Liberty: A Voluntary Argument In Controversy

79 Words1 Page

Moreover, it is not clear to a legal certainty that Liberty could not recover the requisite amount in controversy. In calculating the amount in controversy, both money damages and injunctive relief are considered. Even if Liberty could only recover the $60,456.25 in money damages alleged in its motion for summary judgment, the injunctive relief sought has enough value to enable Liberty to reach the requisite amount in controversy. For these reasons, the judgment of the district court is reversed.

  • Good Argument Analysis: The Constitution Day

    87 Words  | 1 Pages

    The "Constitution Day" article makes a good argument of stating how the Constitution has changed and how we should have listen to George Washington 's warnings. Yet this article bored me due to the overuse of purple prose instead of just out right saying how much the Constitution has been warped. It 's a good argument and I can agree with the fact that the documents that shape the US have been used against the population but I could due with less round about talking and a direct claim.

    I was recently writing for a “news” reporting website called Guardian Liberty Voice. It all started in a long hunt to find a good website to work for. Through surfing the net, I came across this program, which guaranteed a job after completing a “Boot Camp.” The first time going through it, it was two weeks of daily “lessons,” followed by Hell Day, which required me to have twenty-one articles published on the website to pass the course. The next time going through, it was three weeks long, and with even more bullshit than the first time 'round.

  • Liberty In John Winthrop's Little Speech On Liberty

    944 Words  | 4 Pages

    John Winthrop, a wealthy English puritan lawyer and governor who was leading founder of the Massachusetts Bay colony, had a completely different perspective when it came to liberty. In “Little Speech on Liberty” He says that liberty is one of the great questions that trouble the country and says he sees a “great mistake” in the country concerning its meaning. Winthrop defines two completely different liberties that he believes are prevalent in society, natural liberty and civil or federal liberty. Natural liberty he describes as being a liberty we share with creatures and beasts. In this, man has the ability to do whatever he desires— in essence this liberty gives you the will to do either good or evil, it is your own decision.

    Two Concepts of Liberty Summary of the essay: In this essay, the famous political theorist Isaiah Berlin tries to differentiate between the notions of positive liberty and negative liberty. Berlin briefly discusses the meaning of the word ‘freedom’. He says that a person is said to free when no man or body of men interferes with his activity. He makes reference to many philosophers in the essay, but there is more emphasis on the thoughts of J. S. Mill and Rousseau, the former being a firm advocate of negative liberty while the latter believes strongly in the ideals of positive liberty.

  • Liberty And Equality In America

    134 Words  | 1 Pages

    I believe that liberty and equality for all will always be important, but not just to the American society, but to all people. Every individual across the world deserves equality and liberty because they are basic human rights. I do believe that liberty and equality was more important in the past only because so many more people have been able to achieve it since then. If Abraham Lincoln hadn 't worked hard to present these ideals to the American culture, we would be living in a very different world. A world where women would be deprived of basic rights, and where children 's education would not mean as much as it does today.

  • Life Liberty And The Pursuit Of Happiness

    120 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the article Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, it states, “...the freedom of the fundamentalist and the atheist, the female and the male, the black and the Asian, the gay and the straight.” I believe the American Dream means happiness. It means opportunity for everyone, no matter who you are, and it means equality to those of different colors, genders, and sexualities. America should be a place where you can be proud to be who you are and still be happy, as well as having opportunities and equality every step of the way. Being happy means doing the things you love, while having a family to love.
