The Hammurabi code and the Ten Commandments are rules and laws that were followed by certain groups of people. The Hammurabi code was established by King Sargon Hammurabi who was the king of the Babylonian Empire 3,500 years ago. Hammurabi’s code was created in Babylon. The Ten Commandments were created around 1312 BCE by God. The Ten Commandments were founded at Mount Sinai. Both the Hammurabi code and Ten Commandments have similarities, but also have many differences that set them apart from each other.…

The presidential oath of office was administered to John Adams by Chief Justice Oliver Ellsworth. Adams was the first president to receive the oath of office from a Chief Justice of the Supreme…
As a very high priced and respected legal advisor I would advise Ms. Charmander of her legal rights. I would also advise her of her duties as a teacher. In this scenario Ms. Charmander has an academic freedom to decide what she wants to teach in her classroom. She also feels as if the Pledge of Allegiance is promoting the endorsement of religion. Which is not allowed in a public school setting. Her students also have a 1st amendment right to hear and say the Pledge of Allegiance. The state cannot prevent people from practicing or expressing themselves as long as they are not disruptive. Ms. Charmander also has the responsibility to teach what the school has set in their curriculum. Teachers are generally allowed some of their own freedoms in how they deliver their curriculum. In this case it seems if the school is set on this particular subject. In fact…
The United States Pledge of Allegiance is an honorable and commendable mantra. It concludes with, “one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.” Justice in the former reference is inclusive for everyone, an entitlement, granted upon birth. John Rawls position of justice is that “everyone should be treated equally and as fair as possible”. Mr. Rawls position parallels the Egalitarian theory of equality and mutual respect. This isn’t necessarily the practice because contrary to the hope for multiple factors are factored in to the outcome.…
How would Americans feel if they were prompted to participate in unconstitutional acts every day? Americans dread the thought of having their second amendment stripped away from them. However, what they do not realize is that each morning they are expected to recite a phrase that strips them of their civil rights, as stated in the first amendment: separation of church and state. The Establishment Clause forbids the government from favoring one religion, yet students are supposed to recite the Pledge of Allegiance each morning, which includes the phrase, “under God”. In the Constitution, James Madison wrote that the government shall in no way break the barrier between church and state. This means that religion has no place in politics, or anything government related. Therefore, the phrase “under God” in the pledge should be omitted because it is unconstitutional, challenges the rights of atheists and humanists who do not believe in religion, and subjects students to extreme and unnecessary ridicule.…
Pledge Allegiance to the flag. The flag represents that we have freedom in speech and equal rights for women and men. I am proud because I have equal rights as a citizen and I am able to go to school unlike other nations. I am also proud that I can have my own religion without having someone else force me into a different one. The flag stands for the republic, which is a democratic government elected by the citizens of the United States. Our republic is different then some other nations,so we should be glad that we, as citizens, can vote for leaders. I am glad of this because if we didn't have this, then we wouldn't be able to have our…
I believe in the importance of supporting the Pledge of Allegiance in our schools for several reasons. Our flag defines our national identity as the United States of America; it promotes respect for our country, and reminds our youth of our country’s struggle to become a nation.…
America is built on the service of who have fought for the freedom.

Pledge of Allegiance is the way to show pride and loyalty toward United States. Pledge of Allegiance is basically saying that flag is a symbol of our country, and flag symbolizes freedom.…
The law of the Babylonian Empire- Hammurabi code held people responsible for their actions. Laws differed from place to place.…
In 1954, President Eisenhower and Congress added the phrase “under God” into the Pledge of Allegiance. It has remained in our nation’s pledge for sixty-two years. However, some of our nation’s population believes that the words “under God” are a religious phrase and therefore violate the establishment clause of the first amendment. They think that “under God” is offensive and too straightforward and do not realize the history behind it. I strongly believe that the words “under God” should be kept in the Pledge of Allegiance.…
The Pledge of Allegiance was created as a patriotic vow for the citizens of the United States. It states, “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.” This means a lot to many people and is true to some hearts. But, as history has shown, many feels, the words in the recitation are not true and not worthy of repeating.…
There are many varying views on the definition of responsibility due to personal perspectives. Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary describes responsibility as “something that you should do because it is morally right, legally required.” Whatever your personal outlook may be, there are set rules which every citizen is obligated to follow. One must obey these set boundaries or they will be held liable for the consequences of their irresponsibility. The Pledge of Allegiance states that there will be liberty and justice for all. Liberty and justice work hand and hand with the freedoms that are provided through those who serve and protect our country. As time progresses, people do not feel a need to fulfill their responsibility or have national…

“Classmates today, Brothers forever” is the quote that was written in bold letters on the back of my Freshman Day tee shirt, and how true it is. At CBA, taking The Academy Oath is the promise to myself and my fellow brothers that I will be faithful to the promises that I have made. This oath acts as a blueprint detailing the who ,what, where ,and when that the Academy stands for. Taking and living my life by this Oath helps to ensure the Lasllian Brothers core values will be incorporated into my life as well as the life of my fellow brothers.…
