The United States of America is one of the most important democratic
countries in the world, guaranteed by the Constitution of the real guarantees
for the American citizen in the area of freedom and rights, this Constitution
is one of the oldest constitutions of the world As it has not been changed and
modified only twenty-six times, The first ten were amended after writing the
constitution in two yearsin 1787, which is considered by some
as a document Rights , because these amendments guarantee and protect the freedom
of the American citizen, However, these constitutional guarantees have been
subject to abuses by the executive branch from time to time as they issue some
laws that impede human rights and public freedoms human rights in the American
Constitution and guarantees of protection at certain times and for many reasons
such as a state of war or declaration of a state of emergency because of a
threat to national security American .
The first
sentence has been written in the Constitution, we the people, Questions about this
constitution began since it was writing in 1787, Is this constitution that will
guarantee the rights for everyone in this country, or it is just words written
on paper and will not be implemented by everyone and who is (we) and how we can
belong to the category of we, who are actually protected by this law.When
constitutions is written, there are usually things that are unacceptable to
people, which may make them feel that they do not belong to their country simply
because they have been deprived of their most basic rights. If we will
begin to study the historical development of equal rights in the Constitution We
will find many of the previously lost rights, especially for African Americans Some considered them to be a second class in society and they were so
evocative that they did not have the right to vote even
Until 1965, parts of the constitution were amended to guarantee rights
for all.We will find that the Constitution evolved significantly over the first
years of writing, and there have been several amendments to it and the most
important of these amendments is the amendment 14, which emphasized the concept
of equal rights concepts (All persons born or naturalized in the United States
and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and
of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;
nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without
due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.There are still problems for equal rights today, there
are states that prevent the US citizen from voting, and Kentucky is the first
on this list, itPrevent rebel
citizens or criminals from voting, under the amended law mentioned in the
Constitution (except for participation in rebellion or other crime) (Amendment
14). Many considered this as a crime against humanity and the right to be US
citizens with all rights equally with other citizens,
They considered that this was taken from their freedoms in their country.And in
the same context with regard to voting, before the 19th century, women had
limited political rights.
They were seen as followers of their husbands and had
no property of their own, and the despicable deeds were inflicted on them. By
the middle of the 19th century, women had become more politically organized.
This was achieved after a long struggle led by (Susan B. Anthony) and (Tramit
Cady Santanon)
and then the 19 amendment was approved in 1920,which
guaranteed the right of women to vote. Then came 1991, 1991, to allow women to
sue employers in small and medium enterprises for damages caused by sexual
harassment or any other harm against women in work . From here women began to
feel good and they were equal in rights and duties with the rest of the
community and even became very powerful and influential in society,This
is clear evidence of the evolution of the US Constitution in an effective and
positive way for all members of society or for the category that was considered
a vulnerable group in the country, On the other hand, the study of the history
of the development of equal rights in the law, in 2004, the same-sex
marriage was approvedby law.
It is
estimated that homosexuals account for 10% of the total adult population in the
United States, This large minority has resisted
racial discrimination very much in all aspects of life;some states
approved the marriage, which led to a congressional decision in 1986. States
that sexual relations between the two sexes at the age of cognition is a crime
and punishable by law.
President Bill Clinton and during his
first presidential campaign in 1990 called for giving some freedom to
homosexuals, without fear or pressure from society, After this discourse, the
developmentprogressive of the rights of this group began in society,
but in a very simple way
,Until the final decision came in 2004,This group of society was suffering
from their non-acceptance into society ,And that they
have no rights to freely choose their life the way they like, that’s
why the law was passed, and their marriage was approved and given full freedoms
and rights. But this amendment to the law did not appeal to many people;
they
started demonstrating in California in 2008 to prevent this decision.
Many of them thought that this decision would be a bad decision for
society because it would actually end humanity in one way or another.
Because
the multiplication of humans is actually male and female, that’s why we saw these
demonstrations in the streets of California.But all these amended laws over the
years have been and continue to support minorities against the rule of the
majority, gave them their rights in full in proportion to being citizens with
all the, freedom and all the privileges as any citizen with US citizenship no
one or any country has the right to deprive any right of this Citizen.
One
Of the rights granted to people who are not holders of American nationality .The
rights granted to the illegal Mexicans who entered Texas in the 1950s, illegally,
when the Texas schools became overcrowded with Mexican students, Texas asked
students to prove they were legitimate in the country or to pay 1,000 per
student, but after reviewing the Constitution, Amendment 14,Which
states that all those in the United States have the same rights as non-US citizens.
This was the biggest pro-Mexican decision, which entered the country illegally.They were able to complete their lives legally, because they are
protected by the Constitutionas a person’s.
To this day there are many things
that are incomprehensible or that we should be more deeply aware of in the
constitution. Questions are still present in many cases. It is known that
people do not usually meet the same priorities and rules in life. But everyone
agreed that after the great amendments the constitution has proved that it is
one of the greatest constitutions that supports the citizens and gives them the
power and freedom to express their views and problems in a very civilized way
without any pressure or restriction of opinions. Every person found on this
country is protected by the unites states law. And by the Constitution ,the Constitution
of (we the people).
