What was the president Wilson's peace plan at the end of World War 1 called?
President Wilson's plan was, "Peace without victory." It was an attempt to end the war without imposing harsh conditions on the loser in the hopes of preventing future wars. His proposal was called the 14 Points. It was 14 proposals that called for an amicable peace, self determination for colonies, freedom of the seas, no secret alliances and more. For him the most important point was the creation of a League of Nations that would arbitrate future disputes and head off war. Sadly, the European powers (England, France, and to some extent Italy) all had an agenda that compromised these points and imposed a harsh peace on Germany, leading to a quest for revenge, the rise of Adolf Hitler and World War II; all the things Wilson hoped to avoid.

Which was one of Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points?
The fourteenth point, which established the League of Nations seems to be Wilson's favorite and attracted the most attention. It was to be a forum for nations to discuss and settle their grievances without having to resort to war. He pushed hard to get it included in the peace treaty and later traveled over the United States in a futile effort to gain support for it.
His fifth point on settling colonial claims and which included the right of colonies to pursue their own best interests may have been actually been the most important step towards world peace.

Why Woodrow Wilson's fourteen points doomed to fail?
Because it was - wherever possible - even-handed. Wilson foresaw that a peace treaty that would only be out to 'punish' defeated Germany would cause great problems later on. And history proved Wilson right. Wilson however quickly discovered that England and France were out for revenge only. And these two countries held the moral high ground that it was they who had suffered the loss of hundreds of thousands of men and (in the case of France) who had suffered the immense ravaging of its country, and who had borne most of the war expenses on the Allied side.
Outnumbered two to one and knowing that his country and politicians wanted out of further involvement in European affairs anyway, Wilson quickly left the handling of the peace negotiations to a representative which further diminished the USA's chances of ever getting its Fourteen Points accepted.

Why did Woodrow Wilson send US Marines to Latin America?
The famous bandit-turned-revolutionary Pancho Villa was opposing the Mexican government of Venustiano Carranza, which had been recognized by the US. His troops killed 17 US employees of the Mexican railway, and Villa later attacked and burned part of the town of Columbus, New Mexico.
President Woodrow Wilson thought that supporting Carranza was the best way to create a stable Mexican government. He refused to allow arms to be supplied to Villa's army and allowed US railroads to transport Carranza's troops. After the attack on Columbus, Wilson ordered General John J. Pershing and 4800 troops to hunt for Villa and his men. Unfortunately, Villa had hidden and lost few men. The expedition ended after several engagements between the US troops and Mexican federal troops, even though both armies were ostensibly chasing Villa.

Conventions were called to determine what form the ultimate Constitution would take, what it would include and exclude, and generally how it would work. Every time the Supreme Court makes a ruling on a case they are in a sense making a statement about how they think the Constitution applies to that particular case, and thus, about what the constitution itself means in the present day.
