entitled to, by the powers of our Creator Himself, are unquestionable, unshakeable Laws of Nature. The right to life is, perhaps, the most basic; all men are granted the strength of blood in their veins and light in their eyes, and to dim that light is undoubtedly a grievous offence. The right to liberty, one we have felt rather less…

the American old west, the pre and post Civil War South, and even today in our cities, vigilantism have always been a controversial subject. Vigilantism is also present in different countries like Israel, Mexico, parts of Africa and Europe, alongside in central American countries. But vigilantism can always be trace to a single point of origin: It occurs when the citizens of a country feel unsafe, unheard, or mistreated by others around them or by law enforcement.

This is represented in America is many ways, our Statue of Liberty, the way we are free to conduct ourselves and how we get a choice in law. Our freedom is beyond any measure of excellence, as we look into other countries freedom we see how our sails above all. Freedom is what we fought for during the Revolutionary War, why so many people have died for this country, we had to earn in, it was not just giving to us with ease.

I will be analyzing two articles, “Voter ID Laws Protect the Integrity of Our Democracy” by Hans A. Von Spakovsky and “Voter ID Laws Are Designed to Keep People From Voting” by Wendy Weiser. Both articles address whether or not photo ID should be required when voting. While I believe that photo ID should be required when voting, I also think that it should be easier for American citizens to obtain photo ID in order to vote. In the article “Voter ID Laws Protect…

the law, no matter what other people can do to you, because acting against fairness and law is immoral and corrupt.

LIMITATIONS OF POSITIVIST INTERNATIONAL LAW Although, it may be appealing to rely on the positivist arguments that focus on international written, official rules, it is important to note that law transcends far beyond being just a set of rules controlling and dictating the behavior of societies. The norms, values, morals and beliefs of any community are reflected in its law. International law does recognize other sources which are not given any credence in positive law. It recognizes the…

negative impacts that emanate from their use. The existence of loopholes in gun laws is one of the main reasons why assault weapons should be banned. When framers of gun laws used the term “arms” over a century ago, they did not conceptualize the possible improvements in gun technology. Back then there were less harmful weapons that…

well-spoken individuals to delineate both what this ideal is, and what is necessary to achieve it. Immediately, we are reminded of antebellum America, and the vast divergence that existed in the construction of law, the legitimacy of government, and its role in transforming America as it neared Civil War.
