Bill Of Rights
Be extremely Elaborate please Reminder: All Writing Assignments questions are graded as much on your elaboration and detail as it is about giving the right answer. If you can deduce from the scoring in this class, these are the critical assignments that breed success in this class. Always, explain and demonstrate your knowledge in your answers. Every writing assignment question will likely take much more than 1 or 2 paragraphs to answer. 1. What is the Bill of Rights to our U.S. Constitution? You should include a quick synopsis of the federalist and anti-federalist debate discussed in Module 3, but the bulk of the answer needs to include a description of these rights, as well as, display a distinction between these rights and “civil rights” discussed in this module. 2. Discuss the major issues involving the religious rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. What is the distinction between the First Amendment’s free exercise clause and establishment clause? Which clause do you believe has aroused the most controversy? Explain your answer by using at least one Supreme Court case to display your understanding. 3. Thoroughly evaluate the state of racial equality from the 1865 to 1965. What role did the Supreme Court play? What role did the Congress play? What role did the president play? Also, in a short conclusion, please include your thoughts on the roles of each of these branches since 1965. (Note: this is a big question, but remember to include the roles of each of the three branches of government). 4. In what ways has more recent minority groups (ie, LGBTQ, disabilities, religious minorities, etc) learned from the struggles of African Americans. In short, are there tactics or strategies that are similar to movements of African Americans, if so, how?
