An American theoretical physicst
It was A. Though both Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X both
worked on the goal of helping blacks in their struggle for civil rights in the United States in the 1960s,
their approach and speech was very different.
Martin was more conciliatory in his approach. He used peaceful methods and often
incorporated the teachings of the Bible.
He wanted blacks and whites to coexist with each other. Malcolm on the other hand, was very
aggressive in his approach. He was not
afraid to lash out at what he viewed was the unfair treatment that blacks were
given and encourage violent means to achieve that goal.
Dear King George III of Great Britain,
I am writing to you because you have failed as a ruler. I write only after long thought about the many issues between us. Some issues and events of the last few years include raising taxes very much.
You see, in the American colonies, we believe that the purpose of government is to have the government help us out, not us serve the government. Government should be wise. It should follow the principles of John Locke, such as natural rights and that we can form a new government if the current one is not working out. These ideas mean that you must either change your laws or leave to form a new government. The role of government in natural law is to help the citizens and not to make them pay for everything they do or say.
Unfortunately, you have not lived up to these expectations as a ruler. One example of how you have disappointed us is by raising taxes to VERY high prices. This affects our rights because we should not be taxed for things that are required to survive such as breathing. Another example is how you are decreasing our natural rights. This affects our rights because you are oppressing them. A third example is how you do not really care about your people as much as before. This affects our rights because we need to have a working government to help us.
Please remember that we did try to reason with you first. Remember when we dumped the tea into the harbor, and then we fired at your troops? Or, there was the time we sent you the declaration of independence.
Because you have failed to address our concerns, the American colonists are declaring complete independence from you and from your country, Great Britain. We are no longer part of Great Britain and from now on, we will now be completely independent from you.
Sincerely,
Your Name
Several disputes arose between President Abraham Lincoln and Congress regarding who had the responsibility to develop a Reconstruction plan for the South. According to Lincoln, the South had rebelled, not SECEDED. Therefore, he felt that as President of the United States, he alone had the authority to enforce laws and reconstruct the South. Congress viewed the South as a defeated military territory. Congress exercised POLITICAL control over such FOREIGN territories. Therefore, Congress believed that the responsibility for reconstructing the South fell to them.
