Give us the ballot, and we will no longer plead to the federal government for passage of an anti-lynching law; we will by the power of our vote write the law on the statute books of the South and bring an end to the dastardly acts of the hooded perpetrators of violence. Give us the ballot, and we will transform the salient misdeeds of bloodthirsty mobs into the calculated good deeds of orderly citizens. Give us the ballot, and we will fill our legislative halls with men of goodwill and send to the sacred halls of Congress men who will not sign a “Southern Manifesto” because of their devotion to the manifesto of justice. Give us the ballot, and we will place judges on the benches of the South who will do justly and love mercy, and we will place at the head of the southern states governors who will, who have felt not only the tang of the human, but the glow of the Divine. Give us the ballot, and we will quietly and nonviolently, without rancor or bitterness, implement the Supreme Court’s decision of May seventeenth, 1954.” "Give Us the Ballot (Links to an external site.)” was delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr at the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom on May 17, 1957, in Washington. D.C. Introduction We just passed the first anniversary of the January 6th insurrection, where domestic terrorists sought to overthrow the November 2020 election and decertify votes of mostly historically excluded groups (HEG’s) or those originally left out of the Constitution. Some of the insurrectionists were seen wearing anti-Semitic attire and insignia affiliated with white supremacist groups. Dr. Robert Pape from the University of Chicago analyzed the demographics of 377 alleged insurrectionists who were arrested. His report (Links to an external site.) found that those arrested came from communities with a decreased population of White people and an increase in diverse populations. Dr. Pape noted, “We’re finding evidence that the key driver is fear that rights of Hispanic people and Black people are outpacing the rights of white people.” The FBI (Links to an external site.) has issued several warnings on the increase in “domestic terrorism” and white supremacy in America ...

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. §§ 1973–1973aa-6) was a landmark piece of federal legislation in the United States that outlawed discriminatory voting practices that had been responsible for the widespread disenfranchisement of African Americans. The Act prohibited states from using prerequisites or qualifications to prevent people who were eligible from voting. Specifically, Congress intended the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to outlaw the practice of requiring otherwise qualified voters to pass literacy tests in order to register to vote, a principal means by which southern states had prevented African Americans from voting. For this assignment, write a 700-word paper in which you complete the following: Explain why the federal government passed the Voting Rights Act. Evaluate the impact of the Voting Rights Act on political participation and voter turnout. (You might wish to study voter turnout statistics.) Discuss how current challenges to the Act (for example, Shelby County v. Holder ) have affected the legislation. Discuss whether there have been any new (within the last 25 years) threats to voting rights .

The United States is experiencing disruptive politics, as promised by the Republican Party and President Donald Trump. The Republican Party possesses comfortable majorities in the US House (241/194) and US Senate (52/48), the presidency, a majority of US Supreme Court judges, and 32 state legislatures. With this strong mandate for change offered by the electorate in 2016, Republicans seek to reduce or eliminate tax, regulatory, health care, environmental policies; build a wall along the southern border, "drain the swamp" of lobbyists and insider interests, and more to fulfill campaign promises. Mr. Trump has brought to the presidency unconventional ideas about governing and the role of government in society. Having registered as both Democrat and Republican at different points in his life, his leadership style has not won over all congressional Republicans. Additionally, with an administration mired in an assortment of controversies surrounding Russian interference in the 2016 elections, the Republican agenda has not moved forward as much as many in the party would like. The Democrats, roundly trounced in the elections (save for the nearly 3 million more popular votes Hillary Clinton won), are playing the role of “loyal opposition” by challenging the new administration, something the Republicans did so well during the Obama years. With political partisanship at record levels—meaning little to no inter-party compromises on issues—stalemate seems to be an apt description of politics in Washington, DC these days. But isn't some degree of gridlock precisely what the separation of powers with checks and balances promotes? Even when one political party controls the branches of government, institutional limitations on the exercise of power are built into the political system. This was done at the founding of the nation in order to 1) protect wealth, and 2) promote liberty for freemen. The revolution that gave rise to the United States was not a social transforming event; rather, its focus was on establishing a new political order. The new political system created by the Constitution allows for slow, incremental, deliberative change through mechanisms that are more likely to thwart than to embrace change. This may have been an adequate response the post-Revolutionary War environment they found themselves in at the end of the 18th Century, but can it survive the rapid changes upon us today? Scholars see several disturbing trends in American government on the left and the right that contribute to the disruptions we observe today: the unprecedented use of social media by the president, his appointees, and members of Congress; gerrymandered election districts that produce overly partisan candidates; nearly unfettered money in campaigns; and elected officials who care more for their reelection than the public good. Much of what ails politics is the relatively low level of political participation (roughly 60% in 2016). Political mandates for change in publ.

I am doing a paper on Dr. Isaac Watts for my class. This paper is 9 pages total but broken down into 3 separate parts. I have already completed the first two parts. The biography and the works sections of this paper. This paper that I need wrote is about Dr. Issac Watts theology and it is only 3 pages no more or no less. Posted below are the instructions from the professor. You will need to discuss 3 of Isaac Watts major themes that explain his THEOLOGY. the professor has suggested taking a look at some of his sermons and things of the sort. This paper will need to be written in Turabian with footnotes. Identify three major themes that are distinct to the church figure, or for which he/she is widely known. For example, if writing on Martin Luther (who is a major figure and not an option for this assignment) one would need to include justification by faith alone, or if John Wesley (another option unavailable) the paper would need to include a description of Christian perfection. Use at minimum four primary and secondary sources (again, academic and peer-reviewed if it’s a secondary source). .

I am all for Golden's ideas of museums being catalysts in their respective communities. However, I pose this question to you and the rest of the class... how often do you go to a museum? How often, after having visited a museum, have you felt charged with the task to make changes in your life as well as those of others? All with art, or through being creative? If you say, not often enough, or rarely, then we may have to reconsider Golden's idealistic views of the museum. The concept of a museum being a cultural catalyst in a community is a great one, but what will it take for... movement to actually transpire in the community, with people? Ideas? Thoughts? .

Humans have benefitted from an overall warmer climate over the past millennia. However, some now voice deep concern over the possibility of human activity leading to an acceleration of a global warming trend. There are others who refute this claim of human activity being responsible for change in climate and point to how climate has always fluctuated throughout the life of planet Earth. 1) Identify exactly what kind of human activity is being charged with contributing to the warming trend. 2) What evidence is used to refute this charge. Do you think we need more evidence before taking action to reduce CO 2 emissions? Or is it better to act now to reduce CO 2 emissions? What are the possible costs and benefits of each of these two strategies? Discussion Board Grading Rubric: 1. Original posting: (8 points) Posting fully addresses the discussion board questions.
