The Establishment Clause prohibits the Government or Congress from creating a national religion, but it did not and still does not prohibit Congress or the Government from supporting a religion.

On January 21st, 1781, Robert Aitken appealed to Congress requesting to print "a neat Edition of the Holy Scriptures for the use of schools." And on September 12th, 1782, Congress replied stating “[we] highly approve the pious and…

The concerns of an eight year old are as drastically different from those of an eighteen year old as are the worries of a twenty eight year old are from those of a thirty eight year old; when imagining a person ten years superior to oneself, they often seem detached and un-relatable. In the words of every petulant child to their parent, “you just don’t get it.” When it boils down to it, are the generations really that different? One woman raised conservatively in the 1950s saw unbelievable…

When someone says “politician”, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? For me, I think corrupt: mostly because of all the media scandals that most of them are involved in. It’s fact that the majority of politicians do not have the best reputation when it comes to honesty or loyalty. Bernie Sanders is the minority in this case. Sanders is now known as the longest serving independent in U.S. congressional history. Being such a successful Mayor of Burlington, Vermont, led him to become an even…

Government in a dystopia is never perfect. When a government becomes too controlling, and the people can't stop them, a dystopia is inescapable. In Divergent, some of the simplest things in everyday life are controlled by the faction’s rules. The government seems to have taken over fairly quickly. Examples of an over controlling government are shown on just the first page of the book. Tris’ mother is cutting her hair, and it is explained how rare it is for Abnegation to be able to do such a…
