The Context Of The Second Amendment
.... that it does give people the right to
bear arms, but only if you belong to a certain group.
This group is defined by the beginning preamble to the Second Amendment,
‘A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State'.
This preamble is set out to regulate the other half of the Amendment. What is a
militia? “[A] militia is a body of men enrolled for military service, and
called out periodically for drill and exercises, but serving full time only in
emergency”(Hook, 25). This is talking about a State sponsored militia that is

The Corruption Of Power

government perhaps, and often lead to victory, therefore losing rights that they
have originally been given.
Recent problems have occurred involving the Cincinnati Reds owner, Marge
Schott. By exercising her freedom of speech and her opinion, she was forced to
lose her property, being her Major League Baseball team the Cincinnati Reds.
She stated that what Adolph Hitler did in World War II to the Jewish people was
right. To most people, this statement has many arguments that are very
different from her opinion. Given the fact that out of all Americans today, two
percent are m .....

Our Living Shield: The First Amendment
.... realistic terms during its latter half of utilization.
During the first century of the First Amendment, the First Amendment was paid a
glance by all when it came to actually carrying out the freedoms guaranteed by
this amendment. For example, in 1794, Pennsylvanian backcountry farmers
protested a whiskey tax. The protesters were not violent such as those of the
previous Shay's Rebellion. George Washington sent in a militia to crush the
rebellion denying them of their First Amendment right to "peaceably assemble."
Later, in 1836, anti sl avery newspaper editor James G. Birney had been warned
that his newspaper "The Philanthropis .....

What Is The Federal Government's Single Greatest Responsibility To The Public?
.... attractions in
America, but they don't receive the recognition that they deserve from the
government. Without government funds, these cities don't have enough money
for upkeeping and allow their images to become tarnished. This will cause a
domino effect because less tourists will want to visit America. Less
tourism means that these cities have less revenues and less importance to
the government. Less importance means that they will receive even less aid.
Such an effect will ruin any bright spots which still are in the U.S.
The public created the U.S. government to ensure that there will
always be a wise and fair leader for .....

Independence Of Judiciary In Australia
.... of the judiciary is crucial of a democratic community because when
judges are presiding over cases, there must be no interference and intimidation
from the external forces. The independence issues touches upon the conflict of
authority and freedom. If the doctrine of separation of powers did not exist,
the authority would not be prevented from interfering in the administration of
justice, therefore the basic freedoms of the citizens would not be guaranteed.
It is up to the judiciary to exercise according to the law. It would be without
the independence of the judiciary that the principles of rule of law and natural
justice .....

The Right To A Free Trial
.... a
jury will be discussed. The television special, Inside the Jury Room, showed a
videotaping of a real life jury as seen in a small criminal courtroom. The case
was Wisconsin v. Leroy Reed, a criminal trial for the possession of a firearm by
an ex-convict. The simulated jury concerned an ex-military man who shot two
police officers, killing one and seriously injuring another. The police had
broken into his house because there was probable cause to believe he had drugs.
The man shot the officers because he thought they were robbing his house. The
Hollywood version, titled 12 Angry Men, revolved around a teenage boy who was

one has the absolute right to freedom of expression, where the Tinkers said that
only banning armbands and not other political symbols was unconstitutional. The
school board said that the armbands were disruptive to the learning environment,
where the Tinkers said they were not. Finally, the school board said that order
in the classroom, where political controversy should be discussed, is entitled
to constitutional protection. The Tinkers believed that the armbands were worn
as the students views, and therefore should be constitutionally protected and

would do anything. Even if that meant voting out who they voted in. Also if a

That is because my family wants the best military in the world.

Whats Wrong With Communism

government-provided, bringing about a poor population. Most of the rights
Americans think of as “a given” are neglected in your area. I know I cannot

the way some of you think.
