After, he was demoted for disciplinary reasons, why was Paris promoted back to his rank before Harry Kim who never did anything that bad. It doesn't make sense to me. Harry Kim get's a permanent blame for sleeping with an alien and Tom Paris violates the prime directive and gets his rank back after only one year or so. Something is wrong.

I heard a rumor that the real reason that happened was because the writers were planning the Paris/Torres marriage and wanted the characters to have the same rank.
That sounds about right.
Actually Miles had it worse. He got demoted. Someone went back in time and changed his life by making him enlist into Starfleet instead of becoming an officer.
Poor Miles! He got beat up several times, imprisoned, tortured, framed by cardassians, poisoned with viruses, spent twenty years in a virtual prison, Was killed as a clone, was killed traveling though time and I am sure I am missing a few.
And the comic strip about the life of Miles O'Brien in the transporter room...
I don't think Founders have cells. Well they can transform into creatures with cells but they can also transform into inanimate objects like rocks that don't have cells. They don't just look like a rock, they actually become a rock. I assume so anyway which is why the Federation couldn't just detect them with a tricorder. Their neurological system must be unique too since when they turn into a rock they can still think.
I don't think they really become rocks, they just trick sensors into believing that they are.
I don't want to get into an argument on how slavery is awesome or whatever, but Monticello is just a house. A house built with slave labor (just like the White House), but still a house. Historical sites are sites that promote history, so I imagine a 24th century tour of Monticello would talk about slavery and how terrible it was (among other things, like I think is done today).
Jefferson (and Washington) are on Mount Rushmore. Which exists in Star Trek, or at least in deleted scenes from Star Trek V.
Does that mean that they were able to repair the damage done by the Martians in "Mars Attack"?
I wasn't one who mentioned Monticello.
I think the only chance the Borg might have had to have assimilated the Founders would have been to go to their planet and assimilated the entire ocean o' goo all at once. And even the, nearly impossible.
I was just using that as an example, because I wasn't sure what you meant by this:
Since Monticello is one of those homes.
But regardless, surely the Ferengi and the Vulcans and the Bolians would all equally have barbaric and hypocritical pasts. And we know the Vulcans keep alot of their old junk around, so I don't think they'd have a problem with us doing the same. The Klingons, great allies of the Federation, are doing some barbaric and horrifying stuff well into the 24th century.
What if they already found one of the hundred? there were already a couple or more within their space. Or worse...there was one on Species 1's homeworld. TSupposehat means they would be more than equipped to assimilate or contain a founder immediately.
They probably already encountered a several jem'hadar ships when they ventured into the Gamma Quadrant.

Surely, you saw how the folks of the 23rd and 24th Century had been brainwashed into thinking folks of our time, were barbaric. Imagine hw they'd think about folks who lived in the 18th Century.
Remember...Daystrom himself was black. So was the inventor of the transporter. So was Cochrane's closest friend and aide when building the Phoenix. The attitudes of the founding fathers regarding the slaves...Jefferson himself thought they were inferior and should be shipped off back to Africa or somewhere.
The folks of the 23rd and 24th centuries would have found that...unfathomable.

... And he was married to Keiko!
She was cute, though! She was too cute for him, I won't deny that. So, he did well, on that front. But she needed a good talking to. Instead, he hid in the pub with Julian, playing darts, every night ... afraid to go home.
On the other hand, they spent months apart which allowed O'Brien to live like a bachelor in his quarters.
