From the early of 1775, people in America went through a lot to achieve their independence and unity. There are three important documents play different roles in American Revolutionary War, but all make lots of outstanding contributions during the process of American were fighting for liberty, rights, and independence. The three following documents during the struggle for independence are Olive Branch Petition, Common Sense, and the Declaration of
The authors claimed opposition “unnerves the aim of government” and “aids the enemy”, which is Great Britain in this case . By their statement that opposition in turn benefitted the British, the representatives called dissent as essentially against United States’ interests. The authors associate opposition as a threat to the union and thus, concludes opposition “will finally end in anarchy and rebellion” . The Democratic-Republican representatives cite European history as proof that opposition and division creates disunion, animosity and “distrust when confidence is required”. Additionally, they focus on Federalist opposition specifically and even state Federalists contradict themselves in a way that “Federalists called aloud for war and abused the government for not declaring it…but now...you are told the war is unjust” .
On the other hand, the Anti-Federalist, democratic-republicans,
The Olive Branch Petition was sent from the colonists to Great Britain in hopes of achieving peace and relieving the tensions between them put in place prior to the Battle of Lexington and Concord in 1774. Great Britain responded to the petition with a letter referring to the colonists as traitors to their mother country. This response effectively initiated the Revolutionary War for the colonists. Many varying political views stemmed from whether the colonists should embark on a revolution that would move them out of the guidance of Great Britain and that would provide them independence from Great Britain. Some argued that the revolution would be a “conservative” revolution where every thing will remain largely the same, in terms of political

Although their cause was noble, unions were often maligned for being aggressive or violent; thus, they were often disbanded before any real progress could be made. While many began to lose hope in their current politicians, a new party emerged in 1892 in order to take matter into their own hands. This party, was called the Populist Party (Document 7). The Populist Party platform denounced both of the two main parties at this time for
Strength develops in someone through their experiences which have the ability to make them an emotionally stronger person. A quote by Ernest Hemingway presents that “the world breaks everyone, then some become strong at the broken places.” Even those who suffer the most will have the ability to bounce back at a stronger state. This theme reveals its relevance in A Separate Peace by John Knowles as we analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the main characters, Finny and Gene. Although some may insist that Finny’s emotional state fits the mold of a weak character, I have confidence that Finny has the most inner strength out of the two boys given his description and actions throughout the novel.
Heated debates and political oddities are bringing attention to the 2016 Presidential race at historical levels, giving Bernie Sanders the prime opportunity to expose key issues while rising in what he calls a “Political Revolution”. Despite the fact that there are several Republican and Democrat candidates currently running for President, only Bernie stands out as honestly representing the best interests of the American people; as the continuous growth in his polling numbers indicate.

An identity can be defined as who a person is inside and out.
Beyond just believing that the Constitution should be ratified, the Anti-Federalist Party had a broad ideology that they held foremost to their cause. They believed that Congress and the Executive Branch held too much power in the federal government and over the people of the people in the United States. They thought that under the Constitution
Can an antiquated lens provide an adequate examination and understanding of modern warfare? The theories of Carl von Clausewitz retain remarkable contemporary merit and relevance in explaining the critical elements affecting warfare in the modern era. Carl von Clausewitz’s theories of war endeavor to be comprehendible, comprehensive, and strategic. Clausewitz contends that the conduct of war itself is without doubt very difficult. But the difficulty is not that erudition and great genius are necessary to understand the basic principles of warfare.1 Clausewitz 's 1812 essay, the Principles of War, offers military commanders, with little campaign experience, a comprehendible, comprehensive, and strategic model for attaining victory in battle.
