Born in a log cabin in the mountains of Pickett County, Tennessee, Hull was the third of five children. His father was a farmer and a lumber merchant, but Hull had greater aspirations. From a young age, he hoped to pursue a career in law. By the age of 20, he had become a practicing lawyer in the town of Celina, TN. 

Having participated in political campaigning as a student, Hull decided to run for state legislature in 1893, and held various positions over the years. During the course of his career, Cordell Hull acted as a major political leader in the state of Tennessee before being elected into Congress, where he served as a U.S. Representative until 1931. From 1931-1937, Hull held the position of U.S. Senator, resigning when President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed him Secretary of State.  ]]> 2017-03-21 01:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cmac0512/rx6c9mbfmmsy/wish/161361470 cmac0512 https://padlet.com/cmac0512/rx6c9mbfmmsy/wish/161362699 2017-03-21 01:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cmac0512/rx6c9mbfmmsy/wish/161362699 cmac0512 https://padlet.com/cmac0512/rx6c9mbfmmsy/wish/161363404 2017-03-21 01:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cmac0512/rx6c9mbfmmsy/wish/161363404 The Father of the United Nations cmac0512 https://padlet.com/cmac0512/rx6c9mbfmmsy/wish/161365689 An examination of the period between WWI and WWII showed a lack of commitment to the spirit of internationalism. The old League of Nations proved too weak in structure to fill this void. Cordell Hull's major effort during the later stages of World War II was  preparing a blueprint for an international organization dedicated to the maintenance of peace and endowed with sufficient legislative, economic, and military power to achieve it, which later became known as the United Nations.  
  The Big Three of Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin had devoted hours of dialogue to the nature of a United Nations. After agreeing on the general principles at the Dumbarton Oaks and Yalta Conferences,  46 countries sent representatives to San Francisco to make plans for the United Nations. Hull served as an advisor for the American delegation. The United Nations was signed on June 26, 1945 and went into effect on October 24, 1945.

The Security Council serves as the executive branch of the United Nations. The Security Council must authorize any actions, such as economic sanctions, the use of force, or the deployment of peacekeeping troops.   
   Each of the "Great Powers" — the United States, Great Britain, France, China, and the Soviet Union — holds a permanent seat on the Security Council. The remaining ten seats are elected to two-year terms by the General Assembly. Each permanent member holds the power of veto. No action can go forth if any one of the five objects. As the Cold War crystallized, the countervailing veto powers of the United States and the Soviet Union served often to inhibit the Security Council from taking any forceful or meaningful action.

Every member nation holds a seat in the General Assembly, which is often described as a town meeting for the world. The General Assembly has standing committees to address ongoing issues such as economics and finance, social, cultural and humanitarian concerns, and legal problems. The General Assembly passes resolutions and has the power to make recommendations to the Security Council, but has no power to require any action. In addition to the General Assembly, and Economic and Social Council has committees designed to address a wide array of topics from the Status of Women to the Environment]]> 2017-03-21 11:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cmac0512/rx6c9mbfmmsy/wish/161445353 cmac0512 https://padlet.com/cmac0512/rx6c9mbfmmsy/wish/161446052 2017-03-21 11:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cmac0512/rx6c9mbfmmsy/wish/161446052 Questions for Guided Practice cmac0512 https://padlet.com/cmac0512/rx6c9mbfmmsy/wish/161473161 1.
