Essay Instructions: America has a dual founding, one Lockean and one Puritan. The Lockean founding emphasizes government as social contract and liberty as the absence of restraint.
The Puritan founding maintains that there is only liberty to do the good and that political society should be a community bound by love and affection.
There are elements of both of these foundings within our society today, but over time the Lockean founding has taken over and purged most of the remnants of the Puritan founding.
The Lockean conception of liberty has moved from politics into other areas of human life, economics and personal relationships, for example.
This victory of the Lockean founding can be seen in our contemporary work, education, religions, architecture, families, etc. The problem is that this Lockean conception of liberty is inherently contradictory and eventually destroys itself.
Tocqueville shows us a picture of what this destruction looks like in his description of democratic despotism. He also argues that associational and religious life are important forces which push back against Lockeanism and may help to prevent America from going down this road.
This is the narrative of American political and cultural development.
.
The Paper MUST engage with the themes of the course which is the Lockean and Tocqueville. I mean that it must in some way engage with this narrative. I want to point out that and argue that the narrative is false in someway,and point out some phenomena which do not fit into the narrative about women and the Feminism movement has not destroyed the family way of life. The movement became a necessity because divorce was easier to obtain and therefore women needed to find a way to support themself and also their family. The idea that women do not necessarily want it all but strive for it. That it is possible for women to achieve goals just like men do.

I am enclosing two articles that need to be used in the paper and the other two articles can be outside sources
There are faxes for this order.

Essay Instructions: America’s Retreat from Liberty in times of Crisis



In times of crisis, the federal government has often enacted laws that infringed deeply upon Americans’ civil liberties (personal freedoms) in the name of “national security” or sometimes in order to gain “victory,” when war was declared or looming. Though not frequent, when such legislation or use of federal power occurs it is completely antithetical to the freedoms our founding fathers envisioned and guaranteed for us in the Bill of Rights. Examples range from John Adams’ and the Federalists’ Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798 to Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus during the Civil War to widespread federal suppression of “radicalism” in the wake of the Bolshevik Revolution to the Patriot Act of recent times.

Your assignment is to write a paper about a specific aspect of one of the following periods/actions in which governmental power was placed above personal freedoms supposedly for the national interest:

1) the Espionage and Sedition Acts (World War I)

2) the Palmer Raids (1919)

3) the Alien Registration or Smith Act (1940)

4) the internment of Japanese-Americans, or German-Americans or Italian-Americans during World War II

5) Various legislation during the McCarthy Era of the 1950s

6) the Patriot Act of the present century.

Since there are numerous books written on all these topics, you’ll want to find a researchable, creative angle that is appropriate for the length of assignment (5-6 pages, a minimum of 1,250 words, not including notes or bibliography). For example, you can focus on the historical context and rationale that led to the government’s actions. Or, you could focus on one or several of the individuals who argued for these actions and examine their motivations. Alternately, you could write about how individuals or groups of Americans were affected by these actions. Another option is to look at resistance movements against the government’s actions. Still other possible angles could be to compare and contrast some aspect of one of these actions with another sanctioned violation of liberties that occurred previously in United States history, or to examine how economic or racial issues shaped federal policies at the time.

Whatever instance you choose of government suppression of liberties, you’ll want to base your argument on thorough research, start with a clear thesis, and eventually draw some important conclusions about the vulnerable state of civil liberties in times of crisis. In any case, you don't want your paper to read like an encyclopedic "report."

You must use at least two primary sources (official documents, letters, diaries, interviews, etc. from the time period) and at least three secondary sources (books and articles). Use of primary sources in support of your argument is ideal. Remember, "Wikipedia" and similar information sites along with blogs and etc. are not credible secondary sources. All information, sources and direct quotes must be documented in Chicago Style (CMS), which is used in history (CMS rules are explained A Pocket Guide to Writing in History, Section 7. Please model Rampolla's examples). For more details, refer to the information in the Term Paper Expectations section of the content area.
