... as the framers believed Britain’s government had become. If the Bill of Rights is considered, more supporting ideas become evident. The First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom could have been influenced by the colonial tradition of relative religious freedom. This tradition was clear even in the early colonies, like Plymouth, which was formed by Puritan dissenters from England seeking religious freedom. Roger Williams, the proprietor of Rhode Island, probably made an even larger contribution to this tradition by advocating and allowing complete religious freedom. William Penn also contributed to this idea in Pennsylvania, where the Quakers were to ...
... If you hook two VCR's together, they can copy from one to the other. You could rent a movie form the video store, copy and return it, with no one the wiser. The problem with copying video and audio tapes is that for every copy you make the recording artist, the actors, producers and everyone else who collect royalties from the tapes lose money. If the companies start to lose money, they raise prices. Thus a vicious circle begins. As prices go up, fewer people buy original copies. If less people buy the original cassettes prices will once again rise. Another major form of piracy is plagiarism. The stealing of someone elses ideas or work. The ...
... burglary, assault, or murder¡¨ (Silverstein 11). Juveniles are committing these crimes against families, classmates, and strangers. In many states, a juvenile is any one under the age of eighteen. Young offenders commit these crimes because they feel neglected, that no one cares, and this is a way to get attention. However, professional¡¦s say that juvenile offenders commit these crimes due to being abused or even ignored as a child (Valentine). Telling a parent to not ignore, punish, or leave your child home alone or your child could grow to become a criminal, seems severe. Why don¡¦t we just tell them how to raise their children? We as a society can n ...

... was the most powerful and well organized of all Italian criminal groups. “Like a cancer, the Sicilian approach to crime was metastasizing, sending out its aberrant cells to colonize social tissues elsewhere, especially in the United States” (True Crime). Immigration to the United States, from Italy, began around 1870. “ Of the approximately 5.3 million that have followed, approximately 25 percent came from Sicily” (Italian 4). The mass immigration took place for many reasons. Many wanted to move because of poverty and rampant inflation. Others wanted to move because of social and economic immobility. Another reason for immigration to the United Stat ...
... Asia. It was from Pakistan's Air Bases, basically from the Frontier region, that US spy planes used to operate their missions.

During the first century of the First Amendment, the First Amendment was paid a glance by all when it came to actually carrying out the freedoms guaranteed by this amendment. For example, in 1794, Pennsylvanian backcountry farmers protested a whiskey tax. The protesters were not violent such as those of the previo ...
