    In the Case Gratz vs. Bollinger, I thought the argument was quite interesting. The first group had some major flaws in their argument that was brilliantly corrected by the second group. The first group argued that having a 20 point system is unconstitutional because it violates the equal protection clause. However, as pointed out by the apposing group, the 20 point system was not even a factor in this case, for it was not implemented until the year after. That makes this argument invalid.…

    In classic republicanism, the state of nature is men are corruptible; therefore, government steps in to guard individual rights and encourage civil virtues. According to The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America, it states, “We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union… promote the general Welfare, and secure the blessing of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity…” America was founded on the principles that the people would need to be virtuous in order to survive. In Jefferson, Lincoln, and the Unfinished Work of the Nations by Ronald Hatzenbuehler, it argues how both Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, two of our nation’s great presidents, agree that government has a responsibility to “encourage the shaping of virtuous citizenry” by educating the general public. To better understand how government would go about doing this, one would need to define what virtue is which is moral goodness; or a quality considered morally good or desirable in a person.…

Throughout this paper, he discusses the consequences such as heart disease and heart attacks that can occur as a side effect of obesity. In addition, he claims that these habits begin at a young age, and kids are the “trend setters” of creating this unhealthy norm.
