The explanation of Justice Fortas’ argument/decision in the majority opinion for <em>Tinker V. Des Moines </em>is that free speech in schools was protected by the American Constitution.

He was of the opinion that free speech in schools was protected by the American Constitution and his argument/decision based on the majority decision that was 7-2 in favor is explained below.

<h3>What was Justice Fortas' Argument?</h3>

This refers to the constitutionally backed protection of free speech and after it was initially decided that the school students were causing school disturbances, he disagreed.

Hence, we can see that although there have been cases of school/public disturbances that were caused by free speech, and in such cases, free speech was restricted temporarily, the Tinker V. Des Moines case was not one of them.

This was his prerogative as he ruled in favor that free speech in schools was protected by the American Constitution.

Describe piggy, Ralph , and jack in the lord of flies!!!!

Brrunno [24]

Ralph is the athletic, charismatic protagonist of Lord of the Flies.

The strong-willed, ego maniacal Jack is the novel’s primary representative of the instinct of savagery, violence, and the desire for power—in short, the antithesis of Ralph.

An overweight, intellectual, and talkative boy, Piggy is the brains behind many of Ralph’s successful ideas and innovations, such as using the conch to call meetings and building shelters for the group.

The rules exist to limit the individuality and freedom of the citizens. Their purpose is to discourage rebellious behavior, therefore eliminating all free will. The society Equality envisions would be absent of strict rules that take away one's sense of self. This is because Equality has been oppressed by the rules of that society his whole life and would not want his society to be like that.
