Aliun [14]3 years ago

According to the Declaration of Independence, every human being living in the United States has the right to be free and decide its own ways in life, and than on the other hand we have the slavery, where people were enslaved, were either slaves for all of their lives or occasionally they were able to buy out their freedom, and they did not decided for their own lives but their owners. These two are the two total contrasting opposites that occurred in the American society, and they show how it is possible that from one negative extreme, the country can be reformed and functioning in another positive extreme.

Why did the United States abandon a policy of isolationism and move to one of internationalism
Nookie1986 [14]
<span>The change came before World War Two rather than after the War. President Roosevelt and his advisors concluded that the United States needed to become involved in foreign affairs in both the Atlantic and the Pacific theaters. In the Atlantic sector, the key blow was the fall of France. This meant that the only anti-Nazi power in Europe was Britain. Even though Britain managed to weather the first great crisis, the Battle of Britain, Prime Minister Churchill knew that the British could not go on without help. The British simply could not maintain sufficient manufacturing, especially of big capital projects, without assistance.  </span>

The Guantánamo detention center is a high security prison located in the Naval Base of Guantánamo Bay, located on the island of Cuba. It is an American property. Since 2002, US authorities have used it as a detention center for detainees accused of terrorism, most of them detained in Afghanistan during the invasion of this country, which followed the attacks of September 11, 2001.

The United States considers them "illegal enemy combatants" - most of them are accused of belonging to the Taliban or Al Qaeda, and not prisoners of war, so it understands that they do not have to apply the Geneva Convention and, therefore, that they can to hold them indefinitely without trial and without the right to representation of a lawyer, something that has been criticized by governments and human rights organizations around the world. The United States later admitted that, except for the members of Al Qaeda, the rest of the prisoners did. it would be protected by international conventions. Some jurists consider that the situation is in a "legal vacuum".

The first judicial decision was made on July 31, 2002. The federal judge of Columbia, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, determined that the US legal system lacked jurisdiction over persons held at Guantánamo. This ruling was ratified in March 2003 by another federal judge. In June 2004, the United States Supreme Court ruled that "the United States courts have the jurisdiction required to dispute the legality of the detention of foreign nationals captured abroad in hostile and incarcerated activities in Guantanamo Bay" and He ruled that three prisoners who had invoked their right to be tried could take their case before civil courts. However, the majority of federal judges, in whose hands is how to apply the doctrine marked by the Supreme, seconded the thesis of the Administration that It is possible to retain the "foreign combatants" indefinitely, without bringing charges against them or putting them on trial. In 2006, the Supreme Court again attacked the Pentagon's strategy, stating that organizing military tribunals for foreign prisoners of war "violates the Code of Military Justice and the Geneva Convention", and that, moreover, it is not included in any rules. The Congress, with a Republican majority at that time, reacted by passing a law that expressly covers these military courts.
