Identify and explain the two main international law principles regarding the legitimacy of state sovereignty.
Identify only, no explanation - 0 points
Identify and explain one principle - 200 points
1. Declarative - According to the “declaratory‟ theory a state should possess the following qualifications: (a) a defined territory; (b) a permanent population; (c) a government; and (d) a capacity for international relations
2. Constitutive - According to the “constitutive‟ theory, a State only becomes a State by virtue of recognition by the other States. Once the three factual criteria of the declaratory theory have been met, this “factuality‟ must then be confirmed by the existing States. This doctrine has proved untenable in practice, as there is no international body with the authority to acknowledge the existence of States on behalf of the entire community of States. Therefore, each State may individually decide whether a new State has come into being (and recognize it).

Which event in the 1990s did constructivists use to argue against realist theories + explain how that event is used as an argument.
Event: 200pts
Explanation: 300 pts
The fall of the Soviet Union - the end of the Cold War
Constructivists use the fall of the Soviet Union to argue against realism by highlighting how changes in ideas, identities, and shared beliefs drove the collapse, not just material power shifts as realists argue. For constructivists, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev's "new thinking" was a fundamental ideological shift that redefined the USSR from a "communist superpower" to a "normal social democratic great power," which ultimately led to the dismantling of the old system. This contrasts with realism, which focuses on the distribution of material power, and shows how non-material factors like norms, ideas, and identity are crucial in international relations.

On Teachers’ Day, An has sent Mrs. Leom (his Math teacher) a letter commending her of her teaching work. With the letter, he also gave her a question which is part of the Advanced Math Paper on Vietnam’s Secondary School Leaving Exam. Solve this question (write in on a piece of paper then show to exco/to junior exco)
If a²b + b²c + c²a + 16 = ab² + bc² + ca²
Prove that (a-b)(b-c)(c-a) = 16
a²b + b²c + c²a + 16 = ab² + bc² + ca²
16 = ab² + bc² + ca² - a²b - b²c - c²a
Since we have to prove that (a-b)(b-c)(c-a) = 16
LHS = (a-b)(b-c)(c-a)
= (ab - b² - ac + bc)(c-a)
= abc - bc² - ac² + bc² - a²b + ab² + a²c - abc
= ab² + bc² + ca² - a²b - b²c - c²a
= 16
= RHS (proven)
