    After the revolutionary war, America was struggling with finding an effective Government that does not include a tyrant for a leader. For the first few year of freedom, America followed the Articles of Confederation. This did not work because although they didn’t have a tyrant for a leader, “there was no chief executive, there was no court system, there was not even a way for the central government to force a state to pay taxes.” (How Did the Constitution Guard Against Tyranny?). In 1787, when the Constitution was created, it was agreed that the Constitution should be able to make an efficient government free of tyranny.…

    In Taming Democracy (2007), Terry Bouton gives a thoroughly somber interpretation of the achievements of popular economic and political reforms within Pennsylvania resulting from the American Revolution. Bouton argues that despite increased suffrage and political participation, the majority of “ordinary people” were disappointed in the system of democracy which evolved in the decades following independence. While a significant proportion of white males achieved notable political rights as a result of the revolutionary movement, “in terms of economic well-being that gave independence its meaning, life in postwar Pennsylvanian resembled the dark days of the 1760s and 1770s.” The elite class of society, who during the 1760s and 1770s supported…

    The American people’s desire to feel that they are in command of their own lives plays a major role in the framework of respecting individual rights while the government remain neutral in respect to particular conceptions of the “good life.” Sandel asserts, “Self-mastery consists in viewing every aim and attachment, every feeling and though, as the product of choice” (292). Therefore, it is the hope that the government be able to reconstruct itself in a way that it reflects the voluntarist conception of freedom and make it “‘possible for men to follow their chosen pursuits with maximum freedom’” (284). Sandel continues to emphasize democracy’s discontent; specifically in “The Triumph and Travail of the Procedural Republic” he addresses the “the loss for self-government and the erosion of community” (294).…

    Imperfection has no place in the republic because it hinders the role of justice in society. Socrates says all imperfect babies will be thrown away because they will not benefit the republic in any way. Anything that is produced by citizens that is not beneficial will be annihilated. Imperfect thoughts and ideas can lead citizens to unjust actions. Socrates says, "… they should be careful not to let a single fetus see the light of day, but if one is conceived and forces its way to the light, they must deal with it in knowledge that no nurture is available for it", if imperfect thoughts and actions see the light of day they will destroy the republic (Republic, 461c).…

    The American Civil War was, arguably, the most important war in American history. Without the presence of African Americans and the ideologies of slavery, the civil war never would have happened. The Union believed that slavery was immoral, and the Confederates linked slavery to their prosperity. Regardless of this fact, at the outset of the war, it became evident that the war would be exclusively a white-man’s war. The fear of an African American revolution if they were armed seemed to be too great of a risk for either side to take, at least in the beginning.…

    While most certainly brutal and violent, the results of war can be either positive or negative. On one side, countless lives are lost; on the other side, principles are upheld or won, and a new country now has the opportunity to prosper. The American Revolution began around 1775 and ended in 1783, when the United States of America declared independence from Great Britain and became its own country. Like any other war, much of the damage and casualties resulted from civilian deaths when the raging armies swept through the colonies. The Loyalists- those who supported Great Britain and King George- and the Patriots- those who supported the principles of freedom and independence- alike were both hurt, killed, imprisoned, or otherwise dragged into…
