South Carolina's Argumentative Analysis
South Carolina's very first openly gay legislature comes from the most improbable of homes, where a conservative part of the state has the Christian Fundamentalist School Bob Jones University. The republican representative, Jason Elliot, the first openly gay divorce attorney in south Carolina says his sexual orientation is unimportant in the role he plays working at the statehouse. He says his focus will be set on improving education, increasing jobs, and repairing and up keeping the states derelict roads and bridges. He also states "Every South Carolinian has equal rights, not special rights, and i believe each part of the constitution is equally important," He goes on to elaborate "In south Carolina, that means respecting other peoples viewpoints

    In 1856 a law was passed that Kansas and Nebraska were able to vote on whether or not or not to be a slave state. Kansas was the first to get all their votes in and it ultimately ended up being a slave state. John Brown and the anti-slavery advocates did not like the results of Kansas now being a slave state. In response to Kansas being a slave state they made a “Lawrence Kansas” which is ultimately a free-settlement in the territory of Kansas. Pro-slavery advocates did not like that they did this so they went to Lawrence Kansas and burnt the town to the ground. John Brown and his anti-slavery advocates despised that they did this to innocent people. So, he got revenge for the burning of the city by killing five pro-slavery supporters next…

    If I would to be a Hollywood producer and if I remade this for a 21st century speaker, I would use a celebrity person named Miranda Crosgrow cast as a speaker, and I would set the scene in San Diego, California. The reason why I would put it in San Diego, California, is because it is very nice there and there is a lot of people to be found there that can be useful for a lot of things. There are Celebrities there as well. It is just a good city overall since it’s in California anyways, where there is good weather, a good scenery is always good.

William Sassman is a male prisoner in the California Department of Corrections (CDCR). He applies for the Alternative Custody Program (ACP), which allows low-level offenders to reunite with their families early. Sassman, a father of two and a mother dying of colon cancer applies for ACP. He is denied by the CDCR solely on the fact that he is male. Jerry Brown writes this discrimination into law.

    Our time has finally arrived, President Lincoln has finally got the Homestead Act passed, and it will be great for this country that Congress is granting land owned by the federal government proving farmers with the opportunity to own land out west. We need to ensure our stockpile of gold reserve is on hand; because we don’t need any setbacks with the currency: we must have the ability to provide loans to these farmers and former freed slaves. (The Homestead was widely successful because it helped the west develop as a consequence of the Federal government awarding more than 15,000 loans in the 1860s and eventually over one million to date.) We supported our congressmen with wine and dine; meals and cash carrots, in order to get this Homestead passed. It took years for Homestead to get through Congress. That President Buchanan had the nerve to veto it in 1858. He destroyed this nation. Those southerners fought us with every tooth and nail against issuing Homestead…

    America is developing a cultural divide between the elites and the working class. The American divide is blatantly clear to the majority of Murray’s audience. The so called new divide is derived from the cultural quality. Instead of a gap dividing segments of our country because of one’s achievements or income, now there are distinctive practices widening the gap between the two Americas. Murray states the problem, providing statistics and a list of SuperZIPs, all of which support his claim. Working towards the conclusion of his argument, Murray contemptuously ignores, that what many believe to be actual solutions to this ongoing cycle: reconstructing the tax structure and "scholarships for working-class children” and further more "the new…

    Welcome to Newport, my section of the amusement park! My first attraction is a roller coaster called “Roger Williams’ Roller Coaster”. Everyone has the freedom to ride, no matter how tall or short you are! (But I recommend you to be forty-eight inches tall or higher, because if you aren't, it’s pretty unsafe). This relates to Rhode Island’s history because Rhode Island had freedom of religion instead of in this case, the freedom to be any height to ride, and Roger Williams, who founded Rhode Island, made so there was freedom of religion.…

    As the Englishmen of future Jamestown set sail, they never stopped to think about how over half of the population of the new world would die within the first few month, as stated on www.jarofquotes.com, “Despair gives courage to a coward.”. A little bit of background info might be good, so here it is. The date is the spring of 1607, as well, the places are, Chesapeake Bay, the James River, and Jamestown itself. And finally, out of the background info, before they came, the English had many fights with the Spanish. But they had good hopes for the new world. There are many interesting facts about Jamestown, a few of which are that in all the time they were in Jamestown, there was only one execution.

One night in 2007, after finishing a midterm exam, Amanda was attacked and raped when she was walking to her car.

    Because the jury issues but a mere advisory opinion and not binding upon the court, Florida’s sentencing scheme must be unconstitutional. Florida’s statute requires that a court imposing the death sentence must make a written, detailed finding. This detailed account—not the jury’s verdict—that furnishes the basis for the Supreme Court of Florida’s review. Respondent’s rely on Hildwin (1989 case that permits the judge to find aggravating circumstances that authorize the death sentence) because it has not been expressly overruled. The ideas and principles in Hildwin were thrown out with Walton, clarified in Ring, and expressly overrule today.…

    One state that should be taken into some serious consideration when it comes to film and television production is Pennsylvania. The incentives this state has to often be more than enough for production companies to take a look into. Pennsylvania has an abundance of locations to offer, rural, suburban, snow, beaches/ocean, mountains, lakes/rivers, forests, and city. As part of Pennsylvania’s incentive program, they do not have a sunset date, meaning that legislation does not vote on whether or not to keep the incentive program in its state. This is already a bonus for production companies to take into major consideration and not have to worry if they can keep or even stay in the state. The incentive from Pennsylvania is that they have a 25%-30%…
