Individual Rights Persuasive Speech
“Evelina!” I’ve broken something again. Master Jefferson has been spotted in the distance, and the entirety of the household of Monticello is in a frenzy. Everyone around me is rushing to get the house ready, and to make Master Jefferson’s room adequate for his anticipated return. As I seize a broom to sweep up the remnants of the jug I dropped, I think about what news he might bring of the newly proposed Constitution. In truth I am unsure about whether this constitution will help anything. On one hand, unification of the states would make this land stronger as a nation and more organized, but with the proposed president in place, it seems as if we are leaning more towards our monarchical roots. Without a bill of rights, our individual rights are threatened, but they did say that the Constitution could be …show more content…
I remind myself that he does have reason to be concerned, given that he is a fairly important man. Even if I haven’t been caught with what I’ve stolen in several years (just to make sure I don’t get rusty), the mere fact that I was arrested in London repeatedly for theft is probably an issue of concern for him. “Evelina, make up a room for Mr. Hamilton here, he’ll be staying the night.” “Yes sir.” I curtsy and slip out of the door.
As I am finishing tidying the room for Mr. Hamilton, Lucile and a kitchen hand I don’t know the name of bustle in with a large trunk. “You can place Mr. Hamilton’s things here.” Lucile bosses the kitchen hand. “Evelina! Did you hear? They say Mr. Hamilton worked on the Constitution. I’ve been hearing more about it all day.” I had worked that out for myself already, but to placate I say, “What have you heard Lucile?’
“I heard that he and the rest of the Constitutional Congress are promising us a bill of rights, but that people aren’t taking their word for it.” I nodded. That fit in with what Hamilton and Master Jefferson were saying when I was in his quarters. “Anything else?” I

    Imagine oneself back at the constitutional convention in seventeen eighty-seven. All of the brightest minds and most respected people in one place, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the southeast of the state, near New York. Because it is May, and just beginning to be summer, it is hot, and because all the windows are closed in the interest of secrecy, it is stifling as well. Fifty-five well known thinkers of the age, all white males, have come. They range in age from James Madison, an up-and-comer and a prodigy who is twenty five to Benjamin Franklin, a wise, venerable, learned man who is eighty one. Delegates from eleven states are present, New Hampshire not turning up until July, and Rhode Island not at all, thinking to veto the proceedings by their absence. The problem that had caused these proceedings was that the Articles of Confederation, the current system of government was too weak. although the Northwest Ordinance resulted of it, and it fixed the fear of a strong central government and dominance by large states, there were unfair competition among states, unenforceable trade agreements, no power over states governments, no president, no judicial branch and the government could not pay debts because they could not force states to pay taxes. As the cons out-weighed the pros, it was clear that something had to be done. The framers decided to create a new government completely. The question was; How do we give the government the power it needs while preventing tyranny? This essay will address the many and varied was the constitution guards against tyranny. In this essay, the word tyranny refers to James Madison’s definition, which states, “The accumulation of all powers…in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many (is) the very definition of tyranny.” (James Madison, Federalist Paper #47, Hook Document). The constitution addresses tyranny in four main ways: the balance of powers between national and state…

    For anyone who has taken Civics or an American Government class in high school, should know how important the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights are to this country. “When in the Course of human events”, “We hold these truths to be self-evident”, “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”, and “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union” should be some of the most recognizable phrases written in some of the most significant documents in history (www.LOC.gov and www.Archives.gov). In the book Judicial Tyranny: The New Kings of America by Mark Sutherland, readers are able to understand what the true role of government should have been and should be for the future as intended by our Founding Fathers. With chapters written by some of the most prominent and notable judges, attorneys, politicians, authors, theologians and most importantly, Christians, readers see the…

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights” sparks the idea that everyone is equal and are given this equality by God, not the English government (Jefferson 679). This statement shines a light on a belief that is well known, but may have been forgotten through King George’s tyranny. Jefferson helps the colonists see that their basic rights should not be subject to change by King George and that these rights are imperishable. Then, Jefferson presses onto his belief “that whenever any Form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it...” which is the case of the tyrannical English rule in the colonies (Jefferson 679). This statement questions why the colonists would consider…

    It can be said that in a democracy, unity among the many cannot exist without compromise. Following the conclusion of the American Revolutionary War in 1776, the Articles of Confederation (the “Articles”) were written to allay fears about, and promote liberty, for its citizens, by legitimizing the rights of individual states. However, the Articles provided such restrictive powers for the underfunded national government to counteract deficiencies, that the union was at risk of collapse. A series of meetings, known as the Constitutional Convention (the “Convention”), was held to fix America’s dysfunctional political system, resulting in re-writing the American Constitution. Throughout the process of ratifying this historic document, many disputes…

    When writing the Declaration of Independence Jefferson not only created something that was shockingly incendiary, it was full of ideas that were revolutionary for the time period it was written. While contemporary American society may think of the question of freedom to be a foregone conclusion, the political culture of 1776 was drastically different. Globally the power rested with the monarchies, who concerned themselves more with furthering their own interests than protecting and empowering their citizens. Jefferson believed this idea undermined individual liberty, and sought to change it by creating a government that derives its “just powers from the consent of the governed.”…

    Historical Context: Today, over 200 years after it was written ad ratified (approved), most Americans think of the US Constitution as something almost sacred. We assume that this great document has always been honored and looked up to. This is NOT true. When it was written in 1787 and submitted to the states for ratification, it set off months of fierce and often bitter debate. There were, of course, many who welcomed it as a stronger and more effective national government which could successfully tie the 13 states together into one nation. But others were afraid of this proposed powerful new national government. Why should they now set up a new distant central government which could threaten their liberties just as King George and Parliament had? The debate went on in towns and villages across the country for months. Some of the smaller states ratified the new Constitution quickly, but in most states the debate continued. In February of 1788, the Massachusetts convention voted 187 to 168 to ratify or approve the Constitution. In June, Virginia ratified 89 to 79. New York followed almost immediately. Now, with the approval of 11 states, the new government was established. In April of 1789 George Washington was sworn in as President, even though two states still had not approved the Constitution. It took North Carolina until November 1789 and Rhode Island until May 1790 to join the new government.…

    Few men can compare to Thomas Jefferson in terms of articulation and benevolent philosophical views. He was a brilliant man whose verbalization formulated the United States’ Declaration of Independence from mother England. Jefferson was a man who believed in the preservation of individual liberties and equality, principles that are necessary for a nation to flourish. He was the country’s first secretary of state, and eventually he would become the third president of the United States. Jefferson helped establish the country that exists today, and his contributions remain observable 186 years after his passing. His likeness is now etched upon a mountainside in South Dakota, as if he is still watching down on the country his hands helped mold. He consistently opposed formation of strong central authority for fear it would dawn tyranny. Instead, he much preferred small government intervention. Jefferson is known as a wise and influential founding father by historians and scholars alike. Upon reviewing Jefferson’s credentials and beliefs, one would conclude him to be a great American hero. Yet, deeper investigation proves that Jefferson’s ideologies often strayed far from his actions. Although this is true, I believe Jefferson’s actions, though detested today, were essential for his time and should not be scrutinized by our modern-day values.…

    On August 13, 1800, Thomas Jefferson wrote to Gideon Granger, a future member of Jefferson’s cabinet, stating that United States can never be “harmonious and solid” if a portion of its citizens supports changes to the federal Constitution. Jefferson believed that the Constitution should remain unchanged and affairs that are not given the power to be regulated by the Congress should be regulated by individual states. He believed that majority of the legislature of the U.S. must preserve the federal Constitution and states must preserve the rights they are granted.…

    On the heels of the revolutionary war and the failed attempt of a national government (The Articles of Confederation), the leaders of the United States set to make a stronger, centralized government, with dual sovereignty between the national government and the states. The rules of this governing body would be laid out in a document called the Constitution. Although most leaders supported the constitution they did not agree on many aspects of it. Out of the disagreement two groups emerged, the Federalist and the Anti-Federalist. The Federalist supported all aspects of the constitution and a larger national government, while the Anti-Federalist opposed ratifying the constitution and supported a smaller national government and more sovereignty to the states. This disagreement led to a fierce debate between the two groups that still resonates today. This essay will examine the primary…

    Thomas Jefferson’s The Declaration of Independence serves as one of the most well respected manifestos ever written due to its almost unanimous support. The document sends a powerful message that no one man should have the power to enforce his will upon any amount of people without proper representation. Jefferson states countless misuses of power by the King in hopes of rallying up fellow colonists to fight back against the tyranny of the King of Britain. However, the document does not just serve as a list of misrepresentations and evils done by the King, but it in fact helps to outline an abstract plan of how the people of the colonies should live after secession from…

    Democratic Gazette Sabeena Jagdeo The Constitution: Key to Our Success Last night, President Johnson gave his Third Annual Message speech, ensuring the American citizens that the Constitution will remain a part of the United States, and by doing so, it will help further the country's success. The fact of the matter is that, the Constitution serves as the basic law and regulation system for the United States. Without it, we have nothing to base our laws and values on, as Johnson continually stated in his message. To dissolve the Constitution, is to destroy our nation, it will only cause more conflict among the states rather than repairing the injuries between the northern and southern states which were caused by the war.…

    Primarily, America is constantly undergoing drastic changes, which effect the social and political aspect of every citizen’s life. The Articles of Confederation is based on state’s rights and the Constitution hovered over the safety of the national government as a whole. Foner explains the nation as a “perpetual union” under the Articles of Confederation because he believes that there could be a glimpse of hope or admiration from the government that could spark new beneficial changes (Foner, 249). The Constitution seemed to give off the impression that the nation that Americans spoke so highly of was destined to become an event that would solve any problem within society. Thomas Jefferson says the nation will be an “empire of liberty,” with the help and participation of the common people (Foner, 248).…
