I feel some crimes that have taken place in this country could have been stopped or lessened to a degree with a concealed firearm. The government can not ensure the 100 percent safety and wellbeing of all its citizens. For example the school shootings and workplace instances etc that happened in this country. But if there were more responsible law abiding people that had a concealed weapon on them some of these tragedies could have been avoided or at least minimized the damage that those criminals caused saving the lives of others is always a good thing. Criminals are not known for following the rules so all law abiding citizens have the right to defend themselves by any means needed.
Even in “free” countries like the United States there is still corruption, or “plunder” as Bastiat would say, that put limitations on citizen’s natural freedoms. Bastiat claims “We hold from God the gift which, as far as we are concerned, contains all others, Life-physical, intellectual, and moral life (Bastiat 5).” These are rights that Basiat believes is only what the government should protect. Once those rights are protected, however, it is up to the people to keep their government accountable for perversions in laws that would essentially limit them to their natural rights in any way. His explanations of various situations of bad government laws paint a picture of what has gone on in history and still goes on today. The first point that Bastiat highlighted in the book was “If every man has the right of defending, even by force, his person, his liberty, and his property, a number of men have the right to combine together, to extend, to organize a common force, to provide regularly for this defense (Bastiat 6).” This made me think that Bastiat was basically approving the American Revolution and suggesting that other countries in Europe at this point in history have the right to be revolutionizing their governments the
They are all in place to help protect American citizens. The first goal is very important because without it how would we be able to keep terrorists from trying to strike the United States. Now that these goals are in place they will help to spot unusually activity. The second goal is also at the top of my list. If our borders are more secure that will help to keep terrorists from trying to cross illegally into the United States.
As people we should have the freedom to think and believe whatever we want, no one else should be able to tell you that what you think and believe is wrong or right in a sense that would make it illegal to believe that. In America this law is not implied and that is the reason that people from all different countries risk their lives to come to America. They want a new start where they can be themselves and believe what they want, the opposite of what this law/idea will do when implied. This is one of the reasons America is considered one of the greatest countries to live in.
The good, law abiding citizen doesn't have drugs, but bad citizens still do. So if we take guns away from the public the good citizens won't have guns, but the bad citizens, the criminals will still have them. This will make it easier for the criminals to commit crimes. When these criminals are committing crimes the good citizens won't be able to defend themselves. This would give an advantage to the criminal since he's the only one with a firearm.
I want to start off with discussing some pro arguments about the Fairness Doctrine. The Fairness Doctrine is reasonable because airwaves are a public good and belong to the people through their government. If there were a free for all, allowing anyone to broadcast on any frequency they choose, then signals would interfere with each other and prevent police, emergency and military communications from operating effectively. Radio and television frequencies are therefore not owned by broadcasting companies but only licensed to them by the state (2). Given that many more people would like
This is a message that was followed by law of the U.S, but is still not followed if circumstances are carefully viewed. Washington’s message is useful because without some races, the U.S would be failing. Different races, diversity, are needed for a country to strive. For example, if Asians were discriminated, most technology that the U.S is selling would not be given to the U.S to sell; some items are Samsung t.v.’s, Sony t.v.’s, LG cell phones, and game systems. However, if
The Most Important US Constitutional Right: The Freedom of Speech Today, many wonder the usefulness of their freedom of expression when it is almost impossible for their voices to be heard by others without the access to TV networks or popular websites. The United States Constitution was written to protect citizens from being incarcerated due to their beliefs or thoughts, not to make sure every American’s voice could be heard by as many people as one would like. The right to free speech is still valuable, even if getting others to hear your voice without influence is difficult. The reason that this amendment was so important to the founding fathers was that it fixed a problem which had driven many people from England in the first place. Nobody knew what free speech was during the time of the writing of the constitution.
In discussing the advantages and disadvantages of public access to private information, a determination of what measures citizens can take to protect their private information or information that they would not like to have disclosed publicly is provided. There are laws that were made to protect individuals privacy on a certain level, however there are federal laws that grant the federal government the legal right to make private information on U.S. citizens available to the public and to a certain degree I can concur with a vast amount of the law which is shared within the assignment. Last, a discussion on whether there are “electronic privacy laws” that can prevent researchers from obtaining “private information” and how effective those are is given. Introduction Many businesses, employees, and consumers have undergone some type of security breach or invasion of privacy. Privacy is one of the biggest topics of discussion in
It has also raised new legal and ethical questions. In particular I will addresses issues regarding the 1st and 4thAmendment rights of American citizens. The 1st Amendment focuses on your right of free speech while the 4th Amendment deals with your right to privacy. However, both these Amendments are limited to the powers of the federal government. They do not protect citizens from other private individuals or businesses.
