All the King's Men

“All the President’s Men” is a story of two Washington Post journalist, who investigated the Watergate scandal. The journalist uncovered the story and presented the facts that eventually led to President Nixon’s resignation. The investigative reporting was effective in the Watergate scandal because journalist Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein focused on why there was a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in D.C, and why those who worked under Nixon attempted to cover-up…

According to the declaration of independence by Thomas Jefferson, he first started that all men are created equal. Every one has the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. No one can be higher than others because of his background, power and money. In order to protect these rights, the people initiate governments; it is the duty of the government to protect the citizens of the country. Yet, the people have the right to change or destroy the government when it becomes destructive…

The Declaration of Independence", stated, "that all men are created equally." Clearly, this has shown to be false as black citizens of the United States have been living in the slums of segregation and discrimination. However, a historical event occurred in 2008 that many say have drastically altered history. For the first time, an African American was inaugurated into office as president of the United States. Although it may seem we are closer to King's dream of racial equality, many agree that…

self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”(Jefferson) Declaring to the king of Great Britain, that they will no longer recognize his authority or live under his oppressive rule for they felt that he had violated the rights that the colonist seem to see as self-evident. This declaration although addressed to the king of Great Britain, was foreshadowing for…

exists solely to protect these unalienable rights, lest the people decide to alter, or perhaps even abolish the government. Yet, as important as these principles may be, the premise of the entire Declaration of Independence cannot be concrete unless all mankind be decreed equal. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is arguably the most enticing characteristic of the United States…

I have an issue with the idea that people all have the same rights, not because I believe differently, but because I just don’t see that we on the whole follow through with that idea. For this essay I will be reasoning that while we do have rights that should be inalienable, as claimed in article II of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), in practice we do not. It seems to be a recurring theme, that we tell people they have rights, but exclude certain demographics from the rights…

citizens and helped to determine the path the country would take. The Declaration of Independence reads, “We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” This line ensures the equality of all US citizens and protects their rights. Later, in 1789, the Constitution…

saying “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” This quote effectively reminds Jefferson of his core beliefs and values while he helped fight for American independence. He points out that Jefferson couldn’t possibly think that all men are equal while Jefferson and other white men enslave the African Americans. This…

new future, in the hands of a generation that hasn’t even been named yet, with new needs, values and ideas. In school, we hear a lot about futures. We are advised on how to better our futures, and told of the people who did the same. We learn of the men who gave us our future, who wrote those fateful words, “We the People.” What we don’t hear about is the future of those who come next. I envision America’s future as a culture. A culture that we claim to hold but fail to achieve. A culture to be…

“All men are created equal,” but unfortunately, that was not the case. During this time, unfreedom was prominent in Native American culture during Andrew Jackson’s presidency. Jackson came from the newly founded Democratic party, which was very similar to the Anti-Federalists. Both of these parties were against expansion, but were all in favor of white male privilege. The fact that Jackson was something new, he had old-fashioned values was a selling point to the citizens. It is not all Andrew…
