Moreover, in chapter three, in deals with the Confederation Period in which the First Continental Congress creates and passes laws that would help for the nation to embrace religious pluralism and with this embracement that it would be a distinguishing feature of American history.

But hey, before I go off on a nostalgic rant, let me back up. Fancy counterargument: yes, a majority of Americans are Christian. And yes, we should all have some basic knowledge about this mighty, influential scripture. But why must we drag it into politics? All American politics are based off of the American Constitution.
Was John really a bad king? Through out history King John has been portrayed as a villainous king for example in the legends of Robin Hood he is shown as a greedy and cruel ruler who treated his people unfairly. However this may not be an accurate picture of him as for example he fed hundreds of paupers on feast days and he was hard working, often travelling the country and sitting in on court cases. Many of the problems he faced in running the country were in fact caused by Richard 1 who had neglected England. Sources from the time of John describe John as a poor leader and that he was greedy for money.
Lauren Tyce November 18 2012 AP World History 2A Based on the following documents, analyze the perceptions of good government, c. 2200 B.C.E-700 C.E. Identify and explain what additional type of document(s) or sources would help analyze the perceptions of good government in this era c. 2200 B.C.E to 600 C.E.

The conception of what a good government was varied among civilizations.
Freedom of religion is a favored value in the American constitutional system. It is the first guarantee of the First Amendment. The first Amendment was enacted against the background of an established church in Great Britain during the colonial period and the official persecution of religious dissenters in Great Britain and colonial America. This amendment provides double protection to freedom of religion with two clauses. These two clauses, the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause, concern the relationship between government and religion.
Although religious values and morals don’t guide and rule countries anymore it is not to be said that they haven’t given countries a foundation for their laws and core values. An appropriate example of this is the United States of America many of their laws are based on the Ten Commandments of the bible, thou shall not kill thou shall be nice to your neighbor, though shall treat others the way you want to be treated and thou shall not steal. These are important examples of legislation and social conduct in American society. America is also a good example of religion still being used in core values and practices. One is the pledge of allegiance which says “under god” this shows America’s devotion to god.
Algernon’s attitude is the one that prevails leading the audience to identify it with the voice of Wilde: “In all important matters, style, not sincerity, is the essential”. 2 Throughout “The Importance of Being Earnest” there is an inversion of the serious and the trivial. It is expressed by Algernon when he says, “I hate people who are not serious about meals. It is so shallow of them” It is a “serious comedy for trivial people” because the triviality of food carries serious meanings. The way you serve tea expresses a reaction to power and status.
Religious traditions for peace can be found in many cultures, fitting many of the paradigms that various societies demand. The Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam all have traditions that promote peace, yet are unfortunately displayed as followed by few. Using the eight cultural definitions defined by William S. Stewart in Understanding Politics, the following paper will attempt to place the eight cultures in a context of peace as it relates to the Abrahamic religious traditions. Teleology, or the philosophical belief that there is order intrinsic in the universe, is a very important religious foundation which can or cannot be compatible with various political cultures. Traditional anarchist and Tory corporatist cultures may find that Teleology’s precepts are very compatible with Abrahamic religious beliefs.
This concept is also related to the idea of the unconscious as an important factor in determining and explaining human behavior and action. William James distinguished between two kinds of religion institutional and personal religion. William James interpretation of Institutional religion was religious groups or organizations. William James thought it played an important part in a society's culture. William James interpretation of Personal religion was that individuals can have a religious experience and can be experienced regardless of whatever culture he or she is from.
As this reversal happens and the Merchant satirizes Januarie blindness, Chaucer reveals the Merchant's blindness, giving him the very significance that he had spent his whole tale trying to deny. Januarie falsifies and destroys import as he loses himself in his "fantasye", reducing reality to objects that he believes he can mold to his own lustful imagination. Thus, he simplifies and subsumes all else under currency or property. Indeed, he exhibits the very traits of his narrator, a merchant-someone who purchases merchandise only to turn around and sell it at a profit. Januarie, therefore, concerns himself with the worth of an object rather than the object itself and, as he tries to find a bride, quite literally tries to shop for the girl who will become his wife: "Heigh fantasye and curious bisynesse Fro day to day gan in the soule impresse Of Januarie aboute his marriage.
