Due to the all the issues that the American people were going through, the government came together and wrote the second amendment and put it into act in December of 1791.The constitution was put in writing for a reason. Even with all these mass shootings taking our guns away won’t fix the situation. So why are we having to defend our second amendment now? What has caused this debate to arise once again? The debate never went away, which is why it has come back up again.
For many years various acts were passed taxing the residents of the newly founded colonies. At first this posed no threat to England, but as time went on the patience of the colonies grew thin. Aggression towards England would reach an all time high by the 1770’s. The colonies in North America, for multiple reasons, had reached their breaking point with the unruly governing of Britain and its king. On July 4, 1776, congress approved the Declaration of Independence, formally declaring its separation from England.
If it was not for the counter culture of the sixties, there would still be an active never-ending war in Vietnam. People should not have to endure unfair treatment just because their forefathers stipulated their practice because it was appropriate at the time. Old Man Warren, the eldest of the town, is the leading example of the past generation’s striving for solidity of out-dated virtues when he calls villages off to the north that had quit the lottery a, “pack of crazy fools”. He is completely enthralled
STRENTGHS It was set up by the Treaty of Versailles (which every nation hated) Its aims were too ambitious Some of the greatest powers in the world - Germany, Russia and the USA - were not members: The USA did not want to join. The Russians refused to join (they were Communists and thought the League harboured Capitalists) Germany was not allowed to join Council members were not the most powerful countries in the world, and were not prepared to use their armies. Also sometimes council members were involved in the trouble Trade sanctions would damaged the countries of the League as well as the country that had gone to war The League had no army; it had to rely on member countries declaring war on countries that broke the Covenant Its organisation was a muddle Decisions had to be unanimous, making it very hard to get anything done Secretariat was too small to handle the vast work of the League The League came to be seen as a club for the victors of the First World War and was mostly European WEAKNESSES It was set up by the Treaty of Versailles, which every nation had signed Forty-two countries joined the League at the start. In the 1930s about 58 nations were members. This made the League seem strong.
Wells “You can’t say civilization does not advance… in every war they kill you in a new way.” -Will Rogers “Power corrupts. Absolute power is kind of neat.” * John Lehman “The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.” * Edmund Burke “No extraordinary power should be lodged in any one individual.” * Thomas Paine “Decadence is a difficult world to use since it has become little more than a term of abuse applied by critics to anything they do not yet understand or which seems
Communism is horrible because the government controls every move you make and you have no say in what happens in your life. Such as no right to vote, no freedom of speech, no right to a fair trial, etc. This is what the United States was trying to protect South Vietnam from. Communists used terrorism, murdered and subversion to destabilize countries. Just this alone was a just cause for the United States to get involved in the Vietnam War.
10/10/10 The United States of America has seen several threats since its proclamation in 1776. Wars have plagued and haunted American history; with the outbreak of World War I, wars were no longer a matter of foreign or internal threat – wars became our means of solving the world’s problems. From the invention of white blasting powder to the apocalyptic nuclear weapon, the Big Stick policy has never faded. However, of the well-known threats to America, be they microscopic, atomic, corruption, or overseas, the most insidious are the moods of the American people. The American peoples’ complacency towards the world and the monopoly on force their power controls over them is appalling to anyone versed in history enough to remember the rise of National Socialism or Bolshevism.
In the Philosopher’s Stone, the prejudice of the Dursleys towards anything magic related presented an impenetrable barrier for Harry to feel as if he belonged. This prejudice against magic existed since before Harry was born and as a result he was never able to feel like he belonged in their family. This is highlighted through the line “I knew you’d be the same. Just as strange, just as … abnormal. And then, if you please, she went and got herself blown up and we got landed with you.” This highly emotive language clearly expresses the barrier that prevented Harry from belonging, caused by the extreme prejudices that the Dursleys had against magic.
The mere mentioning of it’s name¾still to this day, carries a huge impact on not just Americans’ hearts, but the hearts of our foreign allies. Like a spell cast out by a witch, the renouncement of the September 11 terrorist attacks causes the hairs of many, to stand on end. Even though the events that took place on 9/11 passed and is done with; the shadows which materialized that day still carries on¾like a blanket of fear being superimposed over the globe. As discussed in my English Composition college course, a new type of patriotism came into existence¾patriotism brought to the extremist level. This new type of patriotism that plagued the lands¾infecting many¾brought us Americans some much needed unification¾but at the expense of living in fear, out-casting the ones whom stand out from the norm.
The only nation capable of incorporating all of the above requirements is the United States of America. But No one appointed the United States the world’s policeman. The government's founding document, the Constitution, does not and could not do so. A very recent survey found that America’s biggest haters include Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Russia and Yet America under the New Leftist Obama regime is losing its allies and gaining more enemies with its ‘humanitarian’ foreign policy that seeks
