Amendment’s 1-7 Research Paper The Constitution and all of it's amendments were created as a rule book or a guideline on what the government of the United States can do and what it can not do.

I am going to be explaining the issues on the Occupy Wall Street, restricting the sale on violent video games, burning of the American flag and how they conflict with the freedom of speech. Occupy Wall street is an organization that is fighting back against the richest 1% of nation. Protesters have been fighting the battle since September 17,2011, and since then has opened thousands of peoples eyes that we need to do more to build a better world. Protesters have the right to “freedom of speech” and have not been restricted of that.
The Bill of Rights is the name by which the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution are known. The Bill of Rights prohibits Congress from making any law forcing a particular Religion or prohibiting the free exercise of any of one’s choice, aka freedom of religion, speech, assembly and petition. The Bill of Rights also gives all Americans the right to keep and bear arms, (but not in an airport). That we can reasonably expect a soldier will not take up residence in our homes without permission. We can expect to be secure in our own homes with freedom of unreasonable search and seizures, and from what I understand that includes personal vehicles as well.

Police in the United States cannot eavesdrop on a person without a warrant from the court. Until recently, it was required that law enforcement agencies had to file a warrant before doing any surveillance. This has all changed after the September 11th terrorist attacks.
Thanks to the likes of de Villepin and Reid, we now not only fight Muslim fascism abroad but also defeatism at home and throughout the West. As we've stated before, we should call political opportunists such as Reid, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi precisely what they are: Traitors. In stark contrast to the words of these scoundrels, the actions of Todd Beamer and his comrades on Flight 93 live on in our nation's commitment to defeat this jihadist scourge. Just this week, the administration released its revised National Strategy for Combating Terrorism, a document that details how our actions adapt as the war
“…there are two types of laws: there are just laws, and there are unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that "An unjust law is no law at all.” – Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from a Birmingham Jail In his letter Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. responds to the clergy whom have spoken against his demonstrations. In his letter he makes clear that the ultimate law is that of God and the moral code provided by God and that any law which is unjust does not belong in a righteous society therefore the law must be disobeyed if one is to be morally correct under God. Although I do not share the religious faith that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has, I do agree that one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws because an unjust law by definition does not coincide with moral code. What is an unjust law?

Malcolm's presence showed by way of when he used newspapers, radio, and television so as to bring awareness to the NOI and convey their point to the public; and between 1952 and 1963 affiliation enlarged from 500 to 30,000 (Harris, 2000).
Kennedy is being ethical by promoting a better society, whereas Romney is promoting his own religious perspective. Romney states “I will take care to separate the affairs of the government from any religion, but I will not separate us from ‘the God who gave us liberty’”(3). Romney is stating that he is going to separate church from the state but he is not going to separate God from church and state. This is a contradiction because God is a part of religion and church; thusly He should be separated from the state. Romney is basically telling America citizens that he is going to let his religious views influence he job as the president.
The Birth of a New Nation “In order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, and insure domestic tranquility,” our founding fathers meticulously drafted a document that demanded the world take notice. That document, the Declaration of Independence, signified that a new country was born. In the 1770‘s Great Britain had been imposing transgressions and violating the colonists’ rights in many ways.
