History

OLEGan [10]3 years ago
5 0
A 17th-century British political philosopher who wrote extensively about legitimate government, toleration, and human understanding, among other topics. John Locke argued that all human beings have been born with some God-given rights. Because these rights are given by God, a legitimate government cannot take them away from individuals. The most important of these rights, Locke argued, are those of life, liberty, and property. Should a government use force to try to take these rights away, individuals have a legitimate right to rebel against the government and resist its aggression. Locke also argued that a legitimate government is one that has the consent of the majority of the people, and because not all people can directly participate in politics at all times, in such government power ultimately resides with people's representatives in the legislative body. At the heart of Locke's political theory stands the concept of social contract, which suggests that individuals have made a deal with the government. Based on this deal, the government secures people's life, liberty, and property. In return, citizens provide the government with taxes, and obey the laws. People's obligations toward government end, when the government fails to fulfill its obligations.

Paul [167]

The Supreme Court's decision in this case was correct. This case allowed a certain censorship and limitation for student newspapers to discuss and give their opinion. For the chaos not to occur and the solution of a problem within an educational entity, it is necessary the autonomy of the administrators of this educational establishment, and power to limit the topics that students can talk about in the school newspapers.


The School shall reserve the right to limit the publication content in a student newspaper of topics inherent to school life only, without the presence of inappropriate topics.

Judicial victory in this case was important, granted to the school administrators because it served as an example to many other schools, colleges, that administrators must have sufficient power to control the content of student journals in order to maintain order in that school. among students and in society in general, where conflicting issues could be passed on.
