Over the course of three terms, starting in 1934, the Supreme Court struck down a large part of the Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, provoking a continuing constitutional crisis. President Roosevelt naturally criticized the Court on a number of occasions, the last time in June of 1936; but because of the negative response from Congress and members of the media in those instances, he said nothing about the Court during the 1936 presidential campaign. Supporters of the New Deal proposed a variety of ways of bringing the Court into line with their program, including statutes to require an extraordinary majority of justices to strike down a law, constitutional amendments to mandate retirement at 70 or 75, and so on (Ross 1994, Stephenson 1998). During the 1936 election, Governor Landon and other Republicans attempted to use the Court’s recalcitrance to portray Roosevelt and the Democrats as enemies of the Constitution, liberty, and property. Notwithstanding the barrage of criticism, Roosevelt and the Democrats won a massive landslide in 1936, with the President taking all but two states in the Electoral College and Democrats controlling all but sixteen seats in the Senate and eighty in the House.…

“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.” (Princess Diana) Princess Diana who was the princess of England in the 1990s states that we should do good for others without expecting anything out of it. Random acts of kindness are the best ways to show others that we care. In doing something kind someone might recognize what has been done and could return the favor. In The Chosen by Chaim Potok one of the main characters David Malter explains to his son Reuven that “great men are always difficult to understand” in reference to Rabbi Reb Saunders because Reuven didn’t understand how Reb can be soft and gentle at one moment and angry the next. Princess Diana was not difficult to understand because she just wanted to do good for others with the wealth and high-class position she acquired.…

We define moral courage as the ability to act rightly in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal, or discouragement. When we say a person has moral courage, we speak of things like ethics, good and evil, right and wrong. This is the kind of person who does bold things. They do these things not because they are trying to make a name for themselves or impress their peers, but because it is the right thing to do. A person with moral courage stands up in the face of adversity.…

Wilde uses the Duchess of Berwick as a character who thrives on pettiness of high society and gossiping as a representation of the upper class having a low morality base. Wilde constructs her as a caricature to emphasise the irony of double standards in society by presenting the idea of contradiction between characters and their morals. The Duchess of Berwick may present herself as high status, but her low morals and constant need to gossip and devalue others degrades her as a character, causing the audience to find her irritating. When visiting Lady Windermere, she doesn’t hesitate in immediately bad-mouthing the friend who’s house she’d literally just come from, describing her tea as ‘quite undrinkable’. The pettiness of the gossiping is also emphasised in order for Wilde to reinforce the idea of the upper class having literally nothing better to do than degrade others. Another interpretation for this could be that Wilde does this to create a sense of insecurity in the upper class. Wilde uses the constant gossiping as a tool to present the idea of characters like Duchess of Berwick being a complete front, and they talk about others as a way of humiliating them in order to boost their own egos as they feel as though there’s nothing more to them than their status and wealth due to the idea of getting a part in society was due to your parents wealth, not down to virtues of values.…
