The document argues against proposed assault weapon bans by citing the Second Amendment right to bear arms. It notes that assault weapons like the Ruger Mini 14 are commonly owned, and that the Supreme Court has ruled that civilians have a right to keep arms for self-defense. While certain weapons could be regulated, an outright ban may infringe on peoples' constitutional rights and would not address the root causes of violence.

Radical Reconstruction imposed military occupation in the South and required new state constitutions guaranteeing voting rights for all men. The Radical Republicans who controlled Congress tried to limit President Johnson's power by passing the Tenure of Office Act and impeaching him when he fired Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, though he was acquitted by one vote. Freedmen's bureaus provided aid to former slaves, while the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments abolished slavery and guaranteed citizenship and voting rights in an attempt to integrate freed slaves into society.
President nixon impeached 1974
President Nixon was in the process of being impeached for his involvement in covering up the Watergate burglary. The impeachment was approved by the Supreme Court and being voted on in the House of Representatives. However, Nixon resigned from office before the impeachment could be completed. While Nixon's resignation meant he was not officially impeached, the threat of impeachment was enough to force him to resign from the presidency, demonstrating the power of the legislative branch to hold the executive branch accountable.
Watergate notes
Richard Nixon was elected president in 1968 and re-elected in a landslide in 1972. However, in June 1972 five men were arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate office complex. This began the Watergate scandal that eventually led to Nixon's resignation. Investigations by the Senate committee and a special prosecutor revealed Nixon's involvement in the cover-up of White House connections to the burglary. As more information came out through hearings and subpoenaed tapes, Nixon lost public and political support. He resigned in August 1974 before the House could impeach him to avoid almost certain removal from office.
human rights and security forces
Human rights are inherent to all humans, regardless of attributes, and include rights to life, liberty, freedom from slavery, and more. The UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. India's 1950 constitution secured justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity for all citizens and included fundamental rights like equality, freedom of religion, and constitutional remedies. While security forces have powers like arrest and search without warrant against anti-national elements, they must respect human rights and not use excessive force or detain people longer than necessary. There is a debate around balancing the human rights of civilians and security forces performing their duties.

It involved President Richard Nixon's administration attempting to cover up a burglary at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate building. Investigative journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncovered details of the scandal, which eventually led to Nixon's resignation in 1974, making him the first president to resign from office. The scandal showed extensive corruption and abuse of power by Nixon and his aides to spy on political opponents, and changed expectations of government transparency and accountability.
US History Ch. 21 Section 2 Notes
The women's rights movement arose in the 1960s as women examined their roles and sought greater equality. Led by Betty Friedan's book The Feminine Mystique, the movement sought to end discrimination against women through the National Organization for Women and passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. While the ERA failed, the movement succeeded in legalizing abortion with Roe v. Wade and banning sex discrimination in education and the workplace. By the 1970s, these efforts led to more legal rights and opportunities for women, though pay gaps remained, and the movement continued to transform American society.

Reconstruction
After the Civil War, the South was devastated and its economy had to be rebuilt without slavery. Reconstruction efforts aimed to reunite the nation and protect the rights of freed slaves, but these efforts faced opposition. The 14th and 15th Amendments granted citizenship and voting rights to African Americans, while the Freedmen's Bureau provided aid to former slaves. However, racist groups like the Ku Klux Klan terrorized blacks, and Jim Crow laws later enforced segregation and disenfranchisement.

I 5 the red scare
Senator Joseph McCarthy led the Red Scare in the late 1940s and early 1950s, claiming to have a list of 205 communists in the US State Department. He used his position as head of the House Committee on Un-American Activities to investigate many Americans for being communists.

Gun Control
There have been past attempts to implement gun control laws but they have not been very effective. Changes to gun laws will be difficult due to opposing views between Democrats and Republicans. Gun violence in the US is significantly higher than in other countries with stricter gun control laws like Canada and Japan. A 1939 Supreme Court case established that the Second Amendment protects weapons that have a reasonable relationship to a militia.
Emory_SocialMedCourse9.ppt
This document discusses the impacts of war on public health and human rights from historical and contemporary perspectives. It covers topics such as the consequences of war including civilian casualties, impacts on vulnerable groups like women and children, violations of international humanitarian law through acts like genocide and war crimes, and the health effects of weapons including landmines. The document provides statistics on deaths and injuries from past wars and current armed conflicts and examines how resources spent on war could otherwise fund health and development programs.
Mm ch 14 media law
This chapter discusses the history and current state of media law regarding freedom of expression. It covers the development of free speech philosophy from John Milton in 1644 to protections established in the US Constitution. Early laws like the Sedition Acts restricted criticism of government. The Zenger trial established truth as a defense against sedition charges. Current issues around intellectual property, privacy, libel and newsgathering are analyzed, as well as controversies around censorship and conflicting rights like free press versus right to a fair trial.
Hr bw
The document discusses the nature and scope of human rights at different levels. It outlines the formal expressions of human rights through documents like the Magna Carta, US Constitution, and Declaration of the Rights of Man. It also describes the goals of international human rights instruments to set principles/standards, strengthen national systems, and monitor state compliance. The key human rights principles are described as universal, indivisible, and interdependent.
Human rights for war victims
This document discusses human rights and war victims. It begins by introducing that war and human rights are inherently in conflict, though there are international laws intended to protect rights during wartime. It then defines human rights and describes who can be considered war victims, primarily civilians. The main body examines how various human rights are regularly violated during wartime, such as the rights to life and freedom from torture. It also reviews international laws and organizations working to support war victims' rights.
THE-1987-CONSTITUTION-OF-THE-REPUBLIC-OF-THE-copy.pdf
The document summarizes sections 3 and 4 of the Philippine Bill of Rights. Section 3 discusses the right to privacy of communication and correspondence, with exceptions for lawful court orders or issues of public safety. Any evidence obtained in violation of these privacy rights is inadmissible. Section 4 protects freedom of speech, expression, press, and the rights to peaceably assemble and petition the government. The presentation discusses the meaning and limitations of these rights, including prohibitions against libel, threats, and incitement of violence. The purpose of these rights is to allow the expression of ideas that can further society's development and self-realization.
Gun control in the us
The document discusses gun control in the U.S., outlining the Second Amendment right to bear arms, how to legally obtain guns in different states like Denver and New York, and victims of gun violence including high profile assassinations and mass shootings. It also explains the difficulty of amending the U.S. Constitution and some executive actions taken by President Obama to strengthen background checks and improve mental health resources, though congressional support and broader cultural acceptance remain challenges.
Democrat or Republican-Gun Rights 1-81
The document discusses differing views on gun control between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats generally favor stronger gun control laws such as universal background checks, assault weapons bans, and restrictions on high-capacity magazines. Republicans generally oppose further gun control as unconstitutional and argue it will not prevent crime while punishing law-abiding gun owners. The document also examines debates around the meaning and scope of the Second Amendment.
Rwanda
The document discusses the 1994 Rwandan genocide where Hutu extremists killed hundreds of thousands of Tutsi people over the course of around 100 days. Weapons initially used included grenades and handguns but then shifted to machetes, knives, and other bludgeoning weapons as bullets became too expensive. Gun control laws were already in place in Rwanda prior to the genocide. The document argues that stricter gun control promoted the genocide by disarming civilians and preventing them from defending themselves, while general civilian gun ownership may have prevented the mass killing.
Pollock ethics 8e_ch14
This document summarizes key concepts around making ethical choices related to criminal justice, terrorism, and war. It discusses debates around just war, responses to terrorism, and ethical justifications for limiting civil liberties and using torture. Specifically, it contrasts crime control and utilitarian approaches that emphasize ends over means with rights-based standards that emphasize due process and inalienable rights. Examples are provided of controversial policies and practices implemented after 9/11 and their impacts on privacy, detention, and surveillance. Ethical dilemmas around coercing confessions and "dirty Harry" reasoning are also examined.
Udhr
The document summarizes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948 in response to World War 2. It recognizes 30 fundamental human rights and freedoms that all people are inherently entitled to as human beings, including the rights to life, liberty, freedom from slavery and torture. The Declaration has served as the foundation for international and national laws protecting human rights around the world.
Chapter 14
This document discusses ethical issues related to criminal justice, national security, and war. It covers topics such as just war theory, responses to terrorism, the Patriot Act, government secrecy, torture, and balancing crime control with civil liberties. Key points addressed include debates around the ethics of war and limiting rights in the name of security. The tension between utilitarian justifications and protecting civil rights and legal processes is a recurring theme.
