According to a different source, this question refers to the text "Margaret Garner: Defying the Fugitive Slave Act" by Levi Coffin.
In this text, we learn about a woman names Margaret Garner who was a slave in Kentucky, but managed to escape. Upon being recaptured, she killed two of her children, preferring death to allowing them to become slaves.
Coffin's narrative shows that he is an abolitionist, and that he is inclined to support the decision of Garner. He describes her story as a heroic and painful one, and argues that only people who have experienced such level of sorrow are able to imagine the pain that Margaret had to endure. The purpose of the text is to show how unimaginable slavery is, and how it can lead people to commit the most desperate acts.
In year 1910 Senator Robert Owen passionately fought for the right of women to vote. In his struggle, he famously compared it to the fight for American Independence.
In his opinion, women made up half of all humanity and were equally involved in the development of a modern society, either by being a home marker or even working on the fields.
However, she received little recognition and did not fare well financially. According to him, the American Independence doctrine was ''all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed'' but how can the United States be just, when it denies powers to half of all people living in the country.
According to him, for America to be just and a true democracy, it was evident that women should have an equal vote.
It was "Alexander I" who was the Russian Tsar who refused to surrender to Napoleon in 1812, even after Moscow had been captured and burned, since he suspected (correctly) that Napoleon's army would not be able to endure.
Answer:
Engel v. Vitale (1962) was a case in which New York State's Board of Regents attempted to force children to pray in public schools. The Supreme Court ruled that this law violated the First Amendment. The ruling affirmed that, in the United States, church and state (religion and government) were separate. If a child attended a public school, he/she should be able to express his/her own religious beliefs in any way he/she sees fit. The case of West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette (1943) involved forced participation in the Pledge of Allegiance. Two students claimed they could not participate in the pledge based on religious beliefs and sued the state board. Again, the Supreme Court agreed that the students should be allowed to excuse themselves from any ceremonies that offended their religious beliefs.
