Rights amendment

In 1791, the Bill of Rights was created to specify the individual rights of every human being. Madison James is the creator of the 10 Amendments, he believed it was necessary to create the document to further explain what the Constitution will provide for each person. The Bill of Rights gives every citizen the right to freedom of religion, freedom of speech, as well as the freedom of the press, and lastly the due process rights. This document was formed when the Constitution in 1789 was drafted

Pros and Cons of the Equal Rights Amendment The Equal Rights Amendment began its earliest discussions in 1920. These discussions took place immediately after two-thirds of the states approved women's suffrage. The nineteenth century was intertwined with several feminist movements such as abortion, temperance, birth control and equality. Many lobbyists and political education groups formed in these times. One such organization is the Eagle Forum, who claims to lead the pro-family movement. On

Constitution, the First Amendment states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” (Gold). Historically, as demonstrated in cases such as Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier, the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as the government in general, has well-upheld this amendment, but starting sometime

The history of the Equal Rights Amendment can be closely related to women’s rights advocacy, that started toward the very beginning of the history of the United States dating back to the days of Abigail Adams. The United States constitution had been first interpreted as rights granted to certain white males, leaving other majority groups suppressed and working for equal rights. In 1923, the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced to congress. Since then, the amendment was introduced to every session

The Boundless Push for the Equal Rights Amendment The progress that lead to the ratification process of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), in 1972, began over a century earlier. The advocates for women’s rights began their efforts in 1848 at the first Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York , where a meeting of 300 men and women was held which called for justice for women in a society that limited their privileges. By 1900, women had gained the right to keep their earnings and own property

changing and so are our rights. The First Amendment, freedom of speech, is taking the world by storm. Whether it be at sporting events or on college campuses, our First Amendment rights must be upheld. College is meant to provide each student with knowledge; ensuring they experience viewpoints from thousands of people, and taking away our First Amendment rights is taking away our opportunity to learn and further our education. 2017 isn't the first time the First Amendment has been brought up for

Campaigning for the Equal Rights Amendment in the early twentieth century, women found it particularly difficult to have their efforts opposed by other women. One of the hovering questions that went along with the proposal of the amendment was whether those supporting equality for women, advocating the equality of opportunity, would also support the enablement of women to be freely different from men without consequence. There were passionate feelings on both sides of the arguments and this debate

This amendment proposed to demolish all legal distinctions “on account of sex.” Paul’s opinion, the ERA logically followed from wining the right to vote. Having acquired political equality, she insisted, women no longer needed special protection legally, but equal access to employment, education, and all the other opportunities

An important provision of the Bill of Rights is the protection of freedom to publish, as provided by the First Amendment. This protection applies to all kinds of publications, even those that print unpopular opinions. In most censorship cases, every attempt is made to suppress the written word after publication, not before. Minnesota passed a law in 1925 that sought to prevent newspapers, magazines, and other publications from printing obscene, malicious, scandalous and defamatory material. This

Gillette walked is narcotic dog around the respondents vehicle. The dog detected an odor of marijuana which was located in the trunk and the respondent was arrested. Caballes's Fourth Amendment Rights were not violated, which most would probably argue that State Trooper Gillette violated Caballes. In fact the Fourth Amendment allows a dog to “sniff” around the outside of a vehicle without a warrant and considers this not invading any personal space or a citizens privacy. The only time this would be a
