.... Boston Tea Party.(Eldridge,15) The stage was set for the birth of the First Amendment, which formally recognized the natural and inalienable rights of Americans to think and speak freely. The first Amendments early years were not entirely auspicious. Although the early Americans enjoyed great freedom compared to citizens of other nations, even the Constitution's framer once in power, could resist the string temptation to circumvent the First Amendment's clear mandate. Before the 1930s, we had no legally protected rights of free speech in anything like the form we now know it .....

.... 467,000 homicides in the United States. Based on that number, 2.8 people will die every hour at the hands of another person. Death row inmates are often on death row for years, some upwards of twenty years. This puts great financial strain on taxpayers' money. While in prison, inmates have many privileges, including cable television, the chance to pursue a college degree, and free health care, all at taxpayers' expense. There are many law-abiding citizens who don't get these benefits. It is appalling to think these people have a virtual life of leisure while in priso .....

.... lessons to the young couples about birth control. They also explained the good things about having just one child, such as lower costs for the family, and a population stabilization.

This misinterpretation caused many people to use any way they could to hide or get rid of a second child. However, now everyone knows and understands how important that law was. Some of the young couples would rather adopt babies from the orphanage or from some poor family. I‘ .....

.... But who in reality is using arguments of a bygone Century? It is an incontrovertible fact of biological science - Make no Mistake - that from the moment of conception, a new human life has been created. Only those who allow their emotional passion to overide their knowledge, can deny it: only those who are irrational or ignorant of science, doubt that when a human sperm fertilizes a human ovum a new human being is created. A new human being who carries genes in its cells that make that human being uniquely different from any and other huma .....

.... under the constitution? Our concerns occur, on account of special interest groups that are fighting to change the freedom of expression, the right to freely represent individual thoughts, feelings, and views, in order to protect their families as well as others.

Eighth grade marijuana users have increased by 12.1% from 1991 to 1996, a substantial enough climb to raise concerns about. Drugs are getting easier and easier to get at a younger age these days. A whopping 21.2% of eighth graders also abuse inhalants (glues, aerosols, and solvents), these are very dangerous substances to inhale, sometimes causing permanent brain damage.
