Mold can also cause infections or irritant and toxic reactions. Infections caused by mold can lead to a variety of problems from flu-like symptoms to skin infections and even pneumonia. An irritant reaction is caused when substances from molds called volatile organic compounds irritate the mucous membranes in the body.
Introduction. The U.S. Constitution established Americaâs national government and fundamental laws, and guaranteed certain basic rights for its citizens. It was signed on September 17, 1787, by delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, presided over by George Washington. Under Americaâs first governing document, the Articles of Confederation, the national government was weak and states operated like independent countries.
The Republican National Convention of 1924 nominated Calvin Coolidge as its candidate for a full four-year term as President. You'll recall that Coolidge had assumed the presidency following the death of Warren Harding.
