...Questions: 1 Select either Shays' Rebellion or ADA, 1990. Discuss how your chosen event/legislation is either an example of Freedom vs. Order or Freedom vs. Equality. In Shay’s Rebellion the Articles of Confederation created a government consisting of a decentralized federal system and power centered around the state governments. The Articles of Confederation gave the states too many freedoms which disrupted the order set in place in the colonies, which allowed resistance to order such as Shay’s Rebellion to happen. The states had the freedom of allowing American farmers against sate and local enforcement of tax collections and judgements for debt. 1 What freedoms are most important to you? For me, I believe that my most important freedom is Freedom of Expression. I have been taught times in history where certain people were not given that right. Many people can have their lives destroyed for simply having an opinion that goes against the ruling power or vast majority; I am thankful to live in a country and time period where it is one of my unalienable rights for me to express myself on any platform. 1 What freedoms are you willing to give up in an effort to maintain order? I believe that the second amendment, Right to Bear Arms, is in dire need of reformations. In recent times we have seen a plethora of mass shootings all over the country which is leaving many citizens at unrest. I don’t think we should put tighter gun restrictions but simply regulate to whom we place...

...What important purposes are served by the right to amend the Constitution guaranteed by Article V? Evaluate James Madison’s claim in Federalist 43 that the Constitution “guards equally against the extreme facility which would render the Constitution too mutable, and that extreme difficulty which might perpetuate its discovered faults.” Some critics of the amending process contend that amendments, once proposed, should be submitted to popular vote, bypassing state legislatures. Do you agree or disagree? Why? P1. According to professor Douglas Linder, the delegates assembled in Philadelphia were under no illusions that the constitutional scheme they were struggling to establish was perfect for present circumstances, much less perfect for the future generations of Americans. Jefferson’s letter to James Madison in 1789 included these words: “Every constitution...naturally expires at the end of 19 years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force and not of right.” If we were to take Jefferson’s words literally, we would have to disagree, since it goes hand and hand with the process of the human mind. P2. The framers believed that a flexible constitution would provide the protection needed by a young and somewhat fragile government against revolutionary upheavals. As one delegate said, "The novelty and difficulty of the experiment requires periodical revision.” In order to form a more perfect union under the Preamble, it was necessary to provide a means to keep...

...United States Army Adjutant General School Mission Command Essay The Battle of Dong Ap Bia: Hamburger Hill LTC Weldon Honeycutt CPT Shamika Hill Adjutant General Captain Career Course 003-16 June 30, 2016 For ten long days, American and South Vietnamese Army troops fought alongside each other to gain control of Dong Ap Bia, Hill 937. Their mission was to search and destroy the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and the Viet Chong (VC), believed to have grouped in the A Shau Valley area. The battle now known as Hamburger Hill begun May 10, 1969 and is recognized as one of the last major encounter between the Americans and the NVA. Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Weldon Honeycutt, commander of the 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment (3-187th) was determined to accomplish his assigned mission and seize Hill 937. After ten long hard fought days and many casualties from both sides, the 3-187th successfully occupied the hill on May 20. But at what cost? LTC Honeycutt improper use of the mission command principles; understanding, assessing, and visualizing; led to a prolonged engagement which cost additional casualties. Hamburger Hill occurred during Operation Apache Snow, the second part of a three-phased campaigned aimed at annihilating the NVA bases in the treacherous A Shau Valley. LTC Honeycutt and the 3-187th received the mission to search and destroy the Peoples of Vietnam Forces (PAVN) in the A Shau Valley in order to block the NAV from infiltrating the northern providence...

...While being informed by a Vietnamese translator that he was fighting The Pride of Ho Chi Minh, or the highly elite 29th Regiment of the North Vietnamese Army (NVA), Lieutenant Colonel Weldon Honeycutt responded by saying “Tell him I’m glad to know they’re around here. Tell him that’s why we came here- to kill North Vietnamese soldiers-and if they are around, they’ll just be doin’ us a favor78-79.” This bold statement, stated by the commander of a unit tasked to take a hill with heavily fortified enemy positions, shows that he understood his mission- plain and simple. LTC Honeycutt, commander of the 3d Battalion, 187th Infantry (the "Rakkasans"), lead his unit in accordance with the doctrinal tasks of mission command. LTC Honeycutt was responsible for the United States victory on Hamburger Hill through the operations process activities by correctly understanding the operational environment, properly directing his unit and combat power, accurately assessing the evolving situation, and properly leading his subordinates to a successful mission. A profane, outspoken, fiercely competitive man, Honeycutt was the prototype of the hard-nosed commander. Born in 1931 in the mill town Greensboro, North Carolina, Honeycutt had lied, at sixteen with only a sixth-grade education, about his age and enlisted in the army. At five feet eight, other officers thought he lacked having command presence. Because of this, he applied himself to the military life with a religious passion and quickly...

...NEW YORK (AP) — Eliot Spitzer has met the deadline to file thousands of petition signatures for his bid to revive his political career by running for New York City comptroller. Spitzer said that "over 27,000 signatures" were submitted to the city Board of Elections just after 10:30 p.m. Thursday, ahead of a midnight deadline. It came just four days after the tarnished ex-governor launched his campaign. Spitzer needs 3,750 valid petition signatures to get on the Democratic primary ballot for September. "I just want to first and foremost thank the citizens of New York that signed these petitions," Spitzer said outside the Board of Elections office in lower Manhattan. "I want to say it's an important statement for those who said it was not possible in the course of three and a half days to gather these signatures to get a candidate on the ballot for citywide office." Meanwhile, NBC said Spitzer would appear on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno Friday night. "Saturday Night Live" cast member Bill Hader, who did an impression of Spitzer in a 2010 skit, also was scheduled. The filing may not be the last word. Spitzer's opponents or others could challenge signatures for reasons such as incomplete addresses or missing dates. If that happens, elections officials will have to review the objections, hold a hearing late this month and decide whether the signatures qualify. The matter could ultimately go to court. Spitzer, who resigned amid a prostitution scandal in 2008...

...Erin Rocker AP Gov Per 4 10/30/13 Interest Groups Litigation- the act or process of bringing or contesting a legal action in court. Litigation is used to put pressure on officials in order to achieve their goals. Legal strategies are used to affect public opinion on certain issues that the interest group is advocating. In addition to litigation, interest groups also use the media to make their stand on certain issues known to the general public. Campaign Contributions-refers to all funds raised in order to promote candidates, political parties, or policies in elections, referendums, initiatives, party activities, and party organizations. Interest groups use campaign contributors because they give faster results than lawsuits or mass mobilization- you are dealing with one person (the politician you are funding); it buys the candidate's loyalty and support; it provides access when the interest group needs assistance; it is more effective on a single, focused issue; you don't need a large group of people to back you up (as with mass mobilization). Grassroots Lobbying- asking the public to contact legislators concerning the issue at had, as opposed to going to the legislators directly. A grassroots lobby puts pressure on the legislature to address the concerns of a particular group by mobilizing that group, usually through raising public awareness and running advocacy campaigns. A group or individual classified as a lobbyist must submit regular disclosure reports; however,...

...Simranjit Singh Mr.Hillyer AP US History September 8, 2014 New English Vs. Chesapeake Although new England and Chesapeake region were both settled largely by people of English origin by 1700, these regions developed differently through the variety of distinct values throughout religion, varied priorities and class structure. Religion had an high impact to immigration. In Document 9, New England migrates from the three centers of English Puritanism. The Puritan church was the most important church in New England, which led settlers to become very different from those of the Chesapeake region. In Document 1, John Winthrop wants to from a "city on a hill" so the colony would be good example to the church of England. Puritans established congregational rule that led to town meeting and gave the New England colonists more control over polities. Also they had state laws that reformed religion teachings. this made England different form the Chesapeake religion because they were more religious. In the ‘New World’ the Pilgrims would work to develop not just a religious society, but one in which all items are shared, as seen in Document 4. The puritans in the New England area felt as though the key to survival and they key to salvation, while working hand in hand, were necessary to create a ‘perfect society’. Compare this to the values brought over to Virginia and highlighted in Document 6 in which John Smith describes a destitute group of colonists who are barely surviving...
