From the struggles the people who lived in Ancient Greece had to face to the positives, geography has always had a great influence on Greece and how the people there survived. Two big positives being the climate which was perfect for growing valuable olive trees and another positive being the seas that surrounded Greece and allowed the Greeks to trade and help them in many other ways. Two big negatives being the rocky, mountainous terrain and another negative being the common volcano eruptions and earthquakes. Although Ancient Greece had its negatives so does every country and it were these pros and cons that helped the Greeks develop essential survival skills.

The school board is violating the Fourteenth Amendment and also Title IX of the U.S. Education Amendments of 1972, “a federal law prohibiting sex discrimination by schools” (@ACLU).

As schools began segregating, the Supreme Court had to make sure that a school system didn’t admit a small few and then deny access to a

Throughout the years, many Amendments to the Constitution have been created. The first Ten Amendments, the Bill of Rights, were added to the Constitution in 1791. These Amendments guaranteed citizens certain privileges that the government could not take away. The First Amendment guarantees U.S. citizen’s five equally important rights. First, it gives us the freedom to criticize the government openly. Second, it prevents us from being forced to print only what the government wants in the newspaper. Third, the First Amendment inhibits the government from establishing an official religion. Fourth, it allows us to come together publicly or privately, in order to form political groups with different ideas. Finally, it allows citizens to ask the government to change by collecting signatures and petitioning. The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to protect our rights as U.S. citizens. In the court case Brentwood Academy v. Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association, Brentwood Academy felt their rights were not protected and took legal action for infringement of the First Amendment. This long-standing court case had me asking the question, “Is it acceptable for high schools to recruit potential athletes?” The conflict between Brentwood Academy, a private school in Brentwood, Tennessee, and the TSSAA, an administration that oversees TN high school athletes, began in 1997. It all started when

I believe the most important provisions articulated by the Constitution for the colonists is in Articles I and II. The first two articles outline how the government will be set up for the most part, and how it will be organized. I think these parts are the most important because it sets up the foundation of America and gives the colonists an idea of what they want and how things should work. The new system helps prevent a monarchy from taking over again, and gives a strict plan for how things will be run to ensure everyone is happy and nobody is mistreated. They also have a section dedicated to taxes so they can avoid unfair taxation, and avoid repeating the mistakes Great Britain made. Another important part is the section about making bills

The Constitution for the US has 7 Articles, and they are all very detailed. They help lead our country toward success and let us strive to be the best country that we can possibly be. It is crazy how they wrote it in the 1700’s, and we are now in the 2000’s and still obey it. The writers of it must have been genius’!

A public school teacher was terminated for writing and publishing newspaper a letter criticizing the board’s and superintendent's methods of informing on funds allocation between academics and athletics program (Pickering v. Board of Education, 391 U.S. 563, 1968). The school board stated the letter contained false statements detrimental to the administration and the integrity of the school system. The teacher filed charges against the school board claiming that the letter was protected by the First and Fourteenths Amendment (Pickering v. Board of Education, 391 U.S. 563, 1968).

Public education has had a negative effect on students; it’s often because of the bigger class sizes, poor test scores, and high crime in the surrounding areas. Public schools need to revise their system to determine what’s the best fit for their student’s educational needs. All children who live in a school district have a right to attend a district school. Many parents would like more options and opportunities for their child, and would like to be involved in their child’s education. Charter schools are part of the answer for a better educational choice for children’s academic achievement. Charter schools have many successful methods and continue to pave the way for children’s education needs .

School boards often do not adequately justify their reasons for denying High School Students their first amendment rights. Usually, the

After the thirteen colonies failed with writing the Articles of Confederation well-known Americans came together and wanted to write what would be known as the greatest document in American history. The Articles of Confederation failed because it gave the states too much power and limited the federal government. The Constitution is known as the supreme law of the land. The Constitution has three articles and twenty-seven amendments. The three articles are divided by the Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Branch. Each branch has their own power but each branch also uses checks and balances so one branch does not become more powerful than the other two. The Constitution was written so every man and woman had equal rights. The first ten amendments are known as the Bill of Rights. When people hear the term “Bill of Rights” many people think of just the first amendment which deals with freedom of religion, speech, and press. In regards to criminal justice the fourth amendment can arguably be the most significant. There can also be an argument that the 5th, 6th, and 8th amendments are more significant than the 4th amendment. I honestly believe that these four amendments are for the most part equal when it comes to the criminal justice system. These four amendments balances each other out and almost works as a check and balance system. There have been some cases in which the fourth amendment has played a crucial way in the outcome. The

Based on your interpretation of the course text, explain the framers’ (framers’ of the U.S. Constitution) position on the Presidency:

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws” (U.S. Const. amend. XIV). Based on its Due Process and Equal Protection Clause, this amendment helped end segregation in our schools and establish equity for all. This was seen through the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954). Where the case was heard by the Supreme Court and questioned “Does the segregation of public education based solely on race violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment?” (Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 1954). In this case it was the court’s opinion that “Separate but equal educational facilities for racial minorities is inherently unequal violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment” (Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka,

Cases that involve the First Amendment in school systems have always been around but the issue of finding a balance with these freedoms is

Everyone in America should be guaranteed the freedom of speech granted by The Constitution. In 1988, the court ruled in Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier that schools \could limit freedom of speech in school if they had “educational concerns” (Jacobs). The problem is that “educational concerns” is too vague and school districts are able to use this as a loophole to get away with removing articles that do not need to be removed. Often, the concern is based on perception and image more than anything else. Angela Riley’s article “20 years later: Teachers reflect on Supreme Court’s Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier ruling” quotes Frank LoMonte, executive director of

Traditional Originalism led the court as the method of constitutional interpretation until the late nineteenth century. Judges were compelled to interpret the Constitution based on the original meaning of the provisions. The Originalism view interprets the constitution line by line exactly as the founders would have found it. Later, during the early twentieth century, progressives in the legal community proclaimed that due to the changing social environment as time goes on in the nation, the political system needed to be reconfigured. They thought that the political system needed increased national government authority and a modern administrative state. They also thought that the increased national authority and modern administrative state wouldn’t work well with the traditional Originalism interpretation of the constitution. After long political battles in and out of the court, they won the argument and the Constitution would be adapted without formally amending it. Debates were waged over whether or not the Constitution could be changed through interpretation instead of the originalist requirement of amendment, and over whether or not the Constitution was to be viewed as living. The notion of a “living constitution” was developed, and slowly set precedent as landmark cases made their way through the supreme court, and the interpretation of the constitution was put to the test.
