Egyptian Protests

Currently in Egypt, citizens are protesting because they want the president to step down. He has agreed to have another election in September, but citizens are still not happy. Egypt is blocking media and beating anyone with a camera. They beat a CNN reporter, and CNN has resigned not to go back to Egypt. The U.S. has not yet stepped in because we are supposed to be on the side of the people, but we give Egypt 1.3 billion dollars a year in financial aid. Baisically we do not want to lose an ally.

If We Didn’t

What if we didn’t have the Bill of Rights or any amendments to our country’s constitution? Do you think we would be the same county or not? First, if we could not legally bear arms, there would be tons more illegal weapons, creating an unsafe environment. Citizens would fear authorities because they could be searched at any time and African-Americans would still not be accepted as full citizens. Women wouldn’t be able to vote, and poor men might not be able to either. With all of these problems, we would probably go back to our old form of government. Bottom-line, without the amendments and a process to change the constitution, we probably would have kings and a monarchy again.
