So if the times call for it, we can make the appropriate changes]]> 2017-01-10 14:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/s_tai_jones/vccreey4by6m/wish/146257095 s_tai_jones https://padlet.com/s_tai_jones/vccreey4by6m/wish/146264658 Dred Scott was a slave living in Missouri. His owner took him to Illinois and then to Minnesota, which were both free states under the Missouri Compromise. Dred Scott and his owner came back to Missouri, and was sold to Sanford. Dred Scott sued Sanford for his freedom, claiming to be a citizen of Missouri, based on having obtained freedom by domicile for a long time in a free state.
       The conflict was Can a slave be considered a citizen and become entitled to all the rights granted to citizens under the Constitution? The Court had a 7-2 in favor of the slave owner. Every justice submitted an individual opinion justifying his position, including Chief justice Taney. According to the Chief Justice, African Americans, slave or free, were not citizens. As a slave, Scott was property and had no right to bring suit in federal courts.The Dred Scott decision Caused protest against the Court and the administration of President Buchanan. The justices' plans to make a final, fair ruling that would settle the controversy over slavery backfired when Republicans charged that a “Slave Power” conspiracy extended into the highest ranks of government.
After the Supreme Court's decision, Emerson's widow sold Scott and his family to the Blow family, who freed them in May, 1857.

It took many efforts  to pass the civil rights bill. Regardless of many set backs, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy pushed to get the civil rights bill passed. After Kennedy's assassination, Martin Luther King Jr. and newly inaugurated President Lyndon B. Johnson continued to push the bill until it was enacted on July 2nd.

Even though it only gave the people the right to negotiate for their leaving from areas to the east of the Mississippi river and that relocation was supposed to be permissive, all of the pressure was there to make this all but unavoidable. All the tribe leaders agreed after Jackson’s election victory in 1832. The checks and balances did not function as they were supposed to, mainly because President Andrew Jackson completely ignored the surpreme courts decision, which should have been a check on his decision.]]> 2017-01-13 01:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/s_tai_jones/vccreey4by6m/wish/146952863 s_tai_jones https://padlet.com/s_tai_jones/vccreey4by6m/wish/146954954
In the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century, abortion was allowed, but it was harder for poorer people to get the treatment and  government was able to interfere and stop them which made people question whether they had privacy or not. Roe was favored in a 7-2 decision.the majority essay states that it’s the woman’s right to decide if she wants an abortion. This is a change in federalism because the new principle is the government cannot stop or interfere with abortions during the first trimester.

The government has been able to retain stability and avoid changing too quickly because any change is a decisive process. In order for a change to occur, a certain number of people have to agree on the change. Due to this, changes are made slower, and it becomes easier to avoid premature changes.]]> 2017-01-13 02:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/s_tai_jones/vccreey4by6m/wish/146955831 s_tai_jones https://padlet.com/s_tai_jones/vccreey4by6m/wish/146956757 The ludlow amendment was a proposed amendment that was not ratified. It called for a referendum that said if you believe that america should declare war on another country, then you will be directly involved in the war and fight as a soldier. This is stable popular sovereignty because the amendment was shot down multiple times by the people and no change was made.]]> 2017-01-13 02:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/s_tai_jones/vccreey4by6m/wish/146956757 s_tai_jones https://padlet.com/s_tai_jones/vccreey4by6m/wish/146957991 The 22nd amendment set a term limit for the service of a president This is stable limited government because there is a restriction of government power, and this is one of the main ideals that America was based upon, so it is highly unlikely that this will be changed

Investigaters requested that he turn over the recordings, however, he declined, claiming he had executive Privilages and was exempt from turning over the tapes. The surpreme court later took up the case, and decided that Nixon had to turn over the tapes, and had no special privilages in this situation. This is an example of stable Checks & Balances because Even the President had to follow the laws we all follow, and limited government power.
