After our 2017 presidential election, I can say that both the 1st and 14th Amendments are at risk. The 14th Amendment states, “No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges of immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”.

You can do anything… Grab ’em by the p*ssy. You can do anything...” (Trump). Obviously, this kind of action and even talking about it is impermissible by society’s standards. However, when confronted about it, he said it was excusable considering it was just “locker-room talk,” and was “normal.” The fact that someone who

On January 27, 2017, only one week later of his inauguration day, Donald J. Trump issued an executive order. The press and the white house refers to this order as an immigration ban, a ban that denies the entrance from citizens from Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Iran, Somalia, Libya and Yemen into the U.S. The order goes against everything America stands for, how can we deny the entrance of people who also want to have the American dream?

With the presidential race running strong, candidates are saying anything to get press attention, and what they say usually isn't good, like, Trump's views on Mexicans. Trump says that Mexican immigrants are all rapists and murderers. As he says this, we're wondering 'how is he allowed to say these things?' This raises the question, are bigoted speeches and expressions allowed in America, even if they're disgusting, and offensive? The answer, after many years of court cases and history, is yes,

This year, thousands of African-Americans, Hispanics, Muslims and other races and religions, have suffered from the racial tensions between police officers, or even by the presidential elections that have been held this year. In fact, Donald trump gives us no reason to believe that he is not racist. He already told us that he is going to ship anyone that is not his color, back to where they have migrated from.

“They were murdered by their neighbor because of their faith, because of a piece of cloth they chose to don on their heads, because they were visibly Muslim.” This quote is from a woman named Suzanne Barakat whose brother, Deah, sister-in-law, Yusor, and sister in law's sister, Razan, was murdered in their own home by their neighbor. Sadly hate crimes like this one have been increasing over time in America since 9/11. The rise of hate crimes towards Muslims is mainly caused by Islamophobia. Islamophobia

vary as the independent variable. Student A: I believe that Donald Trump will be the greatest president because of his ideas about climate change.
