    Chirag N. Rao Political Science Essay#2, Topic= the Civil Rights and the Liberties Scenarios, Due= Thursday, February 19th, 2015 The hearing of an appeal to post Ten Commandments on the walls of a public or government building is an interesting case, whose relevance goes back to the famous phrase, namely, “Separation of Church and State”. Roots of this phrase can be traced all the way back to a letter written by Thomas Jefferson in January of 1802 to the Danbury Baptist Association in Connecticut.

I believe this is so because the various court decisions and legislation such as First Amendment, Lemon Test, Civil Rights and Liberties make it ambivalent between separation of religion and that of freedom to practice religion.…

By using a forceful tone, Kelly argues that child labor laws are important and necessary all around the country for the benefit of all the citizens. Kelly discusses the truth about the negatives of child labor by using specific word choice. In describing the dangers of the work force, she uses words like “deafening” and “toil” to emphasize the appalling conditions that these children were subjected to.…

The common theme of Human Rights, to be studied in more than one content area, is selected according to text topics (curriculum), student interests, experiences, issues, or problems.
