argue to legalize public nudity, so I think a person could certainly make a case that nudity is a form of free speech. Most often the nude activists argue that their first amendment rights are being violated, and that public nudity is a form of expression.

Week 5 Discussion Question: I have several justifications to ask her to come with me to the Airport Security Office. It is called “reasonable suspicion” which is something below probable cause but above the hunch (Worrall 2010, pg. 87). Obviously, she changes clothes in the bathroom which was very odd that someone will do unless they regurgitated on themselves or waste something. Also, she didn’t have any photo identification to identify herself. In addition, she said was staying in New York

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution Amendment II of the Unites States Constitution, commonly referred to as, “the right to bear arms”, is written as follows: “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” This amendment was adopted along with 9 other amendments contained in the Bill of Rights, on December 15, 1791. At that point, it was merely a federal provision, and the states

keep our rights the same for years to come. It is my belief that the flag should not be protected under a constitutional amendment as it could take away your freedom of speech, as the flag is only a symbolic representation of America and making a big change in the constitutional amendments may not be accepted by many Americans. We are protected by constitution, and the First Amendment States “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

opposition is the language of the second amendment of the constitution. Personal Safety Top Reason Americans Own Guns Today A Review of the Literature Americans and firearms have grown simultaneously from the beginning of times in the United States and the biggest reason for that is personal safety. Personal protection is the top reason “Americans own a gun, as was true in 2000 and 2005. This, rather than views on the Second Amendment, may explain why moving toward

like many high school cheerleaders do, but the message painted on their signs were statements such as, “And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us” The messages on the banners are religious speech and a violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution.

The cheerleaders painted these signs for a school organized football game; the educational institution is a public
