- 22432: Money Vs Morality
- ... that happened, the English were importing slaves by the hundreds from Africa. One New Englander said that they could equal the cost of twenty slaves to one indentured servant.

Almost all gun control debates begin with an individual’s interpretation. The Second Amendment to the Constitution guarantees us the right to arm ourselves in order to defend ourselves and our society: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Some people who have never actually read the Constitution will argue, “The Second Amendment says it’s okay for to have guns for hunting, but not handguns and assault rifles and guns that are actually designed to kill people.” The truth is that there is not one word in the Second Amendment ... an extension of the Preamble.

The ...
- 22434: Student Preparedness
- ... school did not prepare him for university. The article goes on to give two examples, one in Virginia and one in Ontario of how these types of problems are being dealt with. The editor agrees s that the school system should be held more responsible for its graduates, but makes it clear that lawyers only complicate matters. I believe that Jonathan Govias case should be heard in a court of law due to the fact that schools have a certain responsibility and if it is not met then something needs to be done about it. I am in total disagreement with the Ontario s school plan to get rid of this problem and am a total fan of the Virginia pilot project, because unlike the Ontario plan they are actually looking to help the students and not their own ... like any other business should be held responsible if their services fail, or does not meet the standard that the school promises to meet. I believe that the school is very much responsible for Jonathan s post secondary education. Private schools take pride in the fact that they can provide a better education than public schools and that they prepare their students with the tools they need to survive in ...

This implies that the new government that was being formed derived its sovereignty from the people, which would serve to prevent it from becoming corrupt and disinterested in the people, as the framers believed Britain’s government had become. If the Bill of Rights is considered, more supporting ideas become evident.

This tradition was clear even in the early colonies, like Plymouth, which was formed by Puritan dissenters from ...
