Race is, a group of people sharing the same culture, history, language, or an ethnic group. In the USA, we are made up of literally hundreds of different ethnic groups, with different races. From African Americans to mexicans, and from scottish to Chinese, we all are different. Does that mean we can put them down, and fight them because of the difference? On September 25, 1789, the United State’s government passed a bill, The Bill of Rights. This bill gives every US citizen, 27 rights. From the freedom of religion, to abolitioning slavery. The fourteenth amendment says we all have the Right to be free from discrimination. So even with a law that says you can’t discrimination, people do.
Why is discrimination a law? Why does the this hurt people?
In the development process of America, its sound that legislative system has a very solid foundation for the construction of American society. The Bill of Rights as one of the successful act in America, its importance position has never been ignored. The Bill of Rights was introduced by James Madison and came into effect on December 15, 1791. It has given the powerful support for the improvements of American society. The Bill of Rights has become an essential part in guaranteeing the further development of culture. The influence of The Bill of Rights can be easily found in its cultural revolutionizing. It can not only guarantee the harmonious relationship among all the walk of society, but can also promote the construction of harmonious
The Constitution of the United States was made through compromises that not everyone agreed on but they came to an agreement on what they thought it should be. Before all of the fifty states were founded there was not a Bill of Rights, it was not until the new government was up and running before the Bill of Rights was added. The reason for this was that the framers of the constitution did not realize that the Bill of Rights was necessary to have at the time. A certainly important choice that was made was how our government was to be
Through the years America has been built on freedom. Freedom to choose, freedom of religion, freedom to speak, and freedom for just about any person to complete anything they wish within that of the law. These laws have already been place in spot to keep and protect our freedom.
If I were a Supreme Court Justice during the 1800's, I would interpret that Congress intended to incorporate the Bill of Rights into privileges of national citizenship. The Bill of Rights gave citizens their civil rights and helped restrict the control of the federal government. It did not apply to states at first, but most of the State constitutions included parts of the Bill of Right and were not required to. The bill outlines multiple rights such as right to freedom of speech, religion practice along with many other issues addressed. The Bill of Rights became some of the initial documents that pronounced distinct things the Government cannot control regarding the rights of citizens. Majority of government documents leading up to the Bill
On July 9, 1868 the 14th amendment to the constitution was ratified. This amendment granted citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States," which included former slaves recently freed. Although the slaves were freed, there was still discrimination all around them. Discrimination is defined as "differences between things or treating someone as inferior based on their race". In 1800’s through 1900 there was a huge amount of cases that occurred due to violations of the 14th Amendment. Two well known landmark Supreme Court cases involving the 14th Amendment are Plessy vs. Ferguson and Brown vs. Board of Education.
The Bill of Rights is the most important section of a document that has defined the American experience since 1788. Each of the ten amendments are important, of course, but there is always one out of a group that stands high above the others. Think of Les Miserables without Jean Valjean, or the American Revolution without George Washington, or 'The Federalist' without Alexander Hamilton. Not to say that the adventures of Javert and Les Amis de l'ABC wouldn't make a compelling story, or that Washington conducted the entire revolution on his own, or that Jay and Madison didn't make significant contributions to the eighty-five essays, but that there are individuals more important than the rest, individuals that leave a longer-lasting impression. No one is praising
One very monumental event in the history of the United States is the ratification and signing of the United States Constitution.This took place in the year 1787 .The Bill of Rights is actually the part of the constitution that defines the rights of the citizens of the United States.This significant document helped spell out individual rights and freedoms.Although the signing of the U.S. Constitution solved many problems it failed to solve the problem of discrimination against African Americans,women and gays and along with that the ongoing issue of Slavery.
When controversy changes a nation. In today's society we pay little attention on how the past affected the creation of the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights was a gift from the antifederalist, they feared the centralization of power in the national government. Throughout their propaganda campaigns the anti federalist pointed out that their was no guaranties of the people's rights in the body of the constitution. In fearful defeat the federalist made sure the bill of rights were added to the constitution. If it wasn't for the antifederalist the bill of rights would have never existed. Many of the amendments have been violated throughout historical event. The fifth and the sixth amendment were violated during the salem witch trials in salem
The bill of rights is a popular document that was not originally in the US constitution, but anti federalists wanted a bill of rights really bad because supposedly they were afraid of a strong central government. They did not want another king so some states refused the constitution until there was a bill of rights. Along with being afraid of a central government they wanted a limited government so that government could not control them. The anti federalists also thought the government would not protect their individual rights enough so they wanted a bill of rights.
After the Revolution, the States adopted their own constitutions, many of which contained a Bill of Rights. The Americans still faced the challenge of creating a central government for their new nation. In 1777 the Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation, which were ratified in 1781. Under the Articles, the states retained their “sovereignty, freedom and independence,” while the national government was kept weak and inferior. Over the next few years it became evident that the system of government that had been chosen was not strong enough to completely settle and defend the frontier, regulating trade, currency and commerce, and organizing thirteen states into one union.
Ever since 1965 when Justice Minister Pierre Trudeau said the historic words: “the state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation,” Canada has been steadily increasing its acceptance of the LGBT+ community. LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender, with the plus extending to those who are intersex and anyone who does not identify as straight (having sexual and/or romantic attraction to another gender) or cisgender (having one’s gender identity match the one in which they were assigned at birth), the two “norms” of our society. The country’s first strides in equality came in the arrest of Everett Klippert, a gay mechanic in the Northwest Territories, in 1967. This act brought a long series of protests that lead to several
Over the years, equality has enhanced due to the improvement of presidential classifications. Up until the election of 2017, equality and civil rights have improved. Majority of the people have gained their civil rights, while equality has become more superior. There has been some complications with new rights. Society also lacks a supply of inspiring authority figures lately, more than in the past.
The video we had watched was really interesting. I really resonated with the idea that no matter how hard Mexican Americans tried, they were never good enough. There are many minority groups that feel this way within the United States, including women. Civil Rights are still something people are fighting for today. This story was unique in the specific group it helped, but it was not unique in what the group was working toward. Discrimination is something that many people face and have faced, but today there are more programs and services in place to ensure that rules and laws are fair. It is important to acknowledge that change has happened because more people of color were allowed to have input in government and areas of society.
The Bill of Rights is a list of limitations on the power of the government. Firstly, the Bill of Rights is successful in assuring the adoption of the Constitution. Secondly, the Bill of Rights did not address every foreseeable situation. Thirdly, the Bill of Rights has assured the safety of the people of the nation. Successes, failures, and consequences are what made the Bill of Rights what they are today.
During the next few years the Bill of Rights began to be accepted by the
