    "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands; one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." The Pledge of Allegiance, written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy has undergone quite an evolution. It was made mandatory in schools by the US Supreme Court in 1940 but was withdrawn three years later, was congressionally recognized as national pledge in 1942 and was further augmented with words “under god” in 1954. Originally meant to be a promise or oath of loyalty to the Republic of United States of America and an expression of patriotism, it has become a lightning rod of controversy, heated passions and lawsuits. The question is whether the Pledge of Allegiance with the words “under god” violates the protections of religious freedoms enshrined in the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment? The phrase “under god” does not violate the freedom of religion found in the first amendment. This Clause dictates, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise…

    Message to Garcia

    Ninety-nine, Washington's Birthday, and we were just going to press with the March "Philistine." The thing leaped hot from my heart, written after a trying day, when I had been endeavoring to train some rather delinquent villagers to abjure the comatose state and get radioactive. The immediate suggestion, though, came from a little argument over the teacups, when my boy Bert suggested that Rowan was the real hero of the Cuban War. Rowan had gone alone and done the thing-carried the message to Garcia. It came to me like a flash! Yes, the boy is right, the hero is the man who does his work--who carries the message to Garcia. I got up from the table, and wrote "A Message to Garcia." I thought so little of it that we ran it in the Magazine without a heading. The edition went out, and soon orders began to come for extra copies of the March "Philistine," a dozen, fifty, a hundred; and when…

    In 1863, the sixteenth President of the United States found himself engulfed by a horrific civil war and in leading his people to victory, Abraham Lincoln found himself in a predicament that required a well thought out motivational presentation. He found that opportunity with the address at Gettysburg.

The statement made in the Gettysburg Address to the people was a perfect example and in essence the embodiment of perfect communication.…

    Among those who signed the Declaration of Independence, and were conspicuous in the revolution, there existed, of course, a great diversity of intellectual endowments; nor did all render to their country, in those perilous days, the same important services. Like the luminaries of heavens each contributed his portion of influence; but, like them, they differed, as star differeth from star in glory. But in the constellation of great men, which adorned that era, few shone with more brilliancy, or exercised a more powerful influence than Samuel Adams.…

    I am the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. I come from humble beginnings and never finished school. My love for reading and learning led me to a career in law. I was able to manage this by “studying independently the law books of the time: Blackstone’s Commentaries, Chitty’s Pleadings, Greenleaf’s Evidence, and Story’s Equity and Equity Pleadings” (Levine 733). My law career led me to a career in politics. I held offices in Illinois before being elected to Congress. Now, I am the leader of a divided nation in the throes of a vicious civil war. I have a duty to deliver this address, not just to honor the dead; but to inspire the living. To persuade my countrymen that, indeed, this war is not only about keeping the country united, but also those rights of equality which every man is endowed with. This speech, (which will later be well-known as “The Gettysburg Address”) like many of mine, was influenced by the Bible and the Declaration of Independence. The Bible and the Declaration of Independence are two documents which I regard in the highest authority. Members of my cabinet that accompanied me on the trip to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, describe my face as having a “ghastly color”. On the way to deliver the address, I did not feel well. I remarked to some of my travelling companions of feeling dizzy. Although I didn’t know it, I was coming down with smallpox.…
