So, oppressed people can not win the respect of oppressor. He believes in this way the oppressed become as evil as the oppressor because acquiescence is the easier way to encounter oppression, also it is not the moral way. In Dr. King’s opinion, the second way is resorting to physical violence and corroding hatred. He believes violence not only brings impermanent results, but also is impractical and immoral. According to King, it is impractical because it slows the process of ending the oppression for all, and it is immoral because it seeks humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding.
Not every state agrees that gay marriage is wrong and illegal, but if the federal government were to pass a amendment outlawing gay marriage then every state who allows gay marriage would have to declare it unconstitutional and against the law. This shows that the federal and state governments have different restrictions. The state government protects the people of the state but the federal government protects everything in this country. Once something is declared unconstitutional, it will over ride any state government policy. Some people have mixed emotions about the way the government works but overall the relationship between state and federal governments protect the everyday
Therefore the constitution should be amended to disallow birthright citizenship. Birthright Citizenship promotes having anchor babies and baby tourism, and does not allow people to choose whether they want to be a United States citizen. Birthright Citizenship also splits families because, while the children could be born in this country, their parents could be here illegally and easily get deported. Every year, more than twelve thousand births are contributed by illegal alien mothers who are hoping to take advantage of the 14th amendment. The US Constitution states that people born or naturalized in the United States are subject to the jurisdiction, thereof are citizens of the United States of America.
Document 3 also shows the dark side of the Electoral College. It shows that bribery from the candidates to the electors could be used to secure their votes. This obvious corruption alters the system to a point where the voters may as well not have even voted. Since their votes are almost completely disregarded, it is almost as though they did not even vote in the first place. Document 7 talks about unnecessary use of military force on the nation’s own citizens.
It is produced from a feeling of indignation and intolerance for the conduct that takes place in prostitution. That feeling brings the opponents to believe that the society finds itself in a vulnerable position. In this vulnerable state, the community becomes threatened by immorality, but how can they determine whether or not sex for money is immoral? Perhaps, one would consider a profession in taking people’s homes that have been affected by the Recession more criminal than prostitution, but that occupation by no means criminalized. This brings one to the conclusion that it is impossible to assume there is one shared morality because different opinions exist.
The death penalty must remain a valid source of punishment because with the court system we have today, most sentenced for murder do not receive a life sentence and are released back into the public after a couple years. Serving a life sentence only allows a criminal the opportunity of having their sentenced reduced. A firm and corrected death penalty system prevents criminals from ever plaguing the streets
They put this man to death without evidence to support that he committed this crime. Also the death penalty cost lots of money, people are sometimes falsely accused, and biblical reasons don’t support this. No one should be sentenced to death because of a mistake they made in their life. A person can just be in jail for the rest of their life instead of the government paying for someone to be put to death. It is twice as much money to have the death penalty than to have someone in jail.
The law was also adapted in order to get more violent individuals off of the street, instead it filled the prisons with nonviolent, low priority felons. In North Carolina a habitual felon is defined as "any person who has been convicted of or pled guilty to three felony offenses in any federal or state court
They consider the prohibition of an effective means of self-defense to be unethical. For instance, in Thomas Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," a quote from Cesare Beccaria reads, "laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes ... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed
The central theme of justice is questioned through the actions of the lynching mob and is portrayed as ineffective because it overlooks important facts and evidence, proving that fair trial is necessary for proper justice. Farnley and Bartlett represent vigilante justice because they are known as ones who do not think;
