SHOULD CONGRESS BE TRUSTED? WHAT cheap prom dresses under 100 HAVE WE LEARNT THROUGH HISTORY? Implications and Expected results for a Non-proactive Electorate " in the fight for Rights"
VOTING
RIGHTS BATTLE BACKGROUND IN THE UNITED STATES: The debate on the right
to Vote dates way back in 1789, time when the United States Constitution
was adopted. The "Slave Owning States" insisted that the right to vote
only be granted to "white men" at the same time demanded that black
slaves short prom dresses
in household be counted and numbers relied on in determination of
congressional representation. Due to disagreements on voting rights, the
Federal Government only retained authority to determine USA Citizenship
while independent states took over the right to set standards on who
was vote, when and how voting was to be conducted. At that time in
history, most Southern States were label " Slave States" due to
wide-spread slave ownership. It's not surprising that most states for
many years granted the right to vote to only "white men" sometimes
setting additional limitations on the basis of property ownership for
one to vote.
It's not surprising that the 1790 Naturalization Act
recognized only "free white males" as the only people subject to
naturalized in the United States. Native Americans were Prom Dresses
excluded not only from citizenship but also the right to vote in the
United States. The law presumed "Native Americans were citizens of their
sovereign "Indian Nations" and thus could not be citizens of the United
States. The women and slaves were the only nonvoters by law at the
time. At the end of the Mexican-American Revolution and under the Treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexicans who had remained in the new conquered
territories were to become USA citizens by law enacted by congress.
Although legally recognized as citizens, the 1850 Union of states i.e.
Texas and California led to the enacting laws aimed at denying Mexicans
in conquered territories the right to vote.
The 1861-1865 Civil
War led to the death of 360,000 Union antislave supporters "blacks and
white" Thus leading to the end of legalized slavery. This legal death of
slavery was enacted in the 1863 proclamation and 13th Constitution
Amendment of 1865 by the Federal Government. Though the determination of
voting rights still lay in the hands of independent states. In 1867 the
14th amendment extended citizenship to all black men for the first time
in History although women of all races were still denied citizenship.
The right to vote for black men was theoretically legalized Prom Dresses 2013
in 1867 through 15th Amendment although almost all Southern States had
very unfavorable voting laws for black men and practically non for all
women.
The Republicans and Democratic Party compromises in
politics manifesting itself today is deeply rooted in undisclosed
agreements between elected leaders of the two political parties purposed
for personal benefits to the cost of the minorities or
underrepresented. In the 1876 disputed presidential elections between
Hayes a Republican candidate and Tilden a Democrate candidate led to a
congressional compromise, later to be known as "Compromise of 1877". In
the undisputed facts, the Republicans agreed to retain the White House
while white racists " at the time mostly democrate's" gained political
support to oppress and persecute non-whites through very unjust laws
adopted during that time.
States completely disregarded of the
15th Amendment to the Constitution, a factor that led to, many working
blacks at the time getting expelled from office jobs for voting, evicted
from home for exercising right to vote and crippling laws enacted to
deter blacks or other races from voting. These Laws included, the
literacy test laws deterring anyone that couldn't read or write from
voting, the grandfather clause limiting voting to only people with
grandfathers with eligibility to vote, poll tax laws that limited voting
to only individuals who could afford cheap prom dresses 2013 to pay that tax "the rich"and the separation Laws under "Jim Crow".
Asians
in the 1870 Naturalization Amendment Act were specifically denied
citizenship. Citizenship was limited to white people and people of
African descent. All women, Africans, Asian, Chinese, Mexican and Native
- Americans were denied citizenship and the right to vote in almost all
states especially Southern short prom dresses 2013
States. Between 1890 - 1920, a few states granted women the right to
vote, with the adoption of the 19th Amendment, female voting was finally
incorporated into Federal Law.
WHY REVIEW THE HISTORY: I believe
life is the best teacher for anybody willing to learn. The need to
suppress the minority for the selfish desires of the majority "RICH" has
persistently manifested itself in USA politics.
On December 4th
2012 Congress failed to pass the UN Treaty on the Rights of People with
Disability. 61 Democrats voted for the agreement while 38 Republicans
voted against the agreement thus ratification on a two-third majority
failed. Senators who voted against, mostly Republicans alleged they were
fighting for the sovereignty of the United States against UN control or
broadening of its legal principles. For any person with legal knowledge
in supremacy of laws in the United States, You know that International
Laws do not automatically become law in the United States at all times.
There exceptions to the general rule in all principles in Law.
Also the fact that, the United States adopted the "Americans Short Prom Dresses
with Disabilities Act as amended" of 1990, a law that's substantially
the same as the rejected UN Disability Agreement baffles my mind to
date. In addition, USA enacted laws in support of people with
disabilities include, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Fair Housing
Act, the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Air Carrier Access Act of
1986, the Voting Accessibility for the Elderly and Handicapped Act of
1984, the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act and the
Architectural Barriers Act of 1968.
It's not surprising that old
tricks relied on by congress to sustain selfish interests of "the
funders" at the cost of making the right decision at the expense of the
minority "people with disabilities" are still at play to date.
Also
the applicability and availability in International Law of principles
like "the Non self-executing treaties" actually makes it inconceivable
that no congressional representative highlighted above mentioned
principle in support for or against ratification. The Senators against
the treaty did not even elaborate or identify specific grounds for
voting against ratification. All focus was on the presumptive results
from ratification that the UN treaty would attaine supremacy enacted USA
law.
All Lawyers know that any ratifying state has a right to
deliver to the United Nations committee a declaration that the adopted
law wont become self-executing, a legal implication that for purposes of
that treaty, the UN treaty would not apply automatically in USA courts.
Adoption or application of a non-self-executing treaty would require
additional consent before court application. The United States has
relied on similar declarations before i.e. during the ratification of,
the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the
International Covenant on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and
the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading
Treatment or Punishment.
The public must rise up against senators who violate public cheap short prom dresses trust
at the expense of self-imposed conditions or pledges to the "RICH
FUNDERS " a big price for the underrepresented "persons with
disabilities". Not only does the USA have a reputation to protect in the
International community, rejection of that UN Agreement undermineS our
role as part of the five permanent members of the United Nations, key in
taking very important decisions on UN policies or decisions.
Congress's
breach of trust for United States citizens is undeniable especially in
light of once again failure to pass the Aid Relief Package for sandy
victims. The Electorate needs to take a pro-active role in demanding
answers. The congress elected representative seem clueless with regards
the needs of short prom dresses under 100 people they represented.
We
must make our representative accountable for their actions" Lets join
hands to stop congress madness and disregard of the electorate.
