Argument found in 13th: The abuse of the 13th amendment is an extension to slavery, which was supposedly abolished when the it was introduced, because of the exception clause found in the amendment. AGREE: The 13th amendment has an exception clause that states slavery and involuntary services are illegal except as a punishment for crime. After the Civil had ended and slaves were let free, many police officers were arresting African American people. The south was able to use the African American prisoners as slaves.
The Constitution of the Unites States had many problems that had to be fixed by adding amendments. Once an amendment is ratified by the majority it trumps what the Constitution originally stated is the law. The Twelfth Amendment was added to the flawed Constitution, so voting for President and Vice President was separate. The goal was to fix situations like the 1796 and 1800 elections. The Twelfth Amendment was added to the United States Constitution, because the 1796 and 1800 elections found faults in the Constitution, and these additions caused major changes in the executive branch.
March 15th, 2023 Nicholas Sparacino 8A Social Studies Teacher of North Point Middle School 2275 W Meyer Rd, Wentzville, MO 63385 Dear Mr. Sparacino, Is our country's “most valuable” resource ever meant to exist? Are the banks and money we have now considered…..unconstitutional? After the USA became independent in 1776, we were put in serious national debt and our founding father Alexander Hamilton wanted to create a national bank to support our economy.

Even though the the communist party in America faded quickly after World War two Americans still feared communist sympathizers would help the Solvit Union and China commit acts of espionage.

To the highly-valued citizens of the United States of American, we believe in order for our newly-founded country to thrive, our constitution, the Articles of Confederation, and the system of government which it has formed must be replaced and a new constitution be adopted. We believe the Articles of Confederation have proven to be ineffective and the source of many hardships in our nation. To strive to solve this significant challenge, we have created and propose a new constitution, the Constitution of the United States, and federal government. As an explanation for our reasoning, this pamphlet has been written to clarify the Articles of Confederation’s weaknesses, how the new constitution can fix these problems, and present how the Constitution
advantage, powerful military leaders which served them nicely in the beginning battles. However motivation for equality drove the Union to victory. Although, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and pushed for the 13th amendment, which he believed was crucial for peace, he did not live to see the abolishment of racial prejudice. The 13th Amendment commands that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, exceptas a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United.
The American Civil Liberties Union or better known as the ACLU has been around for almost a hundred years know. The ACLU derived from the National Civil Liberties Bureau which was co-founded in 1917 during the World War 1 by an attorney activist Crystal Eastman, and Roger Nash Baldwin. The focus of the CLB was on primarily anti-was speech, freedom of speech, and on supporting people who did not want to serve in World War 1. Now, during the time of November 1919 and January 1920 there were raids called the “Palmer Raids.” An attorney general by the name of Mitchell Palmer began rounding up and deporting people.
The constitution was a collaboration project where several different people and ideologies worked together to form a fair and just government in the colonies. Due to the large number of different ideas battling for dominance within the formation of this new government, compromise had to be made. This level of compromise allows the modern interpreter to find the existence, both in large and small ways, of the ongoing battle in regard to individual and civil rights in every part of the document. These contributors had very different ideas about the concept of ‘rights’ and more specifically, their ideal level of priority within a society. Locke, Rousseau, Paine, Dickinson, Madison and Blackstone all had varying ideas of what this balance should
The Tenth Amendment was first drafted by colonists to ensure that the new form of government they were trying to establish would never have an excessive amount of control over the population. While colonists were under British rule, they constantly encountered the problem of King George lll having total control over every single person. The Tenth Amendment states the federal government only has the rights delegated in the constitution, otherwise, it goes to the people or the states. The government and citizens are aware of their rights because the Supreme Court has ruled laws that go directly to the people, even though it doesn't specify what these powers are. The court case, McCulloch v. Maryland directly references the amendment in 1819.
The positive effect that brought by the charter of right and freedom During the October crisis the privacy and properties were invaded by the government severely. The rights of the residents were ignored. But thanks to the Charter of Right and Freedom the government can do it no more. The charter stated specific list of residential rights which created positive effects on protecting civilian’s right in Canada The Charter of Right and Freedom protected and promoted the right if the civilians of Canada.

The Eighth Amendment of the Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, stating “excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” Although the Eighth Amendment is typically used in relation to the discussion of the death penalty or the evaluation of a long prison sentence for a nonviolent crime, in 2011 the Supreme Court used the cruel and unusual punishment portion of the amendment to assess Brown v. Plata, a case which determined whether or not the Eighth Amendment protection is violated if prisoners are deprived of basic sustenance. In the case of Brown v. Plata, 46,000 prisoners were to be released from a federal correction facility as a result of unprecedented overcrowding within a
The ERA Must Be In Our Constitution “Aunt Alexandra’s vision of my deportment involved playing with small stoves, tea sets, and wearing the Add-A-Pearl necklace she gave me when I was born,” (Lee 92-93). In this quote from To Kill A Mockingbird, Aunt Alexandra is telling Scout that she must grow up and act like a proper lady. She believes that girls are supposed to play with tea sets and jewelry and not wear overalls, and she believes that women are supposed to be sophisticated and proper, and not do things men do. The ideas have been ingrained in her because it is the built-in misogyny that many people were raised around. It was always believed that women did not deserve the rights that men do and that they did not deserve to work or make
Civic Reflection Issue 1- Change in Point of View The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a bill of rights which outlines and protects the basic rights and fundamental freedoms that all Canadians have.

Introduction Civil Justice System The civil justice system exists in order to enable individuals, businesses, and local and central government to vindicate, and where necessary, enforce their civil legal rights and obligations, whether those rights are private or public. It ensures that the rights and protection of citizens are called for. The rule of law dictates that government should not abuse their powers as per AV Dicey’s concept of the rule of law. In addition, the civil courts endorse economic activity, allowing contracts to be made between strangers because rights are taken care of in the courts if they are breached.
