- ... for a man to share his life with a woman; she being deficient in mind, religion, and gratitude. There is no sacrifice she can make to repay the favour he has done for her. The rights of Muslim women and men are as you might expect them to be. The women's rights are very simple as stated in the Quran, "It is that you shall give her food when you have taken your food, that you shall clothe her when you have clothed yourself, that you shall not slap her on the face, nor revile her, not desert her except within the house. Other than that she has no rights, he has the right to beat her if she does one of four things. One if she doesn't wear the fineries wanted by the husband. Two if she refuses sexual intercourse. Three when ...

Black men especially rallied for Thomas. They saw that the principal of having a black Supreme Court Justice was more important than standing up for the rights of women. Nearly all women agreed with Hill in that Thomas had broken a law and that he should be held accountable for his actions. Professional criticisms were slightly different. Marcia Greenberger, co-president of the National Women's Law Center, noted that the Hill-Thomas hearings "prompted a sea change. . . in the societal and corporate understanding of sexual harassment and the laws in place to stop it."

- 828: Kent State Massacre
- ... unjust. They also represented a major victory for the Federalists. By writing the Resolutions, Jefferson and Madison spearheaded the protests of those against the Alien and Sedition Acts and those in support of stronger states’ rights. Although the Resolutions were successful in the two originating states, they did not have much success in the other states. Still, the new ideas presented in the Resolutions were almost revolutionary. Although the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 and 1799 were not very successful, they were important because they provided necessary arguments for the supporters of greater states’ rights against the proponents of a stronger central government. The Alien and Sedition Acts played major roles in the coming about of the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions. Passed in early 1798, the Acts laid down a ... Madison communicated the opposition against Alien and Sedition Act to the Federalists and the public.

The Resolutions also had the effect of counterbalancing the restrictive policies of the Adams administration. The Resolutions began the transition from the Federalist government to the ...

- ... or allowed to voice their own opinions; both conditions violate the 1st amendment. The 9th amendment also states something contradictory to the way life actually was, it says: “The enumeration in the constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” (Primis, 96) This means no person can deny any other person his or her rights given in the Constitution of the United States of America.

- 830: Prohibiting Speech That Offends
- ... and where the success of that endeavor depends on an atmosphere of openness, intellectual honesty and tolerance for the ideas and opinions of others, even when hateful or offensive. Compromising free speech ultimately threatens the rights of minorities. All too often, regulations on speech are used to silence the very people they were designed to protect in the first place. As Eleanor Holmes Norton has said: "It is technically impossible to write an anti-speech code that cannot be twisted against speech nobody means to bar. Free speech rights are indivisible. Restricting the speech of one group or individual jeopardizes everyone's rights because the same laws or regulations used to silence bigots can be used to silence you. Conversely, laws that defend free speech for bigots can be used to defend the rights of civil rights ...
