    The Emancipation Proclamation legally freed the slaves in states that were not under Union control as a reaction to the Dred Scott case. Lincoln’s motive behind the issuance of the Proclamation remains one of the most debated topic of the president. In the famous Lincoln-Douglass Debate in Charleston (National Historic SiteIllinois), Lincoln claimed that he “as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race” when asked to talk about his opinion about the equality between the black people and the white people. This led to the theory that Lincoln was a white-suprematist in nature, but still signed the Proclamation in order to win the war.…

One of the weakest arguments of this case was the argument for Dred Scott not being able to be classified as a citizen. As a result, he was not subject to the full right of freedoms and due process of law. Taney wrote that slaves lacked sovereignty and that they were not intended to be included by the framers of the Constitution (5). He writes that slaves were actually, “intended to be excluded from it.”…

    A few weeks ago, I wrote an essay that tied into the SLE of being a Committed Catholic where I highlighted the violence in racism and why we shouldn’t be racist to one another. I wrote it for the Maryknoll Essay contest, which called students, “to take a clear stand for creative and active nonviolence and against all forms of violence.” The SLE bullet points that I thought most tied into this essay were understanding and being able to explain Catholic beliefs and being able to live as Jesus taught us. When re-reading this essay, I noticed that these bullet points carried some relevance with the points that I was trying to get across, further advancing and proving my argument as true, making it obvious how my thesis tied into this SLE.…

    Singer’s premises are so judiciously phrased that it invites non-consequentialist acceptance. Moreover Singer applies the principle to a simple experiment which offers clarity in comparing the moral significance: “If I am walking past a shallow pond and see a child drowning in it, I ought to wade in and pull the child out. This will mean getting my clothes muddy but this is insignificant, while the death of the child would presumably be a very bad thing." (Singer, 1972). It can be assumed that one’s ethical views are of little to no import, when wet and muddy clothes are entirely insignificant compared to death of a child.…

    Clifford and James are two philosophers who have contradicting opinions on whether having sufficient evidence is always necessary to believe in something. Where Clifford believes you cannot believe in anything without sufficient evidence, James believes that if the evidence doesn’t point in one way or another, it is justified to believe something based on our will. I will be arguing that James’ side is indeed correct. In James’ paper, he provides concrete evidence as to why his opinion is correct.…
