individual states.
Also, when Congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1789, they also never gave the federal courts this power.
This means that the federal courts can only review or change the decisions of state supreme courts if the state decision may have broken a federal law or the Constitution.
The federal courts had no power to review or change state supreme court decisions that were just based on state laws.
Basically, this gave each state supreme court the final say over the laws in their state.
Different states could decide completely different things, so the laws might be completely different in one state than another.
In 1795, the Eleventh Amendment changed part of Clause 2.
It took away the federal judiciary's power to get involved in lawsuits between states and citizens of other states or countries.
In Marbury v. Madison (1803), the Supreme Court ruled that Congress cannot change the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction.
However, the appellate jurisdiction of the Court is different.
Congress is able to make the rules for the federal courts' appellate division, including rules about their jurisdictions.
Marbury v. Madison also created an important power called judicial review.
This is the Supreme Court's ability to review whether a law, treaty, or executive rule breaks a law that already exists, a state Constitution, or the United States Constitution.
After Marbury, the Supreme Court started keeping an eye on what the state and federal governments were doing, instead of just trying cases that people brought to them.
Clause 2 says that the Supreme Court has "judicial power [over] all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution [and] the Laws of the United States...."  However, it does not say exactly what this means.
The Supreme Court clarified this in a case called Osborn v. Bank of the United States (1824).
Supreme Court Justice John Marshall wrote an opinion about what a "federal" case is, and what "arising under" the Constitution or federal laws means.
Basically, he said a case is federal  and under the federal courts' original jurisdiction  if:
The answer to the lawsuit depends in some way on the Constitution or on federal law
The plaintiff's argument has to do with the Constitution or federal law
Clause 3: Federal trials
Clause 3 of Section 2 says that federal crimes have to be tried in front of a jury, unless the defendant does not want a jury.
The only type of federal crime that is not tried before a jury is an impeachment.
(Article One, Section 3 of the Constitution says that only the United States Senate can try impeachment cases.)
Clause 3 also says the person's trial must be held in the state where they did the crime.
If they did not do the crime in any particular state, then Congress gets to choose where the trial will be held.
Section 3: Treason
Clause 1: Definition and conviction
The last section of Article 3 talks about treason and how it should be punished.
The Founding Fathers wanted to make sure that Americans' rights were protected.
They also knew that in the past, in England, some kings had gotten rid of their political opponents just by accusing them of treason.
For these reasons, the Founders wanted to make sure the Constitution said specifically what crimes were treason; what would be needed to find people guilty; and what the punishments could be.
"Levying [making] War against" the United States;
"Adhering to [joining or being loyal to]" the United States' enemies; or
"Giving [enemies] aid and comfort."
Section 3 also makes it clear that treason must be an "overt act."
This means that to commit treason, a person must actually do something, not just plan to do it.
For example, if a group of people got together and planned to attack part of the United States, that would not be treason because they had not actually done anything yet to hurt the country.
If they did attack the United States, that would be an overt act, and it would be treason.
It also says that there are only two ways for a person to be convicted of treason.
Two different witnesses must say in court that they saw the person do that overt act.
If there are not two witnesses, then the person must admit in court that they committed treason.
If neither of these things happen, the person cannot be found guilty of treason.
Parts of this rule came from a British law called the Treason Act 1695.
Clause 2: Punishment
Finally, Section 3 talks about punishment for people found guilty of treason.
It gives Congress the power to decide the punishment.
However, there is one punishment that the Constitution does not allow: punishing a person's family and descendants for that person's crime.
In English law, if a person was convicted of treason, their punishment would include an "Attainder" (also called a "Corruption of Blood").
This meant that not only the person, but their family and heirs, would be punished and thought of as guilty.
Once a person was "attainted," they would be executed.
However, their heirs would also lose the right to inherit that person's land, property, or money.
The end of Section 3 specifically says that this punishment is not allowed.
When the Founders wrote "no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted," they meant: "No heirs may be punished, and Congress can make the traitor forfeit (give up) their property, but only during their lifetime."
Their heirs would have to be able to inherit their property when the traitor died.

State ratifying conventions are one of the two ways established by Article Five of the United States Constitution for ratifying proposed constitutional amendments.
Ratifying conventions have only been used on one occasion.
This was in 1933 and was used to ratify the 21st Amendment.
All other proposed constitutional amendments have been offered to the state legislatures for ratification.
The Constitution also provides that state ratifying conventions may also be used to propose a constitutional amendment.
However, to date, none of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by state conventions.
A state ratifying convention may be called by a two-thirds vote by a state legislature.

Validated on December 5, 1933, the Twenty-first Amendment (Amendment XXI) to the United States Constitution canceled the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and ended the Prohibition Era in the United States.
It is the only Amendment to repeal another amendment.
It is also the only Amendment to have been ratified by state ratifying conventions rather than by state legislatures.
The Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution had started a period in the US known as Prohibition.
During this time the manufacture, distribution, and sale of alcoholic beverages was illegal.
Passage of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919 was the chief goal of the temperance movement.
but it soon proved highly unpopular.
Crime had soared under Prohibition as gangsters, such as Chicago's Al Capone, became rich from a very profitable black market for alcohol.
The federal government was unable to enforce the Volstead Act.
In 1932, wealthy industrialist John D. Rockefeller, Jr. stated in a letter: As more and more Americans opposed the Eighteenth Amendment, a political movement grew for its repeal.
Although the U.S. Constitution provides two methods for ratifying constitutional amendments, only one method had been used up until that time.
This was ratification by the state legislatures of three-fourths of the states.
However, the wisdom of the day was that the lawmakers of many states were either obligated to or simply afraid of the temperance lobby.
For that reason, when Congress formally proposed the repeal of Prohibition on February 20, 1933, it chose the other ratification method established by Article V. That is by state conventions.
State and local control
The second section bans the importation of alcohol in violation of state or territorial law.
This has been interpreted to give states essentially absolute control over alcoholic beverages.
Many U.S. states still remained "dry" (with state prohibition of alcohol) long after its ratification.
Mississippi was the last, remaining dry until 1966.
Kansas continued to prohibit public bars until 1987.
Many states now delegate the authority over alcohol granted to them by this Amendment to their municipalities or counties (or both), which has led to many lawsuits over First Amendment rights when local governments have tried to revoke liquor licenses.
Section 2 has been the source of every Supreme Court ruling directly addressing Twenty-first Amendment issues.
Early rulings suggested that Section 2 enabled states to legislate with exceptionally broad constitutional powers.
In State Board of Equalization v. Young's Market Co., (1936), the Supreme Court held that a state could require a license fee for importing beer from other states and also for manufacturing beer within the state.
The court recognized that "Prior to the Twenty-first Amendment it would obviously have been unconstitutional" for a state to require a fee for such a privilege.
In Craig v. Boren (1976), the Supreme Court addressed the issue of proposed legislation with different ages for males and females regarding alcohol consumption in Oklahoma (age 18 for females, age 21 for males).
The Court overturned the motion because of a presumed violation of the Equal Protection Clause in the Fourteenth Amendment.
In South Dakota v. Dole (1987), the Supreme Court upheld the withholding of some federal highway funds to states in which the legal drinking age is less than twenty-one years of age is lawful.
The Court held that the limitations on spending power in the Twenty-First Amendment did not prohibit Congress to indirectly achieve federal objectives.
In 44 Liquormart, Inc. v. Rhode Island (1996), Rhode Island passed a law that banned liquor advertising from places that did not sell liquor.
The petitioners based their suit on their First Amendment right to free speech.
In a unanimous decision the Court held that states cannot use the Twenty-first Amendment to abridge freedom of speech protections under the First Amendment.
However, the Court acknowledged the state was empowered to regulate the sale of liquor under the Twenty-First Amendment.

The election of the President and Vice President of the United States is an indirect vote in which citizens cast ballots for a set of members of the U.S. Electoral College.
These electors then cast direct votes for the President and Vice President.
If both votes result in an absolute majority, the election is over.
If a majority of electors do not vote for President, the House of Representatives chooses the President; if a majority of electors do not vote for Vice President, the Senate votes.
Presidential elections occur quadrennially on Election Day, which since 1845 has been the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, coinciding with the general elections of various other federal, state, and local races.
The most recent United States presidential election was held on November 3, 2020.

The Twenty-third Amendment (Amendment XXIII) to the United States Constitution extends the right to vote in the presidential election to citizens residing in the District of Columbia by granting the District electors in the Electoral college, as if it were a state.
The amendment was proposed by the 86th Congress on June 16, 1960, and ratified by the states on March 29, 1961.
According to the terms of the amendment, the district is allocated as many electors as it would have if it were a state, but no more electors than the least populous state (currently Wyoming, which has three electors); thus, the district cannot have more than three electors.
Even if it were a state, the district's population would entitle it to only three electors.
Since the passage of this amendment, the District's electoral votes have been cast for the Democratic Party's presidential and vice presidential candidates in every election.
When the Constitution was ratified, the nation's capital was New York City.
However, Article one, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution states:
{{quote:The Congress shall have Power To… exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such Dis­trict (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Con­gress, become the Seat of the Gov­ernment of the United States…}}
Selecting the site for the new capital was a political compromise.
Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury and bankers, mainly from the northeast, got the Bank of the United States located in Philadelphia.
In exchange, a special District of Columbia would be located on the Potomac River, closer to the southern states and controlled by Congress.
Washington DC was founded on July 16, 1790 on a site selected by George Washington.
He appointed three commissioners to prepare the city for the new government, scheduled for 1800.
While this was taking place, from 1790 until 1800, the capital was Philadelphia.
In 1800, as planned, the District of Columbia became the nation's capital.
At the time the population was only about 5,000 residents.
As a district and federal territory, the population did not have a local or state government.
They also could not vote in federal elections.
Passed by Congress on June 17, 1960, and ratified by the states on March 29, 1961, Amendment XXIII, for the purposes of the Electoral College, treats the District of Columbia the same as if it were a state.
This gives the citizens of the District the right to vote in presidential elections.
The Amendment does not make the district a state, it gives the residents the same number of electors the same number as if it were a state.
But, per the amendment, no more than the smallest state.
The Amendment does not give district citizens any representation in Congress.
Congress continues to govern the district.
Political impact
While the District of Columbia is considered politically neutral at the time of passage in 1961, the District swung dramatically toward the Democratic Party since.
African-Americans have voted in greater numbers than they had in the 1940s and 1950s.
According to the 1970 census, 71% of the Federal District was black, a dramatic jump.
As a result, the District has sent its 3 electoral votes to the Democratic candidate in every single presidential election since 1964.
However, the District's electoral votes have yet to prove decisive in a presidential election.
The smallest Electoral College majority won by a Democratic president since the Twenty-third Amendment's ratification was the 56 vote majority achieved by Jimmy Carter in 1976.

The Twenty-fifth Amendment (Amendment XXV) to the United States Constitution says that if the President becomes unable to do his job, the Vice President becomes the President (Section 1) or Acting President (Sections 3 or 4).
This can happen for a short period of time, if the President is just sick or disabled for a short time.
It could also happen until the end of the President's term (the President's time in office), if the President died, resigned, or is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office".
Article Two, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution says:
This means that if the President is fired, dies, resigns, or is unable "to discharge [his] Powers and Duties" (unable to do the things a President has to do), the Vice President will take over their job.
The Vice President will do the President's job until they get better (if they are just sick or disabled), or until the next Presidential election (if the President resigned or is dead).
If neither the President nor the Vice President can do the President's job, Congress can decide who takes over the President's job.
This is all the Constitution says about this subject.
This clause was not very specific.
It did not say:
Who had the power to say a President was unable to do his job
Whether the Vice President would actually become President if he/she had to take over, or would just be "Acting President" (someone who did the President's job, but never got the title of "President")
Who would take the Vice President's job if he/she died, resigned, could not do his/her job, or had to take over for the President
How (or who) in Congress should decide who would take over if neither the President or the Vice President could do the President's job
In 1841, the ninth President, William Henry Harrison, became the first United States President to die in office.
Before this, Representative John Williams had suggested that the Vice President should become Acting President if the President died.
Also, after Harrison died, his Cabinet had met and decided that Vice President John Tyler would become "Vice-President Acting President."
However, Tyler did not like this idea.
He announced that he had become the President, and was not just doing the old President's job.
He refused to look at any papers that were addressed to him as "Acting President."
Tyler took the Presidential Oath, moved into the White House, and took over all of the old President's powers.
Nobody formally challenged Tyler's claim to the Presidency.
Eventually, both Houses of Congress passed a resolution saying that Tyler was the tenth President of the United States.
This created "the precedent of full succession."
A precedent is a rule or law that might be followed in the future if a similar situation came up again.
"Full succession" means that the Vice President would become the President, not Acting President, if the actual President died.
The "precedent of full succession" became known as the "Tyler Precedent."
