Back in the 1600s there was a Wampanoag Nation that was made up of 67 villages. Around 40,000 people lived in the Wampanoag Nation. They lived in the territory of what is now Cape Cod, Nantucket, Noepe, and Rhode Island. They often refer to the earth as Turtle Island. When the settlers arrived the made a peace treaty but the Wampanoag grew tired of bad treatement. Now about 4,000 - 5,000 Wampanoag people live in New England.
In 1616 traders from Europe arrive in the Americas bringing the Yellow Fever with them. This resuts in 2/3 of the Wampanoag nation dying. In 1620 the Mayflower arrives and the Wampanoags wait three months before aproaching out of fear of another disease being brought. Later in 1632 missionaries arrive to convert the Wampanoag to Christianity.
The meaning of Wampanoag is people of the first light. Another meaning is easterners.
The Wampanoags spoke a language that belonged to Algonquian language family. Algonquin languages were spoken in Canada, Nww England, Atlantic Coastal Region, and the Great Lakes Region. The language its self has been called Massachusett and Wampanoag. The language of the Wampanoag is related to the languages spoken by the Mohican, Pequot, and Narrangasett.
Part of the Wampanoag tradition is their religion. Religion was a big part of their life as they were Spiritualists. They believed in Mother Earth. They had two major celebrations, the Wampanoaf New Year where in the spring they thanked Mother Earth for her gifts, and the Wampanoag strawberry picking festival in the summer where they would honor Mother Earth's gift of the strawberry crop.
Two big food sources for Wampanoags were maize (corn) and beans, this made up about 70% of their diet. 20% of their diet was made up meat. The other 10% was made up of gathered plant materials, eggs, and fish. While the Wampanoags would mostly eat food when it was available they would also store some of it by drying it for the winter season.
The Wampanoags lived in wetus and nush wetus. During the summer they lived in the wetus. These were built near the coast to be coser to the ocean. They were made out of cedar saplinfs and woven reeds. During the winter they lived in nush werus. These were inland and larger. In English nush wetus are also called longhouses.
The First Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights. This amendment protects different freedoms of US citizens. These include the freedom of speech, press, assembly, and petition. The First Amendment also protects religion by prohibiting the government of making any laws that prevent someone of practicing the religion of their choice.
The founding fathers created the first amendment for many reasons. Each part has a different one. For example they added the freefom of religion because many people had fled to the US due to religous persecution and they wanted these people to protected. They added the part about freedom of speech because they didn't want the government punishing people from voicing opinions. The founding father's also included other freedoms/rights like freedom of press, the right to asseble, and the right to petition so people would be able to voice their thoughts and so the same things the British did to them would not happen with this newly created government.
I think one potential negative impact is that people feel the need to say everything that comes to their minds. They think the first amendment will protect them and on many cases it does. The first amendment allows people to say or publish hateful things towards others without any reprucusion from the law. This has helped in creating a very divided country where you are either from one side or the other.
I think some positive impacts of the first amendment is that people have been able to fight for their rights. Under the first amendment they can voice their opinions, gather in protest, and petition for change in government policies. All of these has lead to movements that have helped minority groups obtain their rights. Movements like Black Lives Matter, Women's Suffrage Movement, and LGBTQ+ would probably have not existed without this amendment.
Clarence Brandenburg was convicted for a speech he made tu members of the KKK in Ohio. During this speech Brandenburg made many anti-Semetic and anti-black statements, he also alluded to ats of revenge and a march on Washington D.C.. Brandenburg was fined and sentenced to prison for advocating the necessity of crime, sabatoge, or terrorism for political reform. The Supreme Court overturned this conviction. This court case is significant becoaue it was establshed that speech that advocates illegal behaviors is protected unless the speech is likely to cause imminent danger or illegal behaviors.
The Second Amendment was adopted in 1791 in the Bill of Rights. It protects the right tobear arms but this amendment nowadays there are two overarching interpretations. One group says that the Second Amendment is about the right of individuals and the other says that it is about the right of the state to have militia. I think that this protection is not necessary now but it was at some point. In my opinion this amendment is outdates, and it either needs to be updated or remade.
The second amendment was created to keep in the government in check. The specific part it keeps in check is Article I Section 8 which talks about the congrassional power to organize and arm the federal militia. The militia that the Second Amendment talks about would be able to protect the people if it was necessary.
The Founding Fathers included the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights in order for the people to be protected from the government and any other threats. They wanted to have checks in place that would prevent history from repeating itself. I do not think these reasons are valid. As time moves on the circumstances change, meaning that the things that were happening that affected the Founding Father's decision do not continue to affect us now.
There are three types of resrictions put in place by different laws. One is on storage , this restricts how people store guns and ammunition in their homes. The next is on carrying, which restricts people's ability to carry a concealed weapon. The last is about use, this restricts circumstances in which people can take action in a potentioally death inducing way in self-defence. Some laws that have been proposed and passed are the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the Vote Without Fear Act, and Delware Lethal Firearms Safety Act of 2022,.
I think gun control is controversial because the two sides are complete opposites and most people don't want to put themselves in the other's shoes. Some people have grown up around guns, and it is a big part of who they are, so they don't want to have more control because they feel that it is a normal part of life. Other people have been affected by gun violonce, or seen the damage that guns can do so they want a very different type of gun control. I feel that both sides want very extreme policies on gun control, and they do not want to compromise.
The 5th Amendment refers to rights that are relevant to legal proceedings. This amendment guarantees the right to a grand jury, protets against self-incrimination, forbids double jeopardy, the right to due process, and eminent domain. The fifth amenment protects citizens in the court of law and makes sure they are trated fairly in the system. I do not think that someone using the fifth amendment is an admission of guilt because some people may get nervous and accidently say something to falsely incriminate themselves. They could also be pressured into a lie by the jury, being able to plead the fifth can protect themselves from this.
The fifth amendment was created to protect people in the court system and make sure they are treated fairly. The fifth amendment gives a defendant the chance to prove their innocence. It protects the accused against infamy and persecution. It was also created to keep the power of the courts in check.
The Founding Fathers included the fifth amendment in the Bill of Rights to keep the balances in check. They wanted everyone that had been accused of a crime to have the opportunity of proving their innocence. The Founding Father's also created the fifth amendment because they didn't want the court system to take advantafe of citizens like the British had done. I think their reasons are still balid becuase there are a lot of places in the world where the court systems take advantage of the people. By including the fifth amendment they have prevented this from happening in the US.
I think people hold the preconception that you're only quiet if you have something to hide. So, if a defendant is pleading the 5th they are hiding their guilt. I believe this preconception is incorrect. I think that the 5th amendment has been put in place to protect people from the justice system. I believe that there have been many cases where pleading the 5th has been peoples only option. This way they are not taken advantage of or pressured into falsely admiting their guilt.
The 14th Amendment states that a citizen of the US is any person that has been born in the US. They are citizens regardless of their race. This amendment also states that the federal government can challenge state governments when they restrict immunities or rights of citizens. This amenment also overturned the Dredd Scott decision which decided that former slaves were not citizens of the US.
The 14th amendment was ratified July 9th in 1868. This amendment was meant to expand the scope of protection of individual liberties in the USA. This amendment created a lot of controversy and a lot of legal scholars from the south claimed that the 14th amendment was invalid because of its ratification process. During this process two states withdrew their approval but were still counted as ratifiers. But because of the civil war southern states had to ratify the 14th amendment to be readmitted into the Union. Now, all of the states that originally disagreed with the amendment have approved ot it, ending the qustions about its legal satus.
The changes brought by the 14th amendment were opposed mostly by states in the South since some had laws restricting he rights of former slaves. Some peopel that were indirectly affected were Native Americans. Due to tribal laws they were not granted citizenship until 1924 when Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act. This amendment could also indirectly affect the court of law becuase now they have to treat former slaves and black citizens with more rights than they used to.
After a ruling of the court in 1896, segregation in public schools based on race was allowed if the facilities were "equal." This court case overuled this decision. It was decided that public school segregation was in violation of the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. Essentially the court ruled that regrdless of the "equality", seperate is unequal.
The 15th amendment was ratified in 1870. This amendment secured voting rights for Black men since before they could not vote in all states. This amendment also made it illegal to refuse Black men the right to vote due to their race or if they had been previously enslaved. This amendment gave millions of formerly enslaved men the right to vote and participate politically. This amendment did not stop obstacles put in place to prevent certain groups from voting but it did make them unconstitutional.
After the American CIvil War the First Reconstruction Act was passed by congress, over the veto of President Andrew Johnson. It was important for African American men to have a voice in the political aspect of their country and this amendment allowed that. A short while after states in opposition starting putting in place laws like Jim Crow laes to limit African Americans from excercising their rights.
Even thugh this amendment was put in place, by the late 1870s there were already plenty of discriminatory practices put in place, especially in the South, to prevent Black citizens from voting. States in opposition put in place Jim Crow laws like taxes that generally did not apply to white voters, literacy tests, or having to demonstrate that you own property. These laws and conditions were enforced by the Ku Klux Klan, or KKK, with fear and violence if necessary. This amendment can be said to indirectly impact the safety of Black citizens. It is an indirect cause of their rigths being taken away. Another group of peopel that are potentially indirecty affected are politicians, because now they have to appeal to a larger audience, which will have different needs and opinions.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 that had been put in place prevented states from using a test to deny citizens the right to vote. But under the Attorney General's jurisdiction the federal examinerscould intervene and investigate election irreguarities. This case questioned if the act violated a states right to implement/control elections. In the end it was decided that the act was constitutional. This act was a reinforcement clause to the 15th Amendment and it prevented the things that had denied the black people to vote in elections.
The 19th Amendment was ratified in the 1920s, this amendment officially gave women the right to vote. This right is known as women's suffrage. The Women's Suffrage movement started before the Civil War and continued to grow. Even after the 19th Amendment pass women of color were restricted from voting by things like poll taxes and local laws. It took more than 40 years after the amendment passed for all women to acheive voting equality.
The changes brought by the 19th amendement were opposed by the men in power. To them it was scary that women were gaining more power and they did not want women to be on the same level as them. This amendment also indirectly affected those men because women had more rights, therefore they had less control over women.
Ceilia Waters and Mary Randolph were granted registration as voters in 1920 but their names were taken off the list by Oscar Leser. His argument was that the Maryland constitution limited suffrage to men. The decision of this courtcase ended up addresed adding to the state electorate and the contradiction in the state legislation.
The 22nd amendment was ratified on February 27, 1951. This amendment limits the number of terms a president may serve to two. A president can only serve up to 10 years. This can happen if a person becomes president without election and serves less than two years, and then serve two full terms. There have been some calls to repeal the amendment, but overall the amendment has been uncontroversial. This is because it allows voters to elect the president democratically.
The changes brought by the 22nd amendment were not really opposed by anyone since they brought benefits and allowed people to vote democratically. The president is obviously directly affected by this amendment since it explicitly talks about the president. But this amendment indirectly affects the people voting because they are the ones who have to vote every few years, and choose different people to vote for everyfew terms.
1. Even though it was not a law, it was a tradition to not run for a third term for 150 years.
2. Theodore Roosvelt was the first president to oficially run for a third term in 1912. He lost.
3. Franklin Delano Roosvelt was elcted in 1940 for a third term.
4. FDR was elected to a fourth term in 1944 but he died four years into it, he would have served 16 years in total.
