WORKERS RIGHTS:
The haymarket strike was a reflection of the time and the people were completely justified to go on strike and fight for their rights to have a fair and good job with conditions that were atleast a little bit better then deplorable. Strikes are a good way to get the attention of a boss and thats what this strike did..infact it gained national attention with the bloody battle that insued after the workes went on strike.

WOMENS RIGHTS:
the right to vote did alot to further womens rights but it wasent everything..durring the 1920s times were difficult for women and they needed to be treated more fairly! women were discriminated against and were not considerd to be a full person.

I HAVE A DREAM:
Dr. MLK Jr's speech was a key part of the movement for equality of black Americans...without him it is very likely that we as a nation would not be as far along as we are today. His "I have a dream speech" was crucial to the advancement of black Americans and it did wonders to liberate the Blacks that have been repressed for hundreds of years.

Mr. President,

I am in agreement with your plan fully, something needs to be done in Afghanastan in regards with a troop surge to combat the rise in violence. I believe that sending 34,000 troops over the next couple months is the way to push back the Tali Ban and their recent "success" in putting up a fight against us. A large scale deployment of thousands of troops is exactly what we need in order to defeat the opposing forces and be successful in our over seas endevors. A more concreat plan would be much appreciated however, troops are tired of waiting to be deployed and the mission needs to be completed in a timely manner.

COMMON SENSE
Thomas Paine
The title very clearly conveys what this paper shows and thats common sense, this paper layed the foundation for government as we know it today. He stood up against the Tirane and taxes that plagued this young new land and proved to the colonists that the monarchy was a evil dictatorship that only cared about the royalty and land over the common man and a quality life for all. This document in my opinion is one of the most important documents in this country's history and with out thomas paine this country would not be the same. He had the courage to step up against the mother country and do what was right for the common good

I feel like the evidence is overwhelming that Thomas Jefferson took some of his ideas and supporting principles from some previous recordings of John Locke. the original immigrants came to this nation to free themselves from tirany and john locke was at the fore front of this; so fast forward about 100 years the battle has been waged and thomas jefferson is merely carrying out the ideas and plans of locke and his generation.
THE SECON TRETIS OF CIVIL GOVERNMENT: "Add Videohttp://www.constitution.org/jl/2ndtr02.txt" THE STATE OF NATURE, ACCORDING TO LOCK ALL ACCTIONS ARE RECIPROCAL AND WHAT GOES AROUND WILL CO ME AROUND. I TEND TO AGREE WITH THIS POINT OF VIEW BUT I DONT THINK IT IS PLAUSABLE FOR A SOCIETY TO FUNCTION. I WOULD NOT LIKE TO LIVE IN THIS STATE OF NATURE BECAUSE OF THE FEAR..THE GOVERNMENT IS PROTECTION FOR THE EVERYDAY MAN. FROM THE BEGINING AMERICA WAS FORMED ON THE IDEAS OF LAWS AND RULES THAT WERE PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT MAN FORM EACHOTHER AND CREATE A SOCIETY FREE FROM ANARCHY. I BELIEVE THAT A SOCIETY FREE FROM ANARCHY IS A SOCIETY ON ITS WAY TO BECOMING A GOOD SOCIETY NOT BASED ON FEAR AND TERROR. OUR GOVERNMENT TODAY IS WITHOUT A TIRANY THANKS TO THE EVENTS THAT LEAD TO THE CREATION TO OF THIS COUNTRY AND NOW WE HAVE A GOVERNMENT THAT IS AS CLOSE TO PERFECT AS ANY OTHER NATION IS. WE ARE LEAPS AND BOUNDS AHEAD OF OTHER SOCITIES THANKS TO GOVERNMENT BUT IN NO WAY ARE PERFECT AND WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO
