I think it is essential, however, to pinpoint here the difference between the two concepts of sovereignty that went to war in 1861 -- if only to see better how imperative is our need today to clarify completely our far worse confusion on this subject.

The difference between confederacy and federal union in 1861

Many believe -- and understandably -- that the great difference between the Constitution of the Southern Confederacy and the Federal Constitution was that the former recognized the right of each state to secede.

'' The other important difference between the two Constitutions was that the President of the Confederacy held office for six ( instead of four ) years, and was limited to one term.

One is tempted to say that, on the difference between the concepts of sovereignty in these two preambles, the worst war of the Nineteenth century was fought.

I murmured something about a possible difference between New Mexico's history and Mississippi's.

If we examine the three types of change from the point of view of their internal structure we find an additional profound difference between the third and the first two, one that accounts for the notable difference between the responses they evoke.

Now we can argue that the irresistible fate of Oedipus Rex was nothing more than the irresistible unconscious longings of Oedipus projected outward, but this externalization of unconscious conflict makes all the difference between a story and a clinical case history.

Free world decisions in this matter may spell the difference between world disaster and world progress in freedom.

The second timely part of this sketch of literature and the search for identity has to do with the difference between good and enduring literary works and the ephemeral mass culture products of today.

he was given the difference between that amount and $5000.

Banks the Butcher was a hard master and a hard father, a man who didn't seem to know the difference between the living flesh of his family and the hanging carcasses of his stock in trade.

Democratic Speaker Champ Clark saw little difference between a conscript and a convict.

The other reason ( and the one with which I am here concerned ) is that one thus becomes inclined to inquire of any opinion, or change of opinion, whether it represents the wisdom of experience or is only the result of the difference between youth and age which is as inevitable as the all too obvious physical differences.

Although the false glamour surrounding bourbon or other whisky commercials is possibly no more fatuous than the pseudo-sophistication with which TV soft-drinks are downed or toothpaste applied, there is a sad difference between enticing a viewer into sipping Oopsie-Cola and gulling him into downing bourbon.

This matter is of great importance, and the outcome may mean the difference between life or death, or at least serious injuries, for many veterans.

Such payments shall be made to small domestic producers of lead as long as the market price for common lead at New York, New York, as determined by the Secretary, is below 14-1/2 cents per pound, and such payments shall be 75 per centum of the difference between 14-1/2 cents per pound and the average market price for the month in which the sale occurred as determined by the Secretary.

Such payments shall be made to small domestic producers of zinc as long as the market price for prime western zinc at East Saint Louis, Illinois, as determined by the Secretary, is below 14-1/2 cents per pound, and such payments shall be 55 per centum of the difference between 14-1/2 cents per pound and the average market price for the month in which the sale occurred as determined by the Secretary.

A second fundamental principle is that involved particularly in the present proceeding -- the difference between nighttime and daytime propagation conditions with respect to the standard broadcast frequencies.

Because of the difference between daytime and nighttime propagation conditions, it has been necessary to evolve different allocation structures for daytime and nighttime broadcasting in the AM band, with many more stations operating during the day than at night.

Compare the vast difference in scope and beauty between his neat and witty little Classical Symphony and his big, muscular, passionate, and eloquent Fifth Symphony ; ;

We may then dismiss the time difference between these courses and the usual four year course of the interior design student as not having serious bearing on the subject.

Human genes differ only 1. 6 % on average from their corresponding gorilla genes in their sequence, but there is further difference in how many copies each gene has.

In frequentist setting there is a major difference between a design which is fixed and one which is sequential, i. e. consisting of a sequence of analyses.

However, for hotter blue and white stars, the size and brightness difference between so-called dwarf stars that are on the main sequence and the so-called giant stars that are not becomes smaller ; for the hottest stars it is not directly observable.

A similar sequence is observed at the South Pole, with a six-month time difference.

To illustrate how one may use Newton's formula in actual practice, consider the first few terms of the Fibonacci sequence f = 2, 2, 4 ... One can find a polynomial that reproduces these values, by first computing a difference table, and then substituting the differences which correspond to x < sub > 0 </ sub > ( underlined ) into the formula as follows,

* As a convolution operator: Via the formalism of incidence algebras, difference operators and other Möbius inversion can be represented by convolution with a function on the poset, called the Möbius function μ ; for the difference operator, μ is the sequence ( 1, − 1, 0, 0, 0, ...).

* Sequenced Packet Protocol ( SPP ) was an acknowledged transport protocol, analogous to TCP ; one chief technical difference is that the sequence numbers count the packets, and not the bytes as in TCP and PUP's BSP ; it was the direct antecedent to Novell's IPX / SPX.

While the above discussion has related to the convergence of a single series to a limiting value, the notion of the convergence of two series towards each other is also important, but this is easily handled by studying the sequence defined as either the difference or the ratio of the two series.

* Some international models of adding machines and printing calculators use the asterisk to denote the total, or the terminal sum or difference of an addition or subtraction sequence, respectively, sometimes on the keyboard where the total key is marked with an asterisk and sometimes a capital T, and on the printout.

Pillai's conjecture concerns a general difference of perfect powers: it is an open problem initially proposed by S. S. Pillai, who conjectured that the gaps in the sequence of perfect powers tend to infinity.

Given an ordered sequence of real numbers: the first difference is defined as

More generally: the k < sup > th </ sup > difference of the sequence is written as is defined recursively as

Modulating a carrier by a data sequence results in a sum and a difference frequency, resulting in two symmetrical carrier side-bands.

Therefore it does not account for possible difference among organisms or species in the rates of DNA repair or the possible functional conservation of specific regions in a sequence.

In mathematics, an arithmetic progression ( AP ) or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant.

For instance, the sequence 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, … is an arithmetic progression with common difference of 2.

If the initial term of an arithmetic progression is and the common difference of successive members is d, then the nth term of the sequence () is given by:

It may also be, based on general observations of development and songbird results, that any difference between humans and non-humans would be due to regulatory sequence divergence ( affecting where and when FOXP2 is expressed ) rather than the two amino acid differences mentioned above.

The term " indefinite summation " refers to the search for an inverse image of a given infinite sequence s of values for the forward difference operator, in other words for a sequence, called antidifference of s, whose finite differences are given by s. By contrast, summation as discussed in this article is called " definite summation ".

Another difference with American skeet is that the sequence to complete the 25 targets in a round of Olympic skeet requires shooters to shoot at doubles, not only in stations 1, 2, 6, and 7, as in American skeet, but also on 3, 4, and 5.
