What is the difference between a meteor, meteoroid, and a meteorite?

A meteor is a flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up when it passes through our atmosphere. Meteor is the flash of light that is an effect of the debris, not the debris itself.  The debris is called a meteoroid. It is a piece of interplanetary matter usually so small that, if it enters the earths atmosphere it vaporizes completely and doesn't reach the planet's surface. If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite. the size of a meteorite can range from the size of a pebble to about 220 pounds or more.

Prior to the creation of the us constitution, the general view of representative government is that it only worked in very small-scale environments- essentially a city-state or smaller. otherwise, the actual reflection of popular will declined in the representatives (ie, the difference between 1 representative per 100 citizens and 1 representative per 10,000 citizens), and generally the whole process became inefficient and self-destructive.james madison, however, was like 'no beezy'. he remarked that small republics were prone to faction and thus collapsed quickly. a large republic, he said, had so many interests and factions that none could rule, and thus they had to moderate and compromise.
