King John and Stuff
It’s 1750, the Magna Carta has changed the ways of both colonists and king john. John has lost his power and control of taxes. He also lost control of the people and their freedom of speech. I asked a kind gent and he said he could only remember a few because he was a little tipsy (drunk). A couple bill of rights are freedom of speech in parliament and the right to petition. The buzzed gent also went on and on of how unfair the crimes were because there wouldn’t be a trial.
Oh its terrible how they treat them, they bought them from a boat and one of the African Americans told me he watched his mother, right before him die in the cold dark tragic night he couldn’t do anything because of the metal chains attached to the boat. That was one of most horrifying stories I have ever heard. As you can tell life as an African American slave was terrible. Every colony has at least a couple slaves and they treat them like dogs.
Religion is extremely important, both boys and girls had to read the bible 2-3 times. The preacher spread the word of god to many people and touched their souls by spreading their religion. Church was extremely important to people all around and the church was held on Sunday.
Most children are not educated and don’t go to public schools because in the north and south there are barely any public schools. For most older children religion slowed school down. The teacher of a school invited me in and it looked like a strict orderly class with the desks as neat as can

    It is apparent that all was not well in England in the years building up to the Magna Carta in 1215. The barons of the day, not royalty, but the upper crust of society, forced King John to sign the document because it greatly reduced the power he held as the King of England and allowed for the formation of a powerful parliament. In return, the barons took an oath of loyalty to King John under the agreement that all abide by it. The Magna Carta became the basis for English citizen's rights and it is evidence that the people of England faced many political, social, economic, and ethnic tensions with King John and his empire.…

    The Magna Carta is a document that King John of England (1166 - 1216) was forced into signing. King John was forced into signing the charter because it greatly reduced the power he held as the King of England and allowed for the formation of a powerful parliament. The Magna Carta became the basis for English citizen's rights. The purpose of the Magna Carta was to curb the King and make him govern by the old English laws that had prevailed before the Normans came. The Magna Carta was a collection of 37 English laws - some copied, some recollected some old and some new. The Magna Carta demonstrated that the power of the king could be limited by a written grant.…

    The Magna Carta today is more important for what it has become than what it was originally intended. It stands now for government by contract of the people, for fundamental law, for the rule of law, for no taxation without representation, for due process of law, for habeas corpus, for equality before the law, for representative government, and for the rights of the criminally accused.…

    African enslavement in the United States is easily the dumbest, vilest, and most inhumane concept ever constructed. The actuality that slavery occurred without a kink for so long is still incredibly inconceivable. How could one person declare that another person is less than human, and therefore create an entire institution of treating them as less than to prove that point? Where does one get that type of audacity and witlessness? One may never know the mental ideology behind the birth of US slavery but the chronological history starts in the year 1619 on a boat voyage that landed twenty captured Africans in Jamestown, VA. Slavery existed before that first boat across the Atlantic Ocean came ashore to America, but this slave trade was the first and only to use skin color as a basis of slave status so effectively. 10 to 12 million African mothers, fathers, sons and daughters survived the middle passage, a journey between their homeland across the Atlantic and onto American shores. Before they were here, Africans thought of themselves to be more than merely just Africans, but as Ibo, Akan or Wolof(7). Yes, these people had their own…

    My reading notes state “Government couldn’t take away person life, liberty, or property.” This has affected our government today because even though back then life was much tougher we still follow these rules today and now even more due to the Constitution which gives many rights. The reading when talking about the Magna Carta says “Some of these rights established a system of justice based on due process of law.” This has impacted our present government because without this we wouldn’t have the justice system we have today and the fact that we have fair trials determining if the person is guilty or innocent to determine punishment. This is why the Magna Carta was the most influential agreement to our modern…

    I feel like religion is not determined by where you go to school, but the environment around them. What a child believes in and stays with is determined by what they encounter from their family, friends, and life experiences. “The Bible makes it clear that education is to begin in the home (Gen. 18:19; Deut. 6:7; Prov. 22:6; Eph. 6:4; II Tim. 1:5; 3:15). It makes parents responsible for their children and charges them with an educational task”. I feel like no matter where a child or adult goes to school, their religious education can only be taught at home. “It’s whatever combination of public, private, or home education a child receives, the parents’ influence on a child’s mind is preeminent” (Kidd). Horace Mann “lobbied to get a common (public) school system established in our country, his main point of emphasis was the secular/sacred divide that separated religion and education into two different and isolated compartments of life” (Mann). He argued that the home and the church should teach faith, values and the school should teach facts. From experience, I have learned more about my religion from my parents, church community, and the people I associate with on a daily basis. I felt like I could show my faith in school without having to sit in a class and learn about it. It’s hard enough sitting in a desk all day learning the…
