The Constitution was a compact â though Federalists and Anti-Federalists disagreed over whether the states or the people were the agents of the compact. In September of 1787, it was sent to the states for ratification.
The Heliocentric Theory was first thought of by Aristarchus of Samos. Heliocentrism is the proposal that the Sun is the center of the Solar System. This opposed the notion of Geocentricism, which suggested that the Earth was the center of the Solar System.
(Discovering the Universe, 5th ed., Â§2-1) 1  An alternative to the geocentric cosmology was actually suggested a century before Hipparchus by Aristarchus (3rd C. B.C.). 2  In the heliocentric cosmology, the planets orbit the Sun rather than the Earth. The Earth also orbits the Sun, but the Moon still orbits the Earth.
