The Vietnam Draft was the secound war draft to be put into effect in America and the secound by the S.S.S. (Selective Service System). The draft called man chosen anonymously through a "lottary", the lottary was very simular to the "reaping" in the "Hunger Games". Those pick were to join the force and were to be asigned to any branch that needed more people. However, most did not join, infact only 40% of the men drafted actualy join the service. Even though the draft was repealed after boycotting, protesting, and "anti-drafting" acts, men have to sign up for the S.S.S. after they turn 18.

The Sons of Liberty became active protesters.They burned stamps and threatened the stamp agents who collected the taxes.Other colonists protested by making speeches or sending petitions to Parliament.

The protective tarrif went up in the north, making goods more expencive in the south and the southerners did not like this. So the south desided that they could nullify it. Buth they were wrong. The reason was that they thought that the constitution did not aply to them. Like, they could abbid by the laws which they found suitable for their state. This, of course is not what the constitution is for. But john Adams did not want this for the union and there for did not allow South Carolina to abbid by them. It did create a frenzy, but was soon died off under the president's threat.

Because, they must have equal rights like men. In many countries constitution assures equal rights among different sex. In some places, equal rights are there in papers, not implemented, like in India. So the women, and feminine organisations still have to fight for equal rights. In KSA, women have very limited rights. Just think, she can't drive her own car, without a mentor.

He practiced civil disobedience by not paying taxes to protest the war.

Sons of liberty. They were a secret group basically to protest against anything unfair Great Britain did.

As someone from, and still living, in Ohio I was atending the University of Akron at the time. Everything that has been published since then states it was not the war protest that led to the shooting of the students. It was the push by the Kent police of rowdy bar patrons onto the KSU campus, and the riot that occurred , that was the cause of the national guard being there and the shootings. Actually, some of the guardsmen were KSU and UA students. I knew one who was there.

The shootings occurred during class changes and many of the people were students trying to get from one class to another. My cousin was on the KSU campus that day and would have been in the middle of the shootings but for the fact she stopped to talk to her teacher after class.

He wanted to gain territory from Austria-Hungary

i heard the country was using most of their money on security

Charles Townshend as chancellor enacted the Townshend acts in an attempt to control the colonies. They resulted in duties or taxes on imports on, among other things, tea. Then England, controlling the colonial monies, would lessen the abilities of the colonies to govern themselves. There were many protests, but the most famous one was when tea was dumped into the bay by colonists resulting in the Boston Tea Party.

On May 4, 1970, four students were killed and nine wounded by National Guard troops at Kent State University in Ohio. The students were protesting the invasion of Cambodia, announced by Richard Nixon the week before. Kent State University

This is generally held to be German Pastor Martin Luther, who nailed his 95 theses, a list of complaints about the activities of the Roman Catholic Church to the door of Wittenburg Cathedral in the year 1517. The main complaint was about the sale of indulgences, forgiveness for sins in exchange for money.

During this period the king of England also split from the Catholic church because he did not wish to be controlled by them in his marital affair's. The Catholic church was the victim of its own power becoming a murderous and corrupt institution as the result of lack of competition.

Some reasons of why the colonists rebelled against the British were:

1. The Boston Massacre

2. Taxation without Representation

3. Intolerable Acts

4. Proclamation of 1763

5. The Stamp Act

6. The Quartering Acts

7. The Sugar act

Yes. There are two sides to every issue and so there were people who did support the war and would attend anti war protests to let the people protesting know they didn't like what they were doing.

There were a lot of things wrong with the church at the time of martin luther. He was a monk and scholar and he didn't agree with the church on a lot of things. The church sold bits of paper called indulgences to the people and told them that if they bought them they would go to heaven. Martin Luther wrote the 95 theses and nailed them to the door of wittenburg church. The 95 theses were all the things he thought wrong with the church. Pope Leo X was disgusted by his actions and sent him a papal bull, a formal letter excommunicating him from the church. Martin Luther burned it in front of the public. Martin Luther wanted the church to correct itself because they were cheating the people and giving them false belief.

That would be the March on Washington, where Martin Luther King delived heis "I Have A Dream" speech
Birmingham City was the venue that the 1963 historical civil rights protests were made.
