set a test called” clear and present danger” and it was applied to both the national and state levels; therefore, the congress can put a limit of the freedom of speech in the first Amendment protection. The protection of the free speech would not protect all kind of speech. For example, it does not protect a man shouting in a theater and causing fear or panic. In this case the congress has the right to prevent that speech. The freedom of the First Amendment is uniquely American. They are…

schools and enrolled in an AVID class. There my teacher encouraged me to be part of all the activities that excite me. Most of my friends were doing student congress, speech, and debate so I decided to join them. When I first started, I was a novice. I didn't know how to write a debate case, I didn't know how to write a bill for student congress, and I certainly didn't know how to speak in front of a large group with being nervous. So, in sophomore year I spent most of my time learning how to do…

bloody war. On May 10 1775, the Second Continental Congress that all thirteen colonies assembled was in Philadelphia. They had planned to meet a year ago during the First Continental Congress.

Women make up half the population of the United States, so, one would think women would make up half of Congress. Well, statistically, that is far from the truth. Roughly 20 percent of the United States Congress is comprised of women. Because of the disparity between men and women in Congress, women in the United States lack descriptive representation and substantive representation. Descriptive representation refers to whether your Congressperson “looks” like their constituents. Descriptive…

Therefore, it is not possible to measure who the authors of those works are, and whether, for instance, any of the works located…

trial errors are catastrophic. A judge and a jury are the ones to decide if a defendant gets the death penalty or a noncapital punishment.
