P.O.G 2 [4]

Ideal Society

Take a look back at the time you studied the constitution. All the amendments and bills seem to be just a random bunch of words. In those words our freedom and security is protected. People may try to use the constitution to their own advantage. That leads me to tell you, citizens must fight for their own rights. For example, the Miller vs. Young case, Miller’s arrest, and the president’s offenses. As our class experienced in our previous Ideal Society, people will try to limit our freedom.

Let me introduce you to President Young. President Young took the authority to have Shay sent to jail because she threatened to “blow up the white house”. Although the Constitution clearly states in Amendment 1; “all Americans have the freedom of speech, freedom to protest and freedom of press. If we have the freedom to protest what gives Young the right to take that authority? The citizens in the ideal society slowly but surely began to fight for their own rights.

Next, I’ll let you in on the president’s faults. The president in our society committed an impeachable offense. He threatened citizens and attacked a fellow Congressman. Thinking it was unnecessary the Congress threw all of the questioning away. Remembering the sentence of Shay, you have to question; “Why is it that the president does not get any punishment for his offense but Shay has been in jail for a “threat”?

The Supreme Court was alarmed by Miller’s lawyer. She made the decision with Millers consent to take Young to court. Using Article 3 of the Constitution “the courts can settle disputes between the U.S. government and it’s citizens” The courts decided to uphold the 1st Amendment rights. The justices ruled in favor of Miller because the Amendment protected Americans rights to openly protest the government. Furthermore the decision reinstated our First Amendment rights.

In conclusion, the Constitution does affectively resolve conflict. From past ideal experiences observation will lead you that people including the government will try to limit our freedom. Bringing an i-chip into the picture could bring chaos into our country. With the constitution here to save the day you’ll be safe. Maybe just maybe you should think twice before bringing an I-chip into your country.
