    Case Summary: The Case For Old Glory

    What do you consider when you hear the words red, white, and blue? Do you naturally think about the flag of the United States of America? Our flag, as we probably see it today, is not the first flag with stars and stripes to be made. After the original thirteen colonies declared independence in 1776, Betsy Ross would sew the first U.S. Flag displaying the colors red, white and blue. The First Continental Congress on June 14, 1777, changed the shape of the stars from the circle pattern of the Ross design to the block shape we recognize today. Congress would give meaning to the colors of the flag in 1777. White would imply purity and innocence; red would be hardiness and valor; blue would become vigilance, perseverance…

    Just-Affirmative-Grant Theory

    It merely creates a new power subject to the previously existing limits. However, this just-an-affirmative-grant theory is problematic in that the 28th Am purports to confer an affirmative power on the states; yet the states do not derive their affirmative powers from the federal Constitution; thus, as to the states, the point of the Amendment is to lift the 1st Am's bar to flag-desecration prosecutions, and it is logical to assume that this is the point with respect to the federal government as well. Moreover, the obvious purpose of the 28th Am is, at a minimum, to overrule Texas v Johnson and United States v. Eichman. To hold otherwise would be to deny the People's ability to amend the Constitution. In a prosecution against White, White could object that he did not violate the Act because the homemade 49-star flag was not "the flag of the United States." To the extent that the Act covers imperfect flag replicas, White could argue, it exceeds the government's power under the 28th Amendment. These are close questions; however, the difficulty of determining what exactly counts as a U.S. flag is ordinarily invoked as an argument against a flag-desecration amendment, and by passing the amendment, Congress and the states rejected this argument. Presumably, the 28thAmendment gives Congress some leeway to define a U.S. flag broadly. Whether it did so in the Act is largely a question of statutory construction, while the assignment asks for constitutional arguments. {Comment: Perhaps the statute fails to give proper notice, a due process issue that some answers raised.} Finally, Vermont probably has third-party standing to raise the 1st Am objection on the ground that overly broad laws chill free speech, and should be amenable to challenge by any party with Article III…

    Jolly Rogers

    Jolly Rogers

    Do you ever wonder what the skull on the pirate flag mean and why they would choose to have that kind of flag? Throughout the 17th century and well into the 18th century, the common symbol hoiseted by a pirate ship was a simple red flag. That red flag symbolized that it had been dipped in blood – and that blood would be shed if the ship under attack did not surrender immediately. From the red flag it seems that individual pirates began to develop their own personal flags in order to terrify their foes into a quick surrender. In contrast with the well known red flag, they used the black flag of quarantine and diesase as the base, with the universal sysmbol for death. Later they use the term Jolly Roger and the name goes back at least to Charles Johnson's A General History of the Pyrates, published in 1724. The term also came into common use in the early 1700s. Pirates would hoist their version of the Jolly Roger as a way to announce to other ships that surrender was expected. Most merchant ships, upon seeing the Jolly Roger, did just that. The book also mentions that both Bartolomew Roberts and Francis Spriggs both called their flag the Jolly Rogers, though the flags were different and neither were the popular skill and crossbones design. As early as 1704, pirates were referring to their flags as Rogers and in 1703, one captain referred to his flag as “Old Roger.” The name Roger derives from the word rogue, meaning a wandering theif or vagabond. The name “Old Roger” was another name for the devil. The design of the flag consists of a human skull above two long bones set in an x-mark arrangement on a black field. This design was used by four pirates, captains Edward England, John Taylor, Sam Bellamy, and John Martel. Despite its appearance in popular culture, plain black flags were often employed by most pirates in the 17th - 18th century. Historically, the flag was flown to…

    Is the Confederate Flag a Symbol of Racism or Southern Pride?

    The Confederate States of America were formed in the 1861, following the formation of the States a flag needed to be created for the new nation. The flag was to resemble the United States of America flag, but the flag was also to be different. The flag was to be similar to the United States because some still felt allegiance to the Union. The first Confederate flag proposed replaced the stripes with two red bars and a white bar. The Confederate flag also added seven stars, one for the each state that was apart of the Confederate States of America. The flags official appearance was at the inauguration of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederate States of America. As more states joined the Confederacy more stars were added. Thirteen states in total were on the flag to represent, South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, and Kentucky. The problem with the Confederate Flag was presented during the Battle of Bull Run because the purpose of a battle flag was to help soldiers identify who is on what side, but the flag was so similar to the United States Flag confusion ensued. General P.G.T. Beauregrad suggested that the Confederate flag be changed to something that did not resemble the United States. The…

    Confederate Flag Research Papers

    The issue of the Confederate Flag has a long history. The fight in Michigan is over a different flag, the "Betsy Ross" flag. It was made in 1777. This was not long after the Declaration of Independence. The flag has 13 stars and 13 stripes. They stand for the 13 original colonies. These colonies became the United States. 240 years have passed by and the flag is now an issue to many people of color because, when the flag was made it was during the time of slavery and it was flown during the early days many people owned many slaves. In some parts of the world, such as North America there is a tremendous dispute over flowing the Confederate Flag in Columbia, South Carolina. South Carolina is mostly populated with many black people and there are also white people who flew the flags on their car. There are many flags…

    Confederate Flag Should Not Be Banned Essay

    The flag was designed after the outbreak of the war by William Porcher Miles, the mayor of Charleston, South Carolina, who aggressively supported slavery. The significance was clear: this means war. That war began in Miles own state when South Carolina seceded over the president’s opposition to slavery. Then 620,000 Americans died in the four bloodiest years of U.S. history. The Confederacy lost, but its battle flag endured as a symbol for the KKK, white supremacists, Dixiecrat opponents of civil rights like the late South Carolina Governor Strom Thurmond, and people buying into the effort to rebrand it as a symbol of southern pride and Confederate ancestry.The latest…

    The way I view the Canadian flag is that is simple and easy to remember. The colours capture the attention of the citizen as well as people from other countries. The red portrays Canada as a country that has the determination, strength, power and love for everyone because Canada has shown these values to the whole world and its citizen. Canada offers a safe environment, which a citizen can live calmly. Canada has the strength to make its national the best place to feel at home with everyone and this displays the meaning of the red colour. On the other hand, the white colour represents the peace, safety and humility. Seeing that Canada is a country…

    First Red Flag

    “All great movements are popular movements. They are the volcanic eruptions of human passions and emotions, stirred into activity by the ruthless goddess of distress or by the torch of the spoken word cast into the midst of the people.” (Hitler and Murphy). Throughout the centuries of human existence, there have been thousands of movements, some big, some small, however, none as monumental as the Holocaust. The Holocaust started when the Nazi’s came to power in January 1933 and didn’t end until twelve devastating years had passed ("Introduction to the Holocaust — United States Holocaust Memorial Museum"). Although the Holocaust’s original focus was persecuting the Jewish population and for Germany to prove their racial superiority, it evolved…
