He thought that the government would be given too much power. His thoughts on the injustices in the Constitution greatly influenced the making of the Bill of Rights. At the time, Federalists argued that the Constitution didn’t need a bill of rights, due to the fact that the people and states kept any powers not given to the federal government, but Anti-Federalists said that a bill of rights was necessary to safeguard individual liberty. So when the Bill of Rights was made it listed prohibitions on governmental power and the rights that were granted to people. When the Bill of Rights was adopted into the Constitution it was became the fundamental rights of all citizens in 1791.
Abraham Lincoln, in his Gettysburg address, wrote “government of the people, by the people and for the people.” Lincoln suggests that these freedoms in the constitution are for all people not a limited few (Basler, n.pag). Even though there are many people who reinterpret the rights and laws laid out on the Constitution, all people should have the right to vote. Groups such as democratic followers state that people don’t care anymore, therefore, maybe only those who pay attention should have this right. If this happens will disorder follow? Where will it end?
World Arguments for and against Birth Control The controversy revolving around birth control has been an ongoing and long debated topic, bringing strong convictions from both sides of the debate. When starting the research for this paper, I found many statistics to support both sides and many opinions based on religious beliefs, moral views and personal convictions. One of the world arguments, in favor of birth control, is that men and women alike should have the ultimate decision of when they are ready and prepared to have children. Even though, by law of nature, it’s the woman that carries and delivers a child; she’s didn’t create the life on her own. It’s reality that a man and woman create a human life together and they both should have birth control options available to them at all times to make wise, informed decisions about bringing a life into the world.
Nicole Langlois Hour 1 Ethics paper 12-5-11 A growing issue in our world is late-term abortion. With more and more people going either pro-life or pro-choice it is becoming a huge controversy in the world. Most people are very uninformed and don’t understand what exactly goes on in the procedure. Late term abortion are performed between 16-20 weeks in gestation and beyond that time the pregnancy is viable, or the baby is able to live outside of the uterus with assistance. That being said, people believe that the baby is able to feel the pain initiated by the abortion.
We need to remember that marriage is a religious rite. Therefore, legalizing gay marriage would represent a type of sacrilege against the institution of marriage. It is furthermore an intrusion of the government into a religious matter and that is not in the scope of power of our government. The union of marriage exists partly for the purpose of having children. Since procreation can only occur between a man and a woman then same-sex marriage would not be able to achieve this purpose.
Therefore this would be the main discussion of this short essay of how abortion comes into controversial ethical issue in these days. This is an issue of women it is therefore first favorably to examine their views as they are the main casualties of abortion and would bear hardship during pregnancy and in lifetime. In recent years and contemporary the legalizing of abortions has developed fervent debates among pro-chose supporters and pro-life advocators. Pro-chose supporters are individuals who favor the reproductive rights of women and to choose the right to have abortion. Most of these supporters are women whom they fight for their own right as they are the ones who would suffer the fatal impact of pregnancy and in bearing a child and they know what is right for them in terms of health and wealth.
Is the Constitution still Relevant? An ongoing argument over modern political and social issues centers on whether the U.S. Constitution is relevant in today’s world. With all the advancements in technology, communication, transportation, commerce, and in the medical field, some argue that the Founding Fathers could not have seen what would be necessary for the United States to stay the great nation that it already is, so I believe that the constitution is still relevant to a degree. For most, when forming the Constitution, the framers did not construct the constitution’s durability based on any advancement in technologies or society. They wrote the restrictive forces of the Constitution on something far more predictable, the meaning of freedom.
As citizens of the United States of America, we are all guaranteed certain Constitutional rights. This ultimately gives us the freedom to choose whether or not we want to exercise those rights. One of these rights is the freedom to choose whether or not we want to participate in voting during an election. It may seem simple, but the election process is more complex that one might think and there is a lot more that goes into it aside from the events that occur on Election Day alone. Some use this privilege to their own advantage, informing themselves and doing their part in impacting these decisions that ultimately shape the future of our beloved country.
We all want to reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies, but there is no reason to single out abortion among all a woman’s reproductive choices as the one choice which is somehow less valid or acceptable than childbirth, adoption, or other reproductive choices. Abortion is a valid personal decision within the field of health care. Every woman has their own personal reason to have an abortion. There are many reasons women decide abortion is the best choice for them such as, birth control failures, inability to care and support
And I interrupt this not only as just other gods, but also things that hinder our religion. We do need to accept other and love other’s but not to turn against God’s laws and plans for us. Also, with the Declaration of Independence says from the first amendment that the government will make no law about making a new religion. So, even the bible and the First Amendment says they should be separate.
