The 1950s echo much of what we see in Miller’s portrayal of the Salem Witch Trials in The Crucible, especially in the characters of Abigail Williams and the court of elders.

Politics, Power, and the American Media As Americans, we believe that world events over the next few years will unfold from September 11th.

The President, Supreme Court and Congress: An Abuse of Power? Preserving life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness has been atop all priorities of the United states of America (United States Constitution, 1776).
