851 Words4 Pages

Martial Law is, it Curtailment or Absolute Control? Einstein once said, “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.” Unfortunately, it is those who we have placed our utmost trust in that are doing the evil. Whereas, those who are watching and are doing nothing, have been made incapable of doing so. As we travel through this essay we will be briefly covering what Martial Law is, what Martial Law enforces, why it is unacceptably unconstitutional and why an extreme situation isn’t needed for its uprising. What is Martial Law? Ironically, the definition will vary depending who is asked, which website one may choose, and even the search engine that is used. (Google) states that, …show more content…

Firstly, Martial Law supersedes all actions, laws, by-laws, authority, and the rights of both business’s and any human. We the people of the United States. Is this not what our constitution clearly begins with? The people? As for the so called extreme situation that would be needed for these curtailments to be implemented, the Martial Law has even found its way around this. According to Jim Garrison at (huffingtonpost). “Like the NDAA, the new Executive Order puts the government completely above the law, which, in a democracy, is never supposed to happen. The United States is essentially now under martial law without the exigencies of a national emergency.” So how is this possible? Or what is the emergency? The supposed war on terror is the answer, which according to our government is among every inch of our US boarders. Thus, the of declaring Martial Law is and has been active since 2012, but without pressing activity, or that we can see at

Analysis Of The Lesson By Toni Cade Bambara

519 Words | 3 Pages

While "The Lesson" by Toni Cade Bambara accurately represents African American culture and vocabulary, the critical article by Janet Ruth Heller primarily focuses on race and culture rather than poverty and socioeconomic inequality, the theme of "The Lesson. " The article by Heller does not delve into the main point of the short story (Heller). The article by Heller talks about using African American slang and vernacular to make the story more relatable to an African American's experience. " The Lesson's" main point is to show the children's poverty and how differently they live compared to their wealthy white counterparts. Although the critical article fails to capture the main idea, "The Lesson" song for the Literature Project by Molly Jacobs, a jazz improv, effectively captures the pride in African American heritage

Essay On War Powers Act

479 Words | 2 Pages

The main purpose of the act was to have the president and congress approach war efforts with “collective judgement,” yet the act itself seems to allow the president to bypass congress just as how presidents Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon did in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The act was supposed to correct the errors of such wars, but it really does not address the issue of powers between the executive and legislative branches effectively. In essence the president can declare war in the emergency when the United States is under attack, such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York and the Pentagon however, he is restricted from actually enacting war, meaning he can only say that there will be war, but he cannot start organizing and sending troops to hostile countries without the formal consent of congress. Therefore, the war powers act attempts to decrease the president’s power to enact war, but it violates the constitution and bypasses congressional authorization for war by permitting the president to send troops to hostile countries for 90

Even though he is an academic historian, he tried his best in writing this book in a way that even non-academic general readers can read and understand the content without having any knowledge to the history prior reading.

Great Declaration Interpretation

703 Words | 3 Pages

Defining the role of a legitimate government is an ongoing debate that merits close inspection. In the story of “the Great Declaration”, King Wu overthrows the Shang Dynasty and its leader King Shou after deeming his predecessor as illegitimate in the eyes of Heaven. King Wu finds King Shou to be unrepentantly selfish, egotistic, and cruel, leading to no other option than a coup. The Great Declaration explores the concept of legitimacy of governance and comes to the conclusion that a government deserves to be overthrown should it make no attempts to benefit its citizens in tandem with an unrepentant demeanor towards reconciling such an attitude. Throughout “the Great Declaration” King Shou repeatedly demonstrates a lackadaisical attitude towards his citizens.

To explain it precisely, the principle is that no one is above the law. The principle is intended to be a protection against arbitrary governance, whether by a dictator or by oligarchy.
