Right to Alter or Abolish Period 4 by tevans https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te The Declaration of Independence Ideals Being Tested en-us 2022-04-26 18:29:25 UTC 2022-04-28 14:15:45 UTC hello@padlet.com Declaration of Independence Principles Tested CHZ2MTR https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2159068385 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?

Altering or abolishing the government was created so that people who are starving and not having the basic rights as listed in the constitution and every amendment will not be happy and it should be allowed today because if you can not afford what allows you to get fed you can not be happy. An Example of this comes from shays rebellion where farmers who could not afford the high taxes shut down the courts and abolished the former government with ease.

I do believe that it is okey, useful and grate to protest for what is necessary and is not obtained so that one can raise their voice and be heard.
The protests or manifestations become useful when the reason has a reason has a purpose and it is understandable if it cannot become chaos since the protest or demonstration is not necessary.]]> 2022-04-27 17:55:23 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160855992 #12 Samuel Kawano kawanos543_1 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160859697 I think it is an important right to protest and also to alter or abolish our government because we are a country ruled by the people and we need to make sure that the government does not take advantage or seize total control of our country. Although I firmly believe that a violent protest is most effective I do not believe it is the best course of action to get something done. Violence shows childish and immature behavior and how low you are willing to go for your cause which can also show the urgency and need for change but it is easier to communicate and get your point across using other effective strategies to help others see what you are trying to change. Violence is not to be used frequently and only as a last resort.]]> 2022-04-27 17:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160859697 #18 Michael Montanez montanezm596 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160862919 Are people that are doing violent things make a chang?

Protests are a great way of showing what you want or want to change or even abolish. The best way to protest is by having peaceful protests, peaceful protests are protests but very calm and respectful. This is very good because destroying and breaking things isn't a great idea when protesting. It could make what you're protesting for not even be acknowledged by those who can create the change for what you're protesting for. With peaceful protesting, however, those people who can create the change for what you're protesting for could notice that you're not going around and causing riots but peacefully showing what you believe is right. They could then give you and the people what they were protesting for. ]]> 2022-04-27 18:03:34 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160868957 #9 Casey Gross starfruit_ https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160871465 Are violent protests effective?
Well yes, and no. I fully believe in the right to alter and\or abolish when needed. However, the question of should, protests get violent in the first place is a very subjective matter. I may agree with a left-Wing political protest gone violent because I'm a Leftist and Socio-Anarchist. On the other hand, I may disagree with a Right-Wing protest gone violent. And I do.
Because something like Black Lives Matter is far more important to me than some inconsiderate psychos trying to kill an elected official. I think violence is okay especially if it proves to be effective, but no matter what side you're on, it is NEVER okay to protest at the expense of another human being's life. 5 people died at the capitol riot.

Because for example, I think if people get hurt I think their right to alter or abolish should not be as heard because their hurting people and it is not right to be doing that.]]> 2022-04-27 18:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160873685 Madison Hamilton #10 hamiltonm606 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160874120 I believe that protests are a good way of showing your opinion and wanting change but I think peaceful protests are a much safer way although maybe a little bit of craziness is fine because that helps them get more attention on social media and get more people to agree with them. For example the BLM protests started getting attention when it started getting violent when it was peaceful no one really cared but then once the videos came out on social media the protests became huge and ended up making change. ]]> 2022-04-27 18:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160874120 Brianna Kelley #13 kelleyb617 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160875552 Should it be allowed to alter or abolish the government with protests? -Americans trying to alter or abolish their government by protesting should be allowed because it may help change the issue and show people another perspective on a problem. Altering or abolishing the government ideas were created so that the people could have power and a say on how they believe it should work. and should be allowed today but in a proper manner. in some way it can be beneficial because it could change how the government works and the rules that are followed however this doesn't mean that riots and dangerous acts will do the same. if anything it would make matter worse because if we want something, we have to agree on it.]]> 2022-04-27 18:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160875552 #15 Matthew Lizardi lizardim343 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160875891 I believe that violent protest make a change but not for the better. A perfect example of peaceful protesting is what MLK did he touched peoples hearts he started and was the representative of the movement. All though thinks in the past like the boston tea party and the boston massacre made change it doesn mean it should happen often because we don't want our country to turn into a warzone.

I do think protests should be safe and not have violence though because people shouldn't be getting hurt for protesting about what they feel is right. For example, during the riot at the capital, they wanted to kill the vice president but they could have found a different way to create a change than trying to kill him but sometimes a little violence is what gets people's attention because people end up seeing it online and decide to make a change. ]]> 2022-04-27 18:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160877726 # 14 Taryn Kovacevich kovacevicht529 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160878503 I think it is important for people to be able to alter or abolish certain aspects of government but to a certain consent. If there are protests they should be peaceful and not have the intention of killing someone. People should be able to alter or abolish the government because everyone should have a say so and not feel like they have to go by something that they feel is wrong or unfair. ]]> 2022-04-27 18:09:43 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160878503 #7 Mari evansm784 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160882846 What is your perspective on Americans altering or abolishing their government by protesting? It is necessary for Americans to alter or abolish their government so our government remains a democracy. It gives people the power to change our government so it benefits everyone. Without this civil right, our country would turn out like Britain, and we don't want another war. Shays's rebellion and the 2021 riot at the U.S. capital are prime examples of citizens using this civil right. These events have 1 thing in common, they got violent. In these cases, they got what they asked for, but I think it was more out of fear than respect. Just looking at some of the videos, I'm certain the government just didn't want them to get even more violent. In my opinion, I think they were abusing their right to alter or abolish. There are plenty of great examples of Peaceful protests achieving the same goal as the violent ones. In the end, the peaceful ones get more attention than the violent ones. Violence is never the answer, it just makes things messier. Do violent Protests Work? Violent Protests get the point across but most of the time not in a good way. It often changes people's views and understanding of a group's purpose. In my own experience, when the BLM movement took a violent turn, I got scared. I was fearful that many people might get hurt. The Violent Protests work, but most of the time with plenty of consequences.

It's what we as the people have the right to. Altering or abolishing the government ideas were created so that the state government couldn't take advantage of the people and should be allowed, today because violence does work most of the time or at least brings attention to the problem. An example of this is Shays's rebellion. 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. So he rounds up all the guns and They marched to the courthouse and alter it.

I think citizens should get to use their voice and speak out against what they think is a problem in our government. But i don't believe in violent protests, it can get very out of hand, they get very dangerous, and people shouldn't be getting hurt or arrested for doing what they think is right. For example in the video of the capital building being attacked, they had intentions of killing the vice president, instead they could speak out on the issues instead of breaking in to the white house.]]> 2022-04-27 18:14:04 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160885578 Jonathan Carrillo #3 carrilloj615 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160886777 i personally think that peaceful protests are the way to go, but by doing violent stuff you are catching the attention of the people, its like if a little kid wants a chocolate bar from the store and you say no, some can stay calm, but some can start crying or screaming something like that.

Violence should be something that is only used when there's no other option.

In most cases, violence can be more harmful to a movement than helpful. It gives people who oppose it reasons to do so. An example of this would be how people used BLM protests that turned violent as an excuse to not support a very needed and worthy cause.

That being said, violence can sometimes be the only way to make government officials notice a problem. In that case, violence should be done in a way that only harms people who are doing wrong and not just causing general destruction.

If you don't understand when (I think) violence is okay, apply it to a "real world" situation. if you SEE a person doing something wrong, it is perfectly okay to try and stop them. but If you have no proof a person is doing nothing wrong then you would leave them alone. Opinions are no reason to start a physical fight.]]> 2022-04-27 18:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160893008 #23 Rylie Seymour seymourr069 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160894614 I believe people should protest and even though violence can be bad it gets the word out there and it lets people know what they want and see if they can change something about it. Because they are bringing it to the attention. But not have the intention to hurt people in the protest. But by protesting Americans should be able to alter or abolish the government. By putting their voice out there. And by when people do violence it seems that it brings it to more people's attention. And people see it they get what they are trying to say.

At some extent though, violent protests shouldn't always be the way to go. There are many other ways to catch people's attention it's just violence is the fastest and easiest. Depending on the topic violent protests are sometimes more necessary. If the topic is something like BLM violent protests might have to be the way to go because if attention is not brought to the topic people will be hurt, but if the topic is something smaller(like the Capitol riot) where people aren't getting directly harmed due to the topic then violent protests are not necessary.]]> 2022-04-27 18:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2160914463 Azal Jaafar #29 jaafara758 https://padlet.com/CHZ2MTR/imhqpfmo1ufin3te/wish/2161327662 Does violent protesting make a change?
