Letter XLVII
1. By what process could slaves become free citizens in ancient Rome?

      Slavery in ancient Roman society was different than slavery in America. Although in both circumstances, the slaves were treated harshly, the difference was the fact that the roman slaves could be granted freedom, or manumission. Most slaves in Rome were let go by there owners outright, and were freed that way. Another way they were freed is that they were able to buy their freedom from their owner. That process might have taken a while, but once done, they were free. This was known as informal manumission. Formal manumission was being freed by a magistrate. (manumission )
            The difference in informal and formal manumission is what happened after the slave was freed. The informally freed slave would have fewer rights, wasn't a citizen, and would have to give everything they owned back to their owner when they died. The formally freed slave was a citizen, but couldn't run for office. Also the formally freed slave's children would be considered full citizens and could run for office. (manumission

For research Constitution

2. Why did the Anti- Federealist demeand a bill of rights be added to the Constitution?

The Constitution initially started off as being too weak, so The Anti-federealist demanded a bill of rights because they thought the central government would get to be to strong, and the bill of rights would protect the citizens from being taken advantage of.  They did this after the Articles of Confederation was put in place and gave the central government too much power.
    In order to get the new Constitution ratified, and everyone be satisfied, the Anti-Federalist argued for the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights would guarantee that the president wouldn't become a monarch, and the citizens of America would have their rights.

For Research Question

Hortensia's Protest
2. Research a nineteenth- or twentieth-century example of refusal to pay a tax as a form of political protest. What was being protested? was the goal of protest achieved?

I am obviously going to choose Henry David Thoreau. He is a transcendentalist of the 19th century, and one of the most famous tax protester.  He was protesting the Mexican American War, because he felt that it was spreading slavery. He didn't feel like he should pay for, nor support a cause he didn't believe in. As a result, he was jailed, and in jail is where he wrote Civil Disobedience. The goal of the protest wasn't exactly achieved because the war still went on, but as a result of his essay, his message was spread, and it influenced many of the great leaders today.

Limerick

Well, that was not surprising in the least.

1. I think the people that are mad about Frank McCourt's memoir are fair in their judgement. I mean, nobody wants their dirty laundry aired out. It's fine when only the people who live in the town, and maybe a few towns over know of your poor conditions, but when the whole entire world knows, its embarrassing. I think they are completely fair. The people in the novel aren't fair because they are just being prejudice

2. Well, I don't think my neighbors would be mad because I live in a fairly quite neighborhood. The people surrounding me wouldn't be too upset because for one, Fayetteville isn't a dump, and two, my memoir wouldn't really include anyone but my immediate family

"Knavery's plain face is never seen till used."

There are some people in this world that are truthful and will follow whatever the leader says to do. These people will always say what they mean and mean what they, and will get nowhere in life. I am not one of these people. I am the type of person to smile in your face to get what I want. I will do whatever is necessary to advance myself. I have a hidden agenda, and am not what I appear , and I feelbad for whoever is in my way. I will hide my true intentions and those who don't are fools. I am not who I appear to be.

His reasons would be the fact that he thinks Othello slept with his wife, the fact that he gave Cassio the job he felt he deserved, and that his reputation could be potentially ruined.  There are no true evidence about Othello sleeping with his wife. He says things like,And it is thought abroad that ’twixt my sheets, he’s done my office. I know not if ’t be true, but I, for mere suspicion in that kind, will do as if for surety. Which means he's heard rumors, doesn't know if they're true, but suspicion and his gut feeling is enough.

p.a.s.s.

1. He does  this to give the reader a visual as to where he is. He defines his audience so that it is clear as to who he is writing to.
2.He says men of genuine good will so that they know why he decided to write back to their criticism. It is ironic in a sense of the two contradicting descriptions, but not because even if a person does something others believe isn't the best decision, they could be they did it for a good reason
3.What suggests this is the fact that he goes off into other topics, and explaining why he does what he does, not just for this event.
4.His thesis is at the end of the first paragraph, and it is stated

1.He does this in the first paragraph
2.In my opinion, it is throughout the entire letter
3.He uses the word but in many of his transitions, before, and I hope, moreover
4.He uses these other religions to strengthen his argument of oppression, and overcoming that oppression
5.He uses this  strategy to show how some of the great philosophers has influenced his practice of nonviolent protest and his way of thinking.
6."You may well ask, " Why direct action? Why sit-ins, marches, and so forth," this leads into his argument of his practices. The 14th paragraph is deductive because it concludes the inductive part that i stated.
7. He does this by reminding them that they are all christian, and that he hopes in the future things could be better. He does accomplish this.
