Charters of FreedomDeclaration of Independence Constitution Bill of Rights

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self eviden‐ t, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.‐‐That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That ‐‐whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government

We the People of the United States, in Order to form amore perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domesticTranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed adesire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added.

Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

TAKIN’ CARE OF BUSINESS

TCBTCB

Can I quote you on that?American Imperialism Progressive Era World War I World War II Civil Rights Movement

“But today we are raising more thanwe can consume. Today we are making more than we can use…There are more workers than there is work. We do not need more money – we need more circulation, more employment. Therefore, we must find new markets for our produce, new occupation for our capital, new work for our labor…” – Senator Albert J. Beveridge, 1898

How does this passage relate to the topic of American Imperialism?

What might someone say if they opposed the point o‐ f view‐ in the above passage?

“…In the barrels would be dirt andrust and old nails and stale water— and cartload after cartload of it would be taken up and dumped into the hoppers with fresh meat, and sent out to the public's breakfast. Some of it they would make into "smoked" sausage—but as the smoking took time, and was therefore expensive; they would call upon their chemistry department, and preserve it with borax and color it with gelatin to make it brown. All of their sausage came out of the same bowl, but when they came to wrap it they would stamp some of it "special," and for this they would charge two cents more a pound.” – The Jungle, Upton Sinclair

What impact did this book have onAmerican society?

#14: “A general association ofnations must be formed.” – Woodrow Wilson’s 14 Points

“I object in the strongest possible way to having the United States agree, directly or indirectly, to be controlled by a league [of nations] which may at any time…,be drawn in to deal with internal conflicts inother countries…We should never allow the United States to be involved in any internal conflict in another country.” – Senator Henry Cabot Lodge

In your own words…

How are these documents related to the words – isolationism and neutrality?

“…The Director of the WarRelocation Authority is authorized and directed to formulate an effectuate [implement] a program for the removal, from the areas designated from time to time by the Secretary of War or appropriate military commander under the authority of Executive Order No.9066 of February 19, 1942, of the persons or classes of persons designated under such Executive Order, and for their relocation, maintenance, and supervision…” – Executive Order 9102, 1942

In your own words…

What constitutional issues are raised by the passage of Executive Order 9066?

“One may want to ask: ‘How can youadvocate breaking some laws and obeying others?’ The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.I would agree with St. Augustine that "an unjust law is no law at all.” – Letter from Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King Jr.

In your own words…

What impact did this letter have on the Civil Rights Movement?
