I like that we are allowed to have some land still but that’s about it. They are trying to take most of our land away and sell it to their people. The European Americans are trying to break up our tribes, encourage individual initiatives, further the progress of native farmers, reduce the cost of our labor, and Euro Americanize us. We have traditional beliefs and ideologies about our land and our existence and their trying to change everything about us. I don’t think it should pass, because it will destroy our culture that we know, and change us into something we are not. Our people will ultimately suffer because the whites will be quick to say one thing and next thing you know we’ve been lied too. They want us to shed and exchange everything we know and become industrialized self supporting farmers and citizens just like the Euro Americans, and that’s not who we are. I hope this Act does not pass.…
“What is this but taxing us at a certain sum and leaving us only the manner of raising it?” Dickinson puts up a major argument questioning the British manner of taxing the colonists on things that there shouldn’t be taxes on and then having the audacity to raise them just leaving the colonist in the same state of being when there was no tax at all. He expresses his thoughts on the stamp act and how raising the tax on printed goods would serve as any value to the colonist which goes along with his main argument of not seeing any true purpose to the raised prices. Dickinson’s dislike of the British’s conduct toward the Americans is well noted as he clarifies all the wrongs the British are doing to prevent freedom and in efforts to raise money for themselves by plainly taking it from the Englishman in…
The Stamp Act played a big part in turning colonists against the British. The Stamp Act placed a stamp duty on common documents. It taxed things like newspapers, legal documents, commercial documents, and even playing cards. It forced them to pay a tax on every piece of paper they used. The Colonists did not respond well to the Stamp Act. In my essay I will show you how the colonists reacted and I’ll also include more information on the Stamp Act.…
This particular night he snuck away from his wife in the dead of night. All of this effort and sneaking could possibly suggest the father may have killed his son. Perhaps he knew he would not be able to feed another mouth and wished to take his son out of his misery. The father could have thought this action was justifiable; knowing first hand the hardships this child would have to endure and it was too much to bear for this father to bear. When he gets to the gravesite he digs painstakingly to five feet down into this baron tough ground to let only one foot of the post show above ground. In the poem the post was described as a “half-cross” this could symbolize his internal struggle between right and wrong, good and evil. In his mind, killing his son out of protection from this cruel world was a necessary evil. The amount of effort that the father put into this burial showed that he cared very much for his son. The father leaves off the engravings on…

Bradford lived a successful life and was a leader starting from a very young age. William Bradford always questioned the majority and made decisions based on his own beliefs and what he felt was best for the people he cared for.…
John Stuart Mill once said, “The amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage it contained. That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time.” John Stuart Mill is one of the most prominent English-speaking philosophers during the 19th century. His works incorporated a huge range of topics in his articles and papers he has written, in which a few of them include A System of Logic, On Liberty, and Utilitarianism. Mill’s main goal when composing On Liberty was best seen by taking a gander at how he talked about his work in his Autobiography. Mill composed that he accepted On Liberty to show the significance to man and to the society, of an extensive variety on sorts of character, and the opportunity given to human instinct to extend itself in…
Interpreting statutes is never simple and sometimes even problematic; there are several reasons for this. First is because the United States does not have a generally accepted and consistent applied theory for interpreting statues[1]. Second, statutes are written and the texts used to write the statutes are sometimes vague, or the text might be outdated and have a new meaning. Finally, interpreting statutes are sometimes problematic because the entire statute might have been constructed vaguely and left open to interpretation. The problems with statutory interpretations caused many legal scholars to debate on what method is best suited for interpreting statues. Two prestigious Supreme Court Justices provided their opinion on what method is best suited for interpreting statues as well. Justice Scalia praises textualism, in which “one need not be too dull to perceive the border social purposes that a statute is designed, or could be designed, to serve; or too hidebound to realize that new times require new laws. One need only hold the belief that judges have no authority to pursue those broader purposes or write those new laws”[2] Justice Breyer praises legislative history, in which one reviews and analyzes “the statements made in the floor debates, committees reports, and even committee testimony, leading up to the enactment of the legislation.”[3] Given the fact that statutes are sometimes ambiguous, the use of legislative history is occasionally needed in order to resolve statutory conflicts, and this is why the use of legislative history should never be completely abandoned.…
On August 31st, 1888, at around 3:40am, a carter named Charles Cross on his way to work walking Buck's Row- a narrow, cobbled Whitechapel street that was lined on one side by dark imposing warehouses, and on the other by a row of two story house. As Cross approached the 1876 Board School, he noticed a dark bundle lying in a gateway on the left side of the street. It looked like a discarded tarpaulin, thinking that it might prove useful of his job went to go inspect it.…
Meaning can be found even in the most mundane of objects. For instance, consider the USA First Class stamp. On its upper left corner, the number 2008 shows that this stamp was produced in year 2008. The right side of the stamp says “USA FIRST-CLASSS FOREVER”, meaning that this postage stamp is valid for First-Class postage in the United States no matter when it is used. There is an extraordinary metal bell is in the middle of the stamp – the Liberty Bell, a venerable historic relic that I am going to analyze in the rest of this research paper.…
