    issue of the federal government meddling in states’ rights, but rather defending the natural, human rights granted to all. Lincoln speaks on the Dred Scott decision, the tyrannizing effects of the majorities in terms of slavery being a state’s rights issue, and how although the Declaration of Independence does not speak in direct terms about the social and political equalities blacks possessed, they didn’t foresee blacks remaining in a static social state.

    In the United States of America, its citizens would like to believe that the rule of law applies to everyone equally; however, current events create questions in regard to this theory. Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton’s lies have far out-shadowed those of her contenders; however, her lies are so often contextualized, excused, and forgotten because of who she is and the purpose her lying supposedly serves.
