First Amendment Challenge Score Analysis
1. What was your First Amendment Challenge Score?
My First Amendment challenge score was 75%, I got 15 out of 20 correct.
2. What are 3 things you learned from the Challenge or the web site?
Three things I learned from the challenge was that some schools do not prohibit political armbands and buttons, I thought that this was not allowed in all schools. I learned that if a student were to wear confederate flag attire it is not guaranteed that they would get punished. I would assume that they would but there is a chance that they won’t because of their freedom of beliefs. Finally, I learned that it is constitutional for a public school to require a neutral moment of silence. This test made me realize how much I do and don’t know about my own

    The Carr brothers should have been sentenced separately and given two different hearings. The Eighth Amendment may be unclear whether defendants must be given an individualized trial or not but the court’s Eighth Amendment cases have often insisted that defendants must be given “individualized sentencing” in order for the jury to find “an individualized determination” and decide whether the death penalty is appropriate. The issue is that the court has never insisted for defendants to be sentenced by themselves, at their own hearing, without any co-defendants present.…

    The Supreme Court’s controversial decision in its 2010 Citizens United v. FEC decision to ban limits on independent political expenditures by corporations incited a massive national dialogue over the issue of corporate personhood and corporations’ rights to free speech. Though politicians, including the President of the United States, and political commentators have referred to the decision as a shocking affront to democracy, the decision stands upon jurisprudence extending back nearly 150 years. The essential question that campaign finance issues beg is whether or not money should be considered speech. In this paper, I will argue that it is impossible to separate speech from the money that enables its dissemination. Further, I have developed…

    The founding fathers of America believed in religious freedom, and the right to sue without prosecution, was mandatory for our nation to be free and open minded. Many of these beliefs are solely presented in the 1st amendment. For instance: Thomas Jefferson states in the first part of the one and only sentence in the first paragraph with “Whereas Almighty God hath created the mind free; that all attempts to influence it by temporal punishments or burthens, or by civil incapacitations, tend only to beget habits of hypocrisy and meanness...”. Pretty much, in latent terms, he is implying in this transcript is that we were given the right…

    “if you don’t know what to say to help someone in need. Sometimes, it can be just enough to take the time to listen and provide a supporting shoulder to lean on.” Said by David Cunliffe. Based on the Jib Fowles’ “advertisings fifteen basic appeals “each one of these appeals has an effective meaning in this world. Based on these fifteen appeals I have chosen the fourth appeal which is “the need for guidance”. This appeal has an amazing meaning in the context of the world we live in, but each one of us have a different explanation and meaning to it. In My opinion the meaning of this appeal is to help people understand themselves in terms of personal ability, interest, motivation and potential. The need for guidance is to be protected, shielded, guided. many people need for be guided and supported by others.…

    “Having travelled over a considerable portion of these Unites States, and having, in the course of my travels, taken the most accurate observations of things as they exist-the result of my observations has warranted the full and unshaken conviction, that we, (coloured people of these Unites States,) are the most degraded, wretched, and abject set of beings that ever lived since the world began; and I pray God that none like us ever may live again until time shall be no more.”, said by David Walker. Born a free African American man in North Carolina to a free mother and an enslaved father in 1785.

    C. Former Confederates and African American defenders had opposing views on new black legislators. Former Confederates, such as English clergyman J.W. Leigh, felt as though blacks were prematurely given the right to vote. Leigh argued that because blacks received franchise only five years after the abolition of slavery, they were incapable and easily influenced by radical republicans. To back his claim, Leigh cited the passing of a large grant for the Alabama and Chattanooga Railway. He states that the grant’s purpose was to give money to corrupt carpetbaggers, and that the blacks helped passed the bill after being bribed. Leigh also insinuates that having blacks in office meant that they dominated the votes and silenced whites, doing…

    In this discussion, I am going to discuss the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the influence this act has on healthcare today. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a Federal law that protects individuals from discrimination based on their race, color or national origin in programs and activities that receive Federal financial assistance (United States Department of Justice, 2014).

    On July 2, 1964, Lyndon B. Johnson used pens to change the lives of every American citizen. Before his presidency, Johnson was a guy who lived in a town where everyone thought that segregation was right. He thought the opposite. L.B.J was teaching to Mexican American children who were poor in a town called Cotulla. From the beginning Johnson thought that it was right if everyone was equal. Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because he thought that it was the right thing to do. If principle decisions are based on strongly-held beliefs, then Cotulla Teaching(Doc A), Ignoring Southern Reaction(Doc C), and Change of Heart(Doc E) show that President Johnson was motivated to sign by his principles.…

    By definition, a speech code is any rule or regulation that limits, restricts, or bans speech beyond the strict legal limitations upon freedom of speech or press found in the legal definitions of harassment, slander, libel, and fighting words (First Amendment). There is not one real speech code that all public college campuses follow. The first amendment includes freedom of speech, but does not limit any speech codes on college campuses. The first amendment states that students have the freedom of speech unless there is "substantial interference with school discipline or the rights of others". (First Amendment). The speech that is protected under the first amendment is very vague especially considering schools and campuses. Finding a set standard for what the speech codes for college campuses should be easier than it is now; there should be a set definition that lays out rules for speech on campuses.…
