Right to Alter or Abolish Period 5 by tevans https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos The Declaration of Independence Ideals Being Tested en-us 2022-04-26 18:12:28 UTC 2022-05-02 02:28:58 UTC hello@padlet.com Declaration of Independence Principles Tested CHZ2MTR https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159041859 Declaration of Independence states that the people have a right to “alter or abolish” government  when it does not meet their needs. 

Shays wanted to alter government because it was not meeting the citizens’ needs. The government did not pay him for his service and now they wanted to take his land away because he couldn’t pay his taxes. 

Today, we see protests in the United States for rights for equality, to change government and for our climate. We had a group, on January 6, 2021,that wanted to alter or abolish the government. The day started as a protest and ended in an insurrection by the group wanting to change what they believe was a fraudulent presidential election. The group wanted to stop the vote by the Electoral College. 

What is your perspective on Americans altering or abolishing their government by protesting?

An example of this is when the shooting at perkland high school they ralyed and spred their cause to make change within the laws and the govornment.

The citizens being governed by a government that is not meeting their needs or standards should be allowed to change it. In the American Revolution they had to fight a huge for just to change their government. The colonist were not happy with King Gorge the lll because he was not a good leader. The colonist decided they would fight back against him but in the new way of government, the people could just vote on how they want to change it instead of a big war.

I think this because if the government has weakened enough to be in need of altering or abolishing we should be able to protest and show how we feel. Our freedom of speech lets us say our opinions and stand up for what we believe in. If we believe that the government should be abolished or altered we should be able to protest about it. ]]> 2022-04-26 20:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159236807 Andrew Kim kima712_1 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159237312 I believe this should be something that people should do. As time moves on priorities and standards change, and we shouldn't be the only ones that change, the government should too. If we keep abiding by a rigid book of laws and rights written by men over a hundred years ago, don't you think that many of their thoughts, ideas, or actions might be a little outdated? We as a changing society should also change our government and laws as the majority see fit. Following a bunch of rules written far in the past should not be the way we should live, we should follow and change the laws that would benefit our nation as a whole.]]> 2022-04-26 20:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159237312 Sophia Fuentes fuentess578 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159237729 Americans trying to alter or abolish their government by protesting should be allowed as long as it's not harming anyone. It should be allowed because the first amendment is about freedom of speech which is allowing the people to have a voice. Since, democracy is rule by the people, if the people have a voice and say their opinions it can prevent the government from having too much power and making decisions based off what could benefit them instead of what can benefit them and the people.]]> 2022-04-26 20:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159237729 What is your perspective on Americans trying to alter or abolish their government by protesting? girouxl571 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159238895 I agree Americans should be allowed to alter or abolish the government. Altering or abolishing the government ideas were created so that the governments would not have to much power and become like another King George, and so that way everyone would be heard not just the government and this should be allowed today because without it no one would be heard. An example of this is in Shay's Rebellion the farmers did not get there voices heard about the taxes until they stood up and said something which lead to the thirteen states to compromise and change the law so that way they would not worry about being another king George. ]]> 2022-04-26 20:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159238895 Ellie Gerran gerrane694 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159238914 American should be allowed to alter or abolish their government by protesting.

Protests are one of the best ways to spread your message and make yourself clear. This is how the government will listen to you, and probably change. In my opinion, there are other ways to make a change in the government but protests are how more people will pay attention and help. They should be allowed to do this because it is our first amendment right such as freedom of speech. For example, people use protests today to create change in equal rights. So far the protests have helped and the government has noticed. ]]> 2022-04-26 20:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159241019 Americans trying to alter or abolish their government by protesting castroclai549 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159242359 Should be allowed because it gives the people the right to stand up for what they think is right or what's going wrong. Altering or abolishing ideas were created so that the government doesn't have so much more power than the people. It makes sure that we as citizens have a voice and can speak out on our ideas. So yes I think it should be allowed to alter or abolish the government by protesting.]]> 2022-04-26 20:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159242359 What is your perspective on Americans altering or abolishing their government by protesting? traska325 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159243533 I agree with Americans trying to alter or abolish their government by protesting and think this should be allowed because one of the core values of the United States' government and society is freedom of speech, which I agree with and think everyone should have a right to. Although I do not agree with the use of violent protests to change the government, I think every person has the right to peacefully protest and alter their government since each citizen needs to feel content with how a society or country is working, especially since freedom of speech is a part of the Constitution in this country. Altering or abolishing the government was created for the citizens of a country to live happily and not be worried about their government. Abolishing or altering a government should be allowed today because every American has a right to and needs to feel content. An example of this was when the American colonists protested against Parliament and King George III because they believed that the English government was infringing on their rights. Once the Americans rebelled, they were eventually able to lead better lives.]]> 2022-04-26 20:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159243533 What is your perspective on Americans altering or abolishing their government by protesting? rugnettaj040 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159244128 I agree that Americans altering/abolishing the government by protest is a very strong way to form a great nation. I realize that if there were no protests that created change then the founding father's work would just be wasted. The founding fathers created a principle for this country that showed the people make the rules and the people run the government. A United nation that did not have everyone working together to create change would not be "United". Protests in the nation are a strong way to create an idea and prove that the people will fight for their country. The people altering/abolishing government actions take into new perspectives and creates a fair and well-balanced country.

The idea of altering or abolishing the government was created so the government doesn't hold so much power and should be allowed today so the people have a voice as well by protesting. An example of this is the shooting at Parkland high school when the surviving students made posters to show their concerns about gun laws and when they posted them on the media to spread it out to a bigger audience. By doing all of that they were able to change the gun law.]]> 2022-04-26 20:46:28 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159246300 What is your perspective on Americans trying to alter or abolish their government by protesting? munozhernaf464 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159247667 I agree that American's should be able to express their freedom of speech by protesting and sharing their opinions, as long as they're not hurting anyone. Since the government is based off of the people and democracy it should be an option and fair for citizens to want to alter or abolish their government. Especially if the government is being unreasonable and mistreating the citizen's. ]]> 2022-04-26 20:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159247667 Maile Kotol- What is your perspective on Americans altering or abolishing their government by protesting? kotolm696 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159250905 I think that we should be allowed this right. It guarantees the people a right in government and allows for rules to be changed when times are changing as well. Not only this but it also helps to make sure that what happened with the British government doesn't happen to us again. It allows for the people to protest for the change and start fresh without the need for war. But we should stay nonviolent and trust that our rights will allow for the government to listen and respect our opinions. Instead of tainting them with riots.]]> 2022-04-26 20:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159250905 Carly Gonzalez gonzalezc595 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159251766 When change is needed it is our right to alter by using our first amendment .

I think this is because not only is it fair, but the whole point of a democracy is for people to have a voice and protesting for change is one of the best ways for citizens to create change. An example of how this can be really helpful to society is because by protesting you can share your opinion with many and influence others or just give them a different perspective or viewpoint of the situation.

Altering or abolishing the government ideas were created so that we could change things so it meets our needs and should be allowed today because it helps everyone have a voice. Protesting is a good way to get a message out fast. If the government isn't supporting your needs, you can change it. An example of this is when the colonists decided to step out from under King George. They made the choice that the government wasn't right for them and they abolished it. ]]> 2022-04-26 20:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159255261 Jhoana ruiz- What is your perspective on Americans altering or abolishing their government by protesting? ruizj639 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/3vyqtgvx9jwtgeos/wish/2159258156 My perspectives I think Americans should be allowed to alter or abolish their government. We have the right to alter. For example we have the freedom of speech and we should this freedom of speech in order to be heard. We should be heard so our government doesn't over power us.
