The book helped reveal the reasons why legal systems were created in the first place by documenting the prolongation of social order as well as the preservation of self interest. Anne Orthwood’s Bastard critically examines the role of unfree labor, women, religion and law in colonial life which tends to answer the question of what values and customs were aligned with the start of American civilization. In addition, the way English law was used as a menacing force by the colonial states to help maintain the social order and promote capitalist development as well as renovate social relations. The social and legal systems of the states became closely tied to their religious beliefs, as well as English
The 14th Amendment passed by Congress and the amendment that we created in class show similar and different sections and information. The 14th amendment passed by Congress and our class express pros and cons that affect the United States heavily. The class amendment has a chance of being ratified if some articles/sections are changed. The South would be deeply affected if the amendment was to be passed.

The laws were made to equalize society, establish justice and fairness, bring about the rule of righteousness, and protect the weak from the strong. However, the rich and poor, men and women, and elites and commoners were treated differently under the law based on their social hierarchy and distinctions, which soon became normal and accepted in society.

IV. Addressing the opposition A. Argument 1 The Plaintiff has argued that this regulation is in best interest for the public and provides security for the society as a whole. They want the regulation to be considered Constitutional because it was voted on by the majority and therefore, it is in the best interest of the community and should therefore be enacted. This argument does not speak to the constitutional issue of the case. The Supreme Court’s main objective is to protect individuals and minorities from oppressive government.
The Constitution of the Unites States had many problems that had to be fixed by adding amendments. Once an amendment is ratified by the majority it trumps what the Constitution originally stated is the law. The Twelfth Amendment was added to the flawed Constitution, so voting for President and Vice President was separate. The goal was to fix situations like the 1796 and 1800 elections. The Twelfth Amendment was added to the United States Constitution, because the 1796 and 1800 elections found faults in the Constitution, and these additions caused major changes in the executive branch.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it state that women are citizens. Women have never been legally declared persons in this country, not by the Founding Fathers, not by the Constitution, not by the Supreme Court. The Fifteenth Amendment guarantees to right to vote to all U.S. citizens, whatever their race, whether they had been born free or born a slave, but it didn’t include women the right to vote. Women fought along for the abolition of slavery. When the battle was won, black men got the right to vote.
The 14th Amendment is the right for those born on American soil to automatically become a citizen. Although there are some who wish to see a revision to the 14th Amendment, citizenship should continue to be based on birth as Chaves states in “The Case for Birthright Citizenship”. The 14th Amendment is seen as outdated by some Americans. The 14th Amendment was created for free slaves.
Since the signing of the United States Constitution, the dividing of powers in the United States has been based on the sharing of powers between the national government and the local governments (state governments in the case of the United States), which became known as Federalism. Amendment II states “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The Second Amendment has most recently been interpreted to grant the right of gun ownership to individuals for purposes that include self-defense. At first it was thought to apply only to the Federal government, but through the mechanism of the Fourteenth Amendment, it has been applied to the states as

In the past, they followed the words of the law quite literally. This meant that someone had to physically break into a place to be charged with burglary. However, today's courts understand that burglary can occur even without a forced entry. Threats can also qualify, making the crime more than just about breaking and entering.
Angela Davis Once said “Well for one, The 13th Amendment to the constitution of the U.S. which abolished slavery, did not abolish slavery for those convicted of a crime.” Although the amendment was desperately needed it made more problems for the U.S.The thirteenth amendment was about abolishing slavery. Many people had different opinions about this amendment. The amendment affected our nation dramatically. The 13th amendment to the United States Constitution says that, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
The third code is family law. In law 195 it says, “If a son has struck his father, his hands shall be cut off.” The son should be punished however, cutting off his hands is very extreme.
