Bill Of Rights Anglais

ANGLAIS : I. THE DÉCLARATION OF INDÉPENDANCE & U.S CONSTITUTION I • THE DÉCLARATION OF INDÉPENDANCE : Thomas Jefferson wrote most of the Declaration of Independence in the early summer of 1776. Its purpose was to announce that the 13 English colonies in North America had decided to become independent of England and start their own, new country. Another idea is that a government gets its power from the people. This principle is called popular sovereignty. The Declaration of Independence

American Bill of Rights On April 30, 1789, George Washington was sworn in as the first President of the United States. The new United States Constitution had already been ratified and went into effect the 4th March 1789, but the new country was still in danger/unsettled.

He’d just sit back in his chair, sometimes putting his feet up on his desk, and then he’d ask probing questions and insult whoever attempted to answer them (usually for their lack of individual thought). For homework he’d assign us lots of dry reading

On the contrary, the British constitution is a group of texts for instance the Magna Carta, the Habeas Corpus, the Bill of Rights, the Act of Settlement and more recently the European communities act. Both of these constitutions are written in order to improve the human rights in their states but also to check and balance

compromise is necessary between security and ideological commitments. But is it really true? Are those goals compatible? Ever since the passage of the Bill of Rights, there has been a tension between individual liberty and the quest for a secure nation. On a number of occasions this balance has swung dramatically toward national security with the internment of Japanese Americans during the Second World War or with the McCarthy witch hunt and more recently with the Patriot Act. Following the 9/11,

régime parlementaire est né de la révolution de 1688 qui avait amené Guillaume et Marie, suzerains d'Angleterre, a souscrire au Bill of right (déclaration des droits). Celle-ci réduisait considérablement le pouvoir du roi tout en revalorisant le parlement. Il s'agira de s'intéresser à l'évolution de la notion de séparation de pouvoirs au sein du régime parlementaire anglais. En effet la notion de séparation des pouvoirs, telle qu'elle avait été prévue en 1688, n'est plus la même aujourd'hui. L'application
