    1. The Texas political culture is a blend of traditionalist and individualist. Both of the traits can be traced back to the formation of Texas. The individualist roots of the lone star state can be tied to several factors. First, the American settlers and the Mexican people who strived to better themselves through opportunities had an individual mindset that made them desire to settle the rugged land. Second, after the revolution Texas became its own nation and with its own constitution. Third, with the abundant resources of cattle, cotton, and oil Texas was economically strong and needing little federal support. The traditionalist roots can be found in a few areas. First Texas having the abundant resources has created many wealthy people who have a power over the government. Second, many laws in Texas favor large corporations and low taxation. Third, full citizen participation in politics and voting has never been encouraged as much as many other states due to the wealthy and vast size. These are some of the factors of the traditionalist and individualist political culture of Texas today based strongly on the Jacksonian democracy. Tradtionalistic culture also was brought by the Anglo southern immigrants and their values about slavery.…

    The First Amendment was written in the Constitution in 1791, which listed basic civil liberties, rights that the government cannot take away from an individual, including free establishment and exercise of religion, freedom of speech, of the press, assembly and petition. The Free Speech Clause was added to the First Amendment in 1789 by James Madison, which stated that “Congress shall make no law….abridging freedom of speech”. Freedom of speech allows an individual to openly voice his opinions without fear of government’s censorship and is seen as a privilege to most Americans, which set them apart from other nations.…

    Historical Background In 1951, the New York State Board of Education, also known as the New York State Board of Regents provided a twenty-two word prayer that would be spoken each morning in the schools. The prayer read as follows: “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our Country.” It was believed the prayer would be a way to promote character and citizenship among the students who attended the schools of New York. In New Hyde Park, the Union Free School District No. 9 instructed the principal to have the prayer said aloud at the beginning of class in front of the teacher. However, the prayer was voluntary and students were permitted to stand or not stand, say the prayer or not say the prayer, stay in the classroom or leave the classroom.…

    Civil liberties and civil rights are fundamental for everyday living. In today’s society both of these terms have different prospective; civil rights are considered to be natural rights. In other words, civil rights means that people have the right to be treated the same regardless of their race, gender, or religion. Even thought civil rights are guaranteed by law, this prospective took many years to be achieved. For example, after the Civil War African and Americans were still treated badly; they got the worst jobs and were paid poorly. On the other hand, civil liberties are “Rights in freedom that protect an individual from the government” (Welch 404). Most civil liberties are found in the bill of rights; which are the first ten amendments of the constitution.…
