Democracy - a form of government in which citizens rule through elected representatives. The United States is an example of a Democracy. Congress (elected representatives) listen to what the public wants and writes laws to reflect the wishes of the people. Communist - a form of government in which the government controls all aspects of a country. The Communist Party is the only allowable political party in a Communist country. The head of the Communist Party serves as leader of the Communist country. In a Communist country, everything is controlled by the government (all businesses, farms, stores, etc.). Communism seeks total equality for all people in which there are no wealthy people and is only one social class; the working class.Theocracy - a form of government in which a religious leader or religious council governs the country. The laws of a theocracy are based on a holy book (Islamic Koran, Christian Bible, etc.). Only one official religion is allowed in a Theocracy.Monarchy - a form of government in which a king or queen rules. A pure Monarchy is similar to a dictatorship. The only difference is that in a Monarchy, the king or queen is decided upon through family line. Whereas, in a dictatorship, a dictator often takes control by force. Oligarchy - a form of government in which a few people rule. Some theocracies are ruled under an Oligarchical system. A religious council might lead the country.

Why was the First Amendment important for the Founding Fathers?

Christine,What they meant by that term was, quite literally, the freedom to speak, to stand up, in public, and express your ideas orally so that others could hear them. They did not mean artworks, or striptease dances or any of the other things that modern courts have read into that simple phrase.Michael MontagneAnswerI would add to the previous answer that the founding father's had (legally) been prevented from speaking out against the King and his rulings. The freedom of speech concept, I believe, was specifically developed to protect speech and ideas which were critical of the government and its policies. In other words, it protected the right of the war protesters during the Vietnam era to publicly oppose the war. I agree that the freedom of speech amendment was not designed to protect pornographers. It is a protection of political rights not a protection of smut. AnswerYou are both missing one very important point. Offensive expression is exactly what needs protecting! It is the only speech that needs protection. No one is complaining about non-offensive speech. If you are going to allow censorship of any form then you have to give the government the ability to decide what they feel is offensive. How easy is that power abused? This abuse by the government is exactly what the founding fathers want to prevent by freedom of speech. How long before some forms of religious or political speech would becomed offensive and censored? You also have to realize that by living in a free society you are going to be exposed to things and people that may be offensive to you. The point is that everyone has different ideas about what is offensive. Do you honestly want to give someone else the power to decide what is acceptible for you? If you don't like something then don't listen to it or buy it - don't tell me what I can or cannot do. I thought 1984 had come and gone and we were lucky enough to have avoided having Big Brother control us. AnswerDid the founding fathers also believe that freedom of speech should protect discourse that emboldens enemies of the state during times of war? Answeri think that the founding fathers never intended people to abuse their right to express them selves. Answeri think that the founding fathers intended the words freedom of speech to be exactly what they mean but not for people to abuse the way they use that freedom becuase over time people began to use foul language that even children today are using people in america have the right to say what they want no matter what it is.


Why was the election of Jackson in 1828 considered to be a revolution?

Jackson was seen as a representative of the "common man." He was from the Western frontier and was a self-made man. The first six presidents were all from the Eastern establishment, all wealthy, all founding fathers (or the son of a founding father), and except for Washington, all educated in the best schools of their day. It was also a new time when political voting and forms of politics where changing. It was the first election in which national parties and national campaigns played a major role in the election of the President.

Fathers Father's means that something belongs to father or means 'father is' Ex) The fathers all met at the front of the room. Ex) Father's jacket was stolen. Ex) Father's at the store.
