America was founded on the belief that all men (people) should have equal rights. This was not true for another eighty years‚ when President Abraham Lincoln put the Emancipation Proclamation into effect. And still‚ over one hundred fifty years later‚ this is not true. People are being refused from jobs and schools due to their gender or race.

What the United States Learned from the Vietnam War The United States made lots of mistakes in Vietnam. It stayed too long in the war‚ it failed to gather intelligence that could have saved lives‚ and we made rash decisions regarding the public’s reaction to us being there. The United States‚ at the most part‚ ignored these lessons as we continued some years later to invade Iraq and Afghanistan.

Legitimacy enables a state to depend not on shear force or coercion‚ rather the idea of consent of the governed. Consent of the governed is a principle that goes back to the English philosopher John Locke‚ stating that a government’s legitimacy and moral right to use state power is justified and legal when it is consented by the people or society that the power is being exercised over.
