John Winthrop's Speech to the General Court seems almost insignificant at first glance. The governor appears merely to be celebrating his victory in court by preaching a small speech about politics. Yet it is also the earliest document we have in American Heritage: A Reader that does not mention the King of England by name, aside from the sentence-long Salem Covenant. Indeed, the ideas in the Speech to the General Court pose a singular threat to Britain's rule in the colonies because of their…

ex-convict troopers, these punishments were extremely cruel and unjust. For instance, there are reports of diggers being, “chained to trees and logs” overnight or in the blazing sun. Some were even locked up in cells for days without trial, until a magistrate was available. This was the, “favourite amusement of both officers and men.” This demonstrates the harshness of the police force, which was cause for significant resentment by the miners.

After the struggle against the kingship and its subsequent overthrow, the fruits of victory mainly fell upon the patricians. Rome became an aristocratic republic, and power was held mainly in the hands of the upper class. While the plebeians still had some power in the way of voting in the comitia centuriata (a military assembly), they could neither hold any new offices, nor sit in senate (Morey, 1901). Also, as with many aristocracies, the patrician rule was selfish and domineering. This…

The Factory Act (1833) was part of the Whig Reform programme, which ran from 1833-1841 and was undertaken as a defensive response to fears of revolution and anarchy in the wake of revolution elsewhere in Europe. (Historyhome.co.uk, 2016) It was one of many social reforms of the time and there is division amongst historians as to its importance and success. This paper will analyse its content, make an analysis of its value and conclude that while the 1833 Factory Act was a critical piece of…

Asghar Farhadi’s 2012 Iranian film A separation is a portrait of a fractured relationship that cuts across the boundaries of gender. Masculinity is perpetuated to be the dominant form of gender, and often results in privilege in many ways. The movie reveals the male dominance embedded in Iranian culture through conflict. The men in the movie have a social, economic and political advantage over the women and thus center around the patriarchal society that retrains Iranian women. This male…

Our Federal Court system is primarily composed of three high power jurisdictions that operate much differently than that of the state courts. Federal Courts consist of federal district courts, United States courts of appeal, and the Supreme Court of the United States; however, these courts have limitations in cases that solely focus on the Constitution and federal law. Federal district courts are considered general trial courts that consist of over six hundred and seventy-five district court…
