The people who believed in a public education opposed the democratic idea. The Second Great Awakening reinforced the idea of equality for everyone, but the belief of Nativism held the people back from believing in the Second Great Awakening. Samuel Morse stated “no foreign who come into the country after law is passed shall ever be allowed the right of suffrage.” He is opposing the reform to give foreigners more rights. Morse’s strong ant foreignism was a direct opposition to the democratic ideal of equality. The education reform did seek to expand democratic ideal but not up to its full potential.
He wanted them to be able to fix their problems themselves and let the government do more important jobs and have to worry about them less. He wanted them to become strong, independent people, but when America’s situation was as bad as it was nothing the people did could get them out of that situation. The government needed to step in and help them get out of the hole because they were too far in to pull themselves out. This concept had good intentions, but failed miserably. FDR’s Liberal ideas set new ground rules for the coming presidents to follow and his spirit and work ethic were going to be the top bar the next Presidents would have to compete with, even still
If the United States does not change then nothing with the government will improve with how laws are handled. In order to keep protecting the people of the United States current laws and even new laws have to be modified or created to help keep order within the citizens. At times people will disagree with the change of a law or the creation of a new law, when this happens sometimes a riot may happen. Letters to the congress men and women are sent with a lot of signatures from others is included to show that, that person is not the only one that disagrees with the law. The government sees a need to evolve and change the way the laws are due to evolution.
I had hoped that as time went on people could have learned to better themselves and become more independent. Sadly that is not the reality that I am now faced with. Now just like any other time people know unjust laws exist; shall they be content to obey them, or shall they endeavor to amend them, and obey them until they have succeeded, or shall they transgress them at once? All men should ask themselves these questions when dealing with the laws of their government. A government in which the majority rule in all cases cannot be based on justice, this is a lesson that still must be learned by people now.
Our founding fathers fought for a separation of powers between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches to avoid conflict and rise of power in one or more branches. In that aspect I believe the government works in a constructive manner to ensure equality between the branches, however, in the matter of working in a constructive manner for the good of the people is less certain. This country is facing an economic crisis and there are members of both parties that would tell the general public they would like the war in Afghanistan and Iraq to come to an end when in reality an economic recovery is the last thing they want to happen in a foreign country. The Republican Party, for example, would have liked to see a higher unemployment rate towards the end of 2012 in hopes of decreasing the chances of the President’s re-election. Higher unemployment rates lead to a more devastating economic crisis resulting in the failure to re-elect a democratic President or more precisely, our current President.
In order to put laws into effect there must be a group of people who all agree that new laws should be implemented because of majority vote. You also need people like Angelina Grimke who stand up for what they believe in, and do not bend like a blade of grass in the wind because others may not see truth in their opinions. When you band together and your spirits become one you can prosper and see the seed of justice grow and flourish. The NOW administration will keep watering this new found justice and will fight to make sure it keeps growing and that nothing will stomp it out or quench its
The New World Times How will the constitution affect the presidential elections? In terms of this, the constitution will affect the elections because the federalists and the anti-federalists will oppose to vote for the right representative but because that the representative comes from that class…… the classes will only vote for their representative. This attempt will trouble the nation with election issues and pretty soon… the constitution will be abandoned set America for a monarchy. Editor’s opinion In my opinion the U.S constitution provided more detailed political laws that was able to help out the economy itself to prevent form having a dictatorship. However the constitution first needed to be discussed before being passed out
One group of proponents of the bill argued that the California Supreme Court did not have the right to rule the ban on same-sex marriages unconstitutional earlier this year. They said that Prop 8, rather, would ensure that the issue be democratically decided upon. But our founding fathers didn’t build this nation on a system of complete democracy, fearing the excess of the masses against minority groups. Instead, they created an electoral system and different branches of government to uphold the ideals of the constitution. This first camp ignores the historical dangers of allowing the majority to vote on a minority’s civil rights.
Do we still need to be alert in our pursuit of a more reasonable society? Well the supposedly civilian government has introduced reforms aiming for increased democratization and development, but the challenges are huge in a country characterized by serious and extensive human rights abuses. The international community has welcomed the changes and suspended most supports. Ongoing conflicts, weak institutions and corruption add to the risks. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 not only violated the Constitution and reduced individual liberty; it also failed to achieve its stated goals of promoting racial agreement and a color-blind society.
Depending on the education, the citizens receive they will use their power and the country's power in either a good way or a bad way. If people learn about countries helping each other out and being peaceful, then they will most likely do the same when they are in power. Of course there are a few times when this isn't the case. For a country to be positive they have to learn that being positive is the best way to be. They can learn about countries that used their power to do bad things but they need to see that in history it has never worked out and will not help the country out in the long run.
