Elections have been won or lost because of who young people do or do not support. In 1996, 50% of registered voters under the age of 30 turned out to vote.

- 1504: Thoreau's View of Civil Disobedience
- ... should stand against the State or government when he or she knows something to be morally unjust. A key point to understand is that morality is derived from the source of where we get our rights: God. The Trancendentalists believed that you could be one with God by tapping into nature and its oversoul (which ran through all of life and we could learn from it to better ourselves). While our government has committed wrongs in the past, it is the individuals job to correct those wrongs and the State needs to respect those individuals' rights. Thoreau spoke of the Mexican war and slavery, not homosexuality. Thoreau's use of morality was based on equal treatment of people (so attacks on homosexuals would be seen as negative by Thoreau); however, morality ... Homosexuality is not like slavery in any way and cannot be compared to it. Slavery was a government issue in that they did not recognized the "humanness" of slaves and therefor did not extend equal rights to them. Homosexuality has some of those same tones, but there is also the religious side to this issue. Since morality was the guiding force of Thoreau, and that morality derived from God (religion), ...

- 1506: Standard Oil 1911
- Standard Oil Case of 1911 Out of the cases decided by the Supreme Court I feel the most influential dealt with the issue of Civil Rights. Two cases in particular that dealt with the post Civil War use of the Thirteenth Amendment were Jones v. Mayer, 1968 and Runyan v. McCrary, 1976. Although the Thirteenth Amendment was added to the constitution ... government can evolve to fit the times. The thirteenth stated that slavery would no longer be allowed in the U.S. unless used as punishment for a convicted crime. After the Civil War many civil rights laws were passed based on the Thirteenth Amendment but were later repealed. Congress drew the conclusion that racial discrimination did not place blacks in servitude. For years after it was believed that Congress did not have the power under the amendment to deal with racial discrimination. In the Jones v. Mayer case of 1968 helped to bring back the power of a lost Thirteenth civil rights law. The law stated that all citizens of The United States had the right to purchase, sell, or rent any territory that could be enjoyed by white citizens. Jones had sued Mayer because he ...

- 1510: From Communism To Democracy
- ... still censor the press. They are still trying to maintain that wall that separates them from the rest of the world. From a democratic aspect, China's approach is appalling.

If the revolt is big enough, and not isolated to one certain sector, but is dispersed nation-wide, then they will succeed. But if it is only a small group, then they will fail.
