Thomas A. Bailey’s next book shows Wilson and how the United States betrayed him and his efforts, and the Treaty of Versailles, which included the League of Nations he tried to shape. Things didn’t end up working out for Woodrow Wilson in the long run and many people of the United States were turned against him by rumors of the treaty and what it contained and actually meant. After the conference he comes back as “the Messiah from Paris,” then it ends with Wilson and his departure from the White House. Bailey bashes on Wilson early in his book portraying Wilson as a lazy, strong-headed man. It takes Wilson nineteen days to submit the pact with an appropriate message.

Despite this, Zenger’s defense found every opportunity to present that truth should be a justifiable defense in a libel case.

Think how simple life would be on earth today if that was the only thing we needed to stay away from. Leaving one tree alone versus murder, rapists and thieves and not to mention high political figures that have wreaked havoc on the world today because of this misinterpretation of freedom.

Because the death penalty causes such a heated debate among interested individuals, politicians often use the conflict to acquire public support. There are many pros and cons pertaining to capital punishment.In 1972, the Supreme Court abolished the death penalty because it inflicted cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution. The number of people executed and later found to be innocent disturbed the Court. The Court also felt that the death penalty was being unfairly applied to minorities and poor people.

Shaming was a powerful tool in years gone by and it can be once again if used in the right way.
