Dissent in America


How does the Constitution protect our right to dissent? The constitution protects our right to dissent because the 10 amendment said that the law supposes to protect the citizens of America. It’s their duty to protect us in everyway as possible. That’s why we have Security in out lives.

What are the limits to dissent?
The limits to dissent are different types of aspects that people focus on such as Public service, security, prevention of violence, prevention of threat. If they don’t protect the people of the United States this country would be a disaster, its important that they protect the people.

3. Peace
Peace is something that presently in this world we don't have. It all came about when two or more countires would go to war. And the countries would fight for different things whether it would be natural resources that the other countries has or it could be the people in it that needs to be control such as the government is in need for help. According to the site when the army lacks soldiers they usually draft college students into the army and that can cause strike.

a. Explain how people used their 1 st Amendment rights to protest.
People used their 1 st Amendment to express their right of freedom of speech. When people protest they get a chance to say what they want to say without any consequences. Unlike some countries you do not have the right of speech.

b. Describe what successes and failures have they had?
Protesting in the Unites States has make a big differences, for example women rights. This is when the women in the 1900s did not had a chance to vote for the next President or had a right to say anything. Some failures are when the teachers of course, protest for higher pay and they still do not receive any.
