Dred Scott was slave who sued for his liberty in the Missouri courts, arguing that four years on free soil had made him free. He was once owned by army surgeon John Emerson. Dred Scott’s attorney argued that between 1831 and 1833, John Emerson had taken Scott with him during various military postings to areas where the Missouri Compromise banned slavery, making Dred Scott a free man. When nearly after six years in the Missouri courts, the state Supreme Court rejected this argument in 1852, Dred Scott, with the help of abolitionist lawyers, appealed to the United States Supreme Court.

Something else to ponder is where do mass shootings occur?…

Ana Sofia Garza Mrs. Williams English II Pre-Ap 02 November 2016 Justice Many people have committed crimes. Some because that is what they do best and some because they don 't know any better and even some who commit crimes out of love, believing the crime is for a greater good. The United States criminal justice system should not allow for exceptions in the application of law due to the fact that justice should be applied equally to all.

That 25.5 percent is a huge increase and needs to be stopped, and it can be stopped. Homicides is one of the biggest reasons why I believe that the population should start to decrease. As a community, we have to be more careful; lock our cars, stay in safe neighborhoods, and be careful what we are doing. Some might say that the population growth is helping Colorado and helping it in better ways, but facts show that more people are dying. More people dying is not what I would call helping Colorado.…
