- ... trying to pass legislation making it possible to prosecute flag burners. But did the Framers intend that the 1st Amendment protect other kinds of expression as though it were free speech?

I ask you, "why should you punish prosperity?" The main goal of the liberals and Bill Clinton is the reditribution of wealth. The key question to ponder is, " when do profits become unfair and excessive?" (Limbaugh Pg. 118-119) In conclusion, capitalism is the best thing to help the United ...
- 603: Issues to Consider When Implementing a Corporate Code of Ethics
- ... how to make good decisions in tough ethical dilemmas. Many models are used in the business world to make good decisions.

Each of these models is drawn from the traditions of moral philosophy, and each has powerful arguments in it’s support and significant refutations lodged against them (Cavanaugh, 1997, pp. 796-811). The Utilitarianism Theory ... of this theory is that it is democratic and the weak of the population is considered. The downfall is that it can result in less change and fewer ideas (Cavanaugh, 1997, pp. 796-811). The Rights Theory focuses on an individual’s rights. The legal system may state many of these individual rights. A company, when making a decision in a ethical dilemma, must consider the individuals rights and that these rights are not being violated. The ...

He advocated that the best solution lied in an aristocratic, strongly ... are distinguished by their clarity, vigor and rigid reasoning rather than any show of scholarship. In his earliest writings of 1774-75, he started out with the ordinary pre-Revolutionary War Whig doctrines of natural rights and liberty. After the War's conclusion, his experiences of semi-archaic states' rights and individualism ended his earlier fervor. Hamilton saw the feeble inadequacies of conception, the infirmity of power, factional jealousy, disintegrating particularism, and vicious finances that marred the Confederation. No other author saw more clearly ...

- ... belief. Kennedy returned to Senate and participated in the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He was also chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Labor.

- 607: Affirmative Action in Florida
- ... between minority and non minority groups to an even higher rate. Affirmative action, as it is instituted today, serves more to divide out society than to unite and equalize it.

Governor Jeb Bush of Tallahassee recently implemented a new initiative in ... The elimination of racial set-asides and racial price preferences. The time has come to eliminate these legally suspect practices that never really achieved their goals." Those who are wealthy and well educated (Oprah Winfrey, Bill Cosby, etc.) are those who benefit.

- 608: Civil Liberties
- Civil Liberties Prof. Rudenstine The case in front of this court presents us with an interesting query. The appellant, Ms. Rachel Berger, contends that the state in question violates her equal protection rights by not providing funds for people who can not pay the amount needed to acquire a required transcript for an appeal. In order to determine the validity of her claim, one must deal with the ... question of whether the Equal Protection Clause in the 14th amendment bans discrimination against the poor. The writers of this part of the amendment in 1868 acted in response to the states not granting citizen rights to the former slaves. It remains inconclusive if the framers intended for this clause to forbid discrimination against the impoverished. Both sides in this case could present reasonable arguments that the text of the amendment ... child. I believe that based on this premise, once the government has committed itself to provide basic services to its indigent residents, it can not then limit a poor person’s ability to pursue basic rights without a reasonable cause. After establishing that the equal protection clause prohibits discrimination against the poor, one needs to decide whether the clause includes the right to appeal a lower court’s decisions. The ...
- 609: School Prayer
- ... controversial widespread issue today is the right to have prayer in public schools. The proposed amendment reads: “To secure the people’s right to acknowledge God according to the dictates of conscience.

The government shall not require any person to join in the prayer or religious activity, initiate or designate ... the very essence of the spirit in which the US was formed. (Haas35) Therefore, having a prayer in school would be unconstitutional. “A radical school prayer amendment would attack the heart and soul of the bill of rights which safeguards the rights of the individual from tyranny of the individual.” (Jasper96) Teachers are public employees, paid by the taxpayers.

- 610: The Idea of Freedom
- ... for such ideal conditions. The United States of America is not one of the countries where a dictator or rules of another generation leave a fear factor in the general public. Such choices as individual rights, lifestyles, and free will make up the stereo-typical “ American.” An American has the label of having rights that citizens of other countries wish for. The right to peacefully assemble is a right which every American has demonstrated at one time or another to portray an idea that was not being heard any other way. Free speech and the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights is the American public in a nutshell. The best part about being an American is the freedom of religion. Our country was started with that idea as the Pilgrims came here to ...
