Therefore, both are regarded as two of the most significant pieces in the history of these United States.

    Thomas Jefferson’s rhetoric is effective. His thesis is expressing that all people have the right to split up and be free, if they feel as though their God given rights are being infringed upon. Jefferson’s thesis, in the Declaration of Independence, states that we the people have the right to be independent. I am persuaded by the thesis, because as a human being my rights are important to me; they symbolize the equality that I withhold in comparison to everyone else.…

    If the Newseum is torn down, the first amendment will not have a place to be celebrated just for itself, so there will be no place to celebrate the first American Constitutional freedom. President Trump is pressuring Congress into passing a bill that will start a project to make room for new monuments. The project will consist of tearing down monuments that the government feels are unnecessary. The project will ruin DC and the American spirit. If the bill does pass, the Newseum should definitely not be torn down since it is a reminder of what America is, it will have horrible economic effects on the country, and tearing it down will diminish the American spirit.…

It should be protected for what it stands for. It may be controversial due to the 1st Amendment and it’s freedom of speech, but I believe it gone through too much to be treated in such a way,…

    The American flag is one of the last symbols of hope. It stands for life, support and freedom. One example of how the flag is a symbol of life is when people die the veterans, the soldiers or anyone who worked for this country bring all the flags to half-mast to honor the people that die during the incident that occurred. When a flag is old and tattered persons cut the stars out and send them to friends and family so the flag is remembered but isn't “suffering”. The U.S. flag also stands for support.…

    The 1960’s was a period brimming with demands for social change. The second feminist movement began to gain momentum and the Indigenous rights movement followed shortly thereafter. In the 1966 NOW Statement of Purpose by Betty Freidan, and 1972 Trail of Broken Treaties 20-Point Proposal by the American Indian Movement, these groups aired their grievances against the injustices they faced and outlined solutions for these governmental issues. These documents addressed the question: in what way does the Declaration of Independence make promises it cannot keep? In one of the most widely quoted passages three promises are made, “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with…

    The prime minister recently passed the Emancipation Act in April, which allowed both English and Irish Roman Catholics to be admitted into the Parliament and many other public offices. Already we seeing the everyday effects of this act. Catholics are being more excepted and are looked at as real people with rights. The Catholic community feels respected, as one young mother said, “This act will change the way my children grow up in the world, they have a chance to make a better life for themselves.” As an Anglican, I can not relate to the troubles Catholics have had with this issue because my faith has always allowed people to hold high power positions, but I do believe that with this step our world is moving into a more just world.…
