The document summarizes key aspects of civil liberties and the incorporation of the Bill of Rights to apply to state laws through the 14th Amendment. It discusses how:
1) The Bill of Rights was originally intended to limit only the national government, not state laws. However, over time courts began applying Bill of Rights protections to states through the 14th Amendment.
2) The 14th Amendment prohibits states from depriving people of life, liberty or property without due process. Though initially reluctant, courts began "incorporating" specific Bill of Rights protections so states could not violate them.
3) Freedom of religion has two principles - establishment clause separating church and state, and free exercise clause allowing religious practice.
Dibert, a our established religion - journal of historical review volume 10...
This document discusses the concept of an established religion and argues that Zionism functions as a de facto established religion in the United States. It outlines the key characteristics of an established religion as having governmental support, an obligation for citizens to adhere to its beliefs, and prohibiting dissent. It then analyzes how Zionism exhibits these characteristics in the US through extensive governmental financial support, legal provisions that support Israeli aims, and control over major media that spreads Zionist propaganda and limits dissenting views. The document contends that while the US has no religion de jure, Zionism operates as a de facto established religion through these means.

American policies
The American colonization of the Philippines significantly contributed to the growth and development of the Philippine democratic government. The Philippines embraced the new provisions set by the Americans, including the Philippine Bill of 1902 which established the Philippine Commission and Supreme Court, and the Jones Law of 1906 which promised Philippine autonomy and independence. The Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act of 1909 established free trade between the Philippines and United States.

It also summarizes important cases such as Brown v. Board of Education, Roe v. Wade, Miranda v. Arizona, Gideon v. Wainwright, and Lemon v. Kurtzman.
Religion and politics
This document discusses the relationship between religion and politics. It notes that factors like a society's religious diversity, beliefs about separating public and private life, and tradition all influence this relationship. For the US, conflicts have arisen due to its diversity and debates around the public/private split. The document also outlines the history of Supreme Court cases related to the Establishment Clause, noting tensions between protecting religious pluralism and limiting it to prevent anarchy. Recent issues involve balancing religious freedom laws with preventing discrimination.
Civil Liberties & Rights
The document discusses various topics related to civil liberties and civil rights in the United States, including: key terms; the differences between civil liberties and civil rights; the incorporation of the Bill of Rights to apply to states; landmark Supreme Court cases related to freedoms of speech, press, religion and other rights; the development of civil rights for women and African Americans; and contemporary issues like affirmative action and rights for other groups.

Connectivism
This document introduces the learning theory of connectivism, which argues that learning occurs through the formation of connections within neural networks and between individuals. It describes how connectivism is suited for a digital age characterized by decentralization, democratization, and distributed knowledge. The theory emphasizes that learning resides in diversity of opinions and connections rather than in one individual. Key aspects of connectivism include pattern recognition, connecting specialized information sets, and filtering information to create coherence.

The First Amendment of the US Constitution establishes 5 basic freedoms: freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom to petition the government. It prohibits the government from making laws that infringe on these freedoms. These freedoms allow people to practice their religion freely, express their views openly, publish independent reports, gather publicly, and ask the government to address problems. However, the Supreme Court has ruled these freedoms can be curtailed if they infringe on the rights of others.
Week 12 amendments i x
The document discusses the history and context surrounding the addition of the Bill of Rights to the US Constitution in 1791. It explains that many Federalists promised to add a bill of rights during the ratification debates in order to gain support for the Constitution. James Madison drafted the first 10 amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, in response. Originally, the Bill of Rights only applied restrictions on the federal government and not state governments. Later amendments like the 14th Amendment applied the Bill of Rights to states as well through incorporation. The document provides context on the freedoms protected by the First Amendment and discusses debates around interpretations of religious freedom and the establishment clause. It also summarizes regulations and debates surrounding other rights like freedom of speech,
Chapter 19 presentation
The document provides an overview of civil liberties and rights protected by the US Constitution, including freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition. It discusses how the Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment place limitations on government to protect individual liberties, and how the Supreme Court has interpreted and ruled on cases related to these protections over time. Key topics covered include the establishment clause, limits on free speech, symbolic speech, public displays of religion, and government regulation of assemblies and protests.
Freedom of speech
The document discusses the history and text of the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of religion, speech, press, and assembly. It was enacted because smaller religious groups feared not being represented and to protect civil liberties. Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists in 1802 established the separation of church and state. Today, the First Amendment still protects controversial speech and groups like Westboro Baptist Church while also protecting a free press through cases involving the Pentagon Papers and WikiLeaks.

The progressive era
The Progressive Era was a period of social activism and political reform in the United States from the 1890s to the 1920s. It arose as a response to the vast changes brought by industrialization, such as political corruption, lack of social justice, and the dominance of large-scale business interests called "robber barons." Prominent progressive leaders included Theodore Roosevelt, who advocated for a "New Nationalism" involving trust-busting and consumer protections, and Woodrow Wilson, who pushed for a "New Freedom" with reforms like the Federal Reserve and FTC to regulate big business. Women also played a leading role in many reform movements of the time, advocating for suffrage, temperance, education, and workers'

Censorship and Media (COMM514): Session #2
This document summarizes censorship and media in the United States prior to 1920 through several key events:
- The Zenger trial in 1735 established the defense of truth in libel cases.
- The Sedition Acts of 1798 made it a crime to criticize the government and prosecuted individuals like Rep. Matthew Lyon. Thomas Jefferson opposed the acts on 10th Amendment grounds.
- Anthony Comstock's 1873 laws broadly expanded obscenity restrictions beyond just pornography to literature and art through the postal service.
- During WWI, the Espionage Act of 1917 and Sedition Act of 1918 criminalized anti-war speech and opposition to military recruitment. Congress repealed the latter in 1920.
British Influence In Canadian Government
Popular pressure played a very significant role in bringing about improved representation and greater democracy in Britain between 1830-1931. Some key points:
- The 1832 Reform Act, which modestly expanded the franchise, was a direct response to growing popular unrest and protest movements like the Swing Riots in the early 1830s. This showed the government that reform was needed to appease demands from an increasingly politically active population.
- Subsequent reforms in 1867, 1884, and 1918 all expanded the franchise further. Each was prompted by increasing demonstrations, petitions, and activism from groups like the Chartists, the women's suffrage movement, and working class organizations. Sustained popular pressure made it difficult for the government to ignore calls for change.
Religion and Politics ch5
For the first 150 years of the American republic, states primarily governed religious rights and liberties, as Congress failed to pass national laws on the topic. Most state constitutions protected liberty of conscience and free exercise of religion. While states sought to maintain religious pluralism and equality among groups, they also patronized a common public Christianity. The frontier provided an outlet for religious diversity. Starting in the 1920s, the Supreme Court began reviewing some state laws related to religion based on a standard of fundamental religious liberty.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
