America land of the free and home of the great, But in all reality is America as great is…
America is known as the land of the free, and home of the brave, but that was not always the terms of its existence. America started off like any other country, poor, in debt, and under another countries rule. Luckily, the country that they were under was Great Britain, who underestimated the power of the fight for freedom. The U.S got their independence because of the colony structure, the French support, and their passion for liberty.…
America is a place of patriotism, a place of bravery and a place where there is no shame in stating your ethnicity, your religious beliefs, or your personal beliefs. America is a place where people all over the world come to relieve off of their families the political and economical strains of their home countries.…
From the beginning America’s economy was based on democracy and free trade, causing America to fight long and hard to throw off the yoke of their European oppressors. The founding fathers made freedom a priority when compiling the laws and articles of the United States Constitution. Still today, the constitution represents the freedom and democracy that America stands for. America’s legacy is acceptance and respect of all ethnicities and religions. The Statue of Liberty continues to serve as a concrete symbol of America’s ideals of liberty and equality for all.…
I think America means freedom. I think this because every single person in America has many…
America to me is Perseverance. Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th. No matter what happens to our country we always have to push through. Whether it was during World Wars, The Great Depression or the September 11th attacks, you have to keep going. I realized that when you work together anything is possible. Where would we be if we would've given up? Nowhere.…
“Brave hearts do not back down.” This quote is special to me because I know people I would consider as brave or a hero, but my top pick would be the soldiers. We can all agree that there is much more that our extraordinary veterans go through in order to make this nation the very best. I believe in an America that offers every child access to a world-class education, gives back to our current and fallen heroes, and that creates a common sense gun law in an effort to save our loved ones.…
America! A country where we have freedom of speech, religion, fear, and want. It is a country that has given people more liberty and justice. It is often said that to be an American you sharing a commitment to a set of values and ideals. These are set and stone rules based on our country. To be or to become an American, one does not have to be a particular religion, or ethnic background. As Americans, we have more privileges than any other country in the entire world so we should appreciate everything that is offered to us. These freedoms are what set us apart from other parts of the world. Along with the name comes a number of different benefits such as freedom of speech, to be able to express your opinion and say whatever you want, freedom of religion and equality for all. Being an American is much more than living in the United States.…
One of the most important parts of the Declaration of Independence is its preamble, and, more specifically, certain phrases contained within the preamble. Thomas Jefferson does an excellent job of explaining why the colonies are doing the things they are doing, and is very clear in stating what he and his associates think are the “unalienable rights” of the American people. Among these are “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Probably one of the most famous lines in American history, I have chosen to focus on this phrase and what those three things might have meant to Thomas Jefferson and the other Founding Fathers as they prepared this document, as well as what they mean to us today.…
There are three words that explain what America means to me, sacrifice, freedom, and equality. Sacrifice, is putting yourself in front of the danger in front of you, to stand up for what is right and to selflessly suffer for others to have blessed lives. Freedom, is to be able to do what you please without the fear of persecution. Equality, is a strong word that has a deep meaning, it means, being able to treat everybody the same even if some hold a higher ranking. All of these things are what Americans do as a whole united nation, by sacrificing, getting freedom, and equality. This is what America means to…
The America I believe in we have a lots of freedom and privacy because of the soldiers that risked their lives to save and protect our freedom so we don't have to be dictated or told what we do in life. I am very grateful for all they have done for our great nation. Thanks to them we don't have slavery. We are also very wealthy and not a third world country.…
In recent times, France has experienced monumental events that foreshadow quite a different future for France, and the beginning of a new revolutionary regime. Disorder and theft have unfortunately accompanied violent events and in response: the formation of the National Guard. The Guard is composed of professional soldiers, foreign mercenaries, merchant and shopkeepers’ sons, and sons of the most comfortable master workers and journeymen, and other “active” tax paying citizens of the middle class. With such an important role as to maintain order and law in France and to protect the Constitution, it is presumed that the Commander General of this Guard must be one whom is well versed in commanding a large force.…
Essay Question: Freedom and lack of Freedom existed side by side in English colonies. Using examples from Pennsylvania and elsewhere demonstrate how greater freedom for some colonists meant less freedom for others. 300 to 600 words…
Our constitutional rights are that we all have the same rights. We cannot be hired nor fired based on age, sex, religion, race, or sexual orientation. We cannot treat people differently for any reason if we do we are punished by our courts. The punishment given to those who discriminate is a severe punishment. We may be charged criminally with a measure eleven which has a mandatory minimum of 72 months (6 years) in prison measure eleven charges are not eligible for early release based on good behavior. I have to wonder why; neither the Federal Government nor the U.S. Supreme Court will look at gay marriage or domestic partnership the same as a traditional marriage. Gay marriage is not accepted and is not recognized. Making medical decisions for your partner in the horribly tragic situation that they cannot make their own decisions, custody of children in the event that one of the partners is no longer going to be around to raise the child, and being forced to testify against the one you love in the court of law; are just a few of the reasons why gay marriage should be legal Although there are many more reasons I do not have the space to go over all of them with you. I will then tell you why the Federal Government and the United States Supreme Court do not up-hold the same values that we are forced to follow in our lives, what can we do to change this, and why should we vote to change this.…
Sovereignty, liberty, and independence are many different words for freedom, but no word in the world could sum up how much it impacts our lives. Freedom plays a part in our lives every single day, and it's often taken for granted. Everyday veterans risk their lives so that we can enjoy having these freedoms. A few ides people take for granted are how veterans are risking their lives for our freedoms, our freedom of speech, and the right to enjoy many other freedoms.…
