The Oklahoma Constitution and the United States Constitution have a variety of similarities and differences, thus creating an array of topics of discussion. The very structure of the state 's constitution holds close similarities to the U.S. Constitution, given the fact that it was ratified over a century later. At the time of the making of the Oklahoma Constitution, there were arguments between the left and right areas of the state. These arguments were based on the fact that the people involved in the making of the state 's constitution wanted to have the area that was labeled "Indian territory" and make it a secure part of the state of Oklahoma. After doing so, the two areas merged and created the document that the state still uses to this day.

In An Example for All the Land, Kate Masur focuses on the struggle over issues of racial equality in Washington D.C. during the Civil War and Reconstruction. The title of this book comes from a statement made by Senator Charles Sumner that Washington D.C. was “an example for all the land.” This book was written with the use of an extensive amount of research. Masur used newspapers from this time period, United States government reports on Washington D.C., and many other sources to gain the information used to write this book. Masur’s main idea and focus of this book was to look into detail on the concept of equality. Masur’s book is broken down in seven chapters but actually could be broken down into two parts.

Anne Bruner Eales’ book, Army Wives on the American Frontier: Living by the Bugles, largely agrees with Fredrick Jackson Turner’s thesis. Both Turner and Eales have the idea that the American frontier shaped and changed people, creating a unique American. Throughout the three chapters of Eales’ book, there were similarities and differences between the chapters and Turner’s thesis. The two major similarities between Eales’ book and Turner’s thesis are the ideas of unique change in the people of the frontier and the frontier creating a unique American. The differences between Turner and Eales’ thoughts are very minor, Turners talks about generalized change in the American man and his family, whereas Eales talks about the change in women .

Within this essay there are three main topics that I wish to cover; they are as follows Dress Code, Student Free Speech, and Internet Use. Every case within these topics is argued with the First Amendment in hand, though not all of them conclude the same. I hope you enjoy educating yourself on this tedious topic! Dress Code When you think of dress code in schools, the 1969 case “Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District” comes to mind. It is by far the most cited and discussed

The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by Abraham Lincoln on January 1,1863. The proclamation applied to the states that had seceded from the union. It also freed parts of the Confederacy that came under Northern control. The most important part was that the freedom the proclamation promised depended upon Union victory.

When Theodore Roosevelt was elected to the Presidency of The United States 1901 He ran as a Conservative progressive. One of the things that Roosevelt was adamant about was the outdoors.

Leanne Howe works to challenge and confirm stereotypes of indigenous Choctaw peoples through her novel Shell Shakers. Although Howe presents some stereotypes that she selects to be acceptable of Choctaw culture to her readers, she makes it obvious that she is attempting to counter and change many stereotypes of indigenous Choctaw peoples through providing detailed accounts of Choctaw lives and proceedings. Stereotypes of indigenous peoples continue through the generalization of all groups, and the judgement passed upon those groups to fit western ideals (Berkhofer 25). Due to the “persistence and perpetuation” of stereotypes then the task of books aimed at countering stereotypes “becomes one of delineating that continuity in spite of seeming

Mexican American believe in the concept of the American dream; therefore, they sought the best economic opportunity for their situation, most commonly agribusiness opportunity.
