Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution

Long ago having a glass of beer or wine was outlawed in the United States; let alone even mentioning them in public. Prohibition was never taken seriously since the minute it had been passed. In fact, the law created an effect that was opposite of what was intended.

No matter what the 18th Amendment stated, all types of people across the nation became…

Even though the 14th Amendment passed in 1868, which gave citizenship and equal protection to blacks, the early 1900s was still overrun by segregation. Segregation is commonly thought of as the separation of people based on color or race. Black and white people were often compared…

As written in the U.S. Constitution, every American citizen has the right to freedom of religion. With this being said, the government is not to regulate what religion a person does or does not practice. For any sector of public education to promote religion or student involvement with religion infringes on that first amendment right. According to Lemon v. Kutzman, government entities only serve constitutional when their actions…

rights equal to men. In March 31, 1776, Abigail Adams writes a letter to her husband, President John Adams, asking that he “remember the ladies,” when the second continental congress writes the new constitution of the United States of America.

Plessy’s lawyers continued to appeal, ultimately being heard by the Supreme Court of the United States of America. In 1896, the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling known as Plessy v. Ferguson…

Brown v. Board of Education was heard by the United States Supreme Court in 1954. Unanimously decided, Brown is a landmark case, because it struck down the “separate but equal” doctrine which had allowed the United States to maintain racially segregated schools since 1896, as set out in Plessy v. Ferguson. To reach this decision, the court relied heavily upon “psychological knowledge and social science evidence,” to conclude that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” In…

WAS THE ARREST OF SASSY LAWFUL? I WAS THERE IMPLIED LICENCE? In Halliday v Nevill, as the High Court held, the police officers have implied licence to go upon the path leading to the entrance of private dwellings for legitimate purposes . Officers Andrew and Annabel went upon the drive way and stopped by the front door with purpose of questioning Sassy. Sassy is a sister of Cassy and is likely a lawful visitor at the party hosted by Cassie. They arrested Sassy on the driveway in the end.…

Over years there have been times when freedom of speech would be taken away from people or be said to be more towards hate and bullying. Sometimes people would mistreat the freedom of speech to do what they want and get their way. It has also come to the point where freedom of speech would be only be allowed for some people instead of everyone because some people just don’t agree with someone's thoughts and opinions that sometimes they’ll say it offending them when really it’s nothing be…

Did you know that one third of all Americans don’t believe 6 million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust? Should media coverage be censored to protect society, or is freedom of speech the most important thing? Nothing should be censored in the media, or in life at all for that matter, in order to “protect us”; it is unteaching compassion and peace, and will create a massive grey area in the 30 rights of human life. In the first place, people in positions of power too often take advantage of…
