A.P. Civics Notes: Chapter 2 ?The Constitution? The Problem of Liberty In the decade that preceded the Revolutionary War, most American colonists believed that they could obtain certain liberties and still be a part of the British Empire, liberties such as: The right to bring cases to truly independent judges that weren?t subordinate to the king. The right to NOT have British troops quartered in private houses. The right to NOT have to pay taxes without direct Parliamentary representation. However, by the time war broke out, many colonists had lost faith in the [unwritten] British constitution, one that allowed liberties to be violated and abuse of political power to flourish.

Vaughn Stumvoll Current World Problems CBA Arizona Immigration Law The law, SB1070, has been passed in Arizona. This makes it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally, and grants police the power to stop and verify immigration status of anyone they suspect of being illegal("SENATE BILL 1070"). This new law clearly violates the U.S. Constitution in two ways. To address the issue of illegal immigration patching up the border should be more of a priority than getting illegals out of the U.S.

Rossi Castillo 02/08/11 Study Guide # 2 Political Beliefs/Behaviors Political Culture is the coherent way of thinking about how politics and government should be carried out. Its difficult to pinpoint in the USA because cultural differences affect political philosophies. Religion has always been a big role in shaping our political culure. The Culture War is a conflict animated by deep differences in people's beliefs about private and public morality. Many issues include abortion, gay rights, drug issues, school prayer, and pornography. In 1960s, the Vietnam war,1970s, the Watergate scandal, 1990s Clinton's sex scandal, all led to the mistrust in government. The main reason that the mistrust has happened was because we expect more out of Washington.
