Can you make a case as to why we the people should not incite the Declaration of Independence?

Question

NOTE: please read the document before answering. Ignorance of our history is why we are in this situation today.

Please do not say that our current situation is not as bad as the British treatment of the colonists. The Declaration, The Constitution, and the Revolution were all comprised because a bunch of aristocrats did not want to pay their taxes. But it is not their motivations but the words they left for us and the actions they took in order to gain their independence and become the fathers of the greatest nation on earth.

I don't want to here about them being slave owners, or some of their lack of faith in democracy unless relevant to why we should or should not. No external issues. Just answer the question.

I see our current government (Democrat and Republican alike) in direct violation of the words of the document.

Do you agree/disagree? why? Will you still vote for one of these tyrannical parties, and if so Why?

We only get 1000 characters so just answer the question.

Reading into the question inorder to avoid it seems typical. The question is this would be wrong to revolt against the current statis quo!

p l: if what you say is true then why are the rules for getting on the ballot different for independants then it is for the D & Rs. Being tyrannical within a certain sphere of influence is still tyranny.

Answer 1

The Declaration of Independence is a marvelious document and should be the law of the land. Then as in V for Vendetta suggests, the goverment wouldn't be feared by its people but would fear the people, yes our revolution was fought for less oppression than exists today

Answer 2

I disagree on several levels, but I'll be brief.

You haven't made a salient/logical point.

You claim ignorance of American history as the cause of our current situation, yet it's obvious based on your question that you in fact have no true understanding of American history,

By definition a political party can not be tyrannical.

You have said that the "current government (Democrat and Republican alike) 'are' in direct violation of the words of the document." You fail to support that claim with fact and therefore it ultimately is only your opinion. And an opinion based on little knowledge on your part of the subject area.

The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution had little to do with aristocracy or taxes. But honestly I don't know what you are trying to claim because you are using the word "comprised" which is not contextual and renders your statement senseless.

So... to simply answer your question.... I disagree with you.


Didn't really expect a personal response..... but sorry you disagree with the textbook/dictionary definition of "political party" but I would reiterate that by definition a party/group/affiliation can not be tyrannical.

Secondly if semantics is all you have left to argue, then you have proved my point about your complete lack of understanding of the subject.

Answer 3

I think you mean that many of the abuses of the Dumbya Coup are not unlike that which propelled the Colonies to revolution against George III. Aristocrats not wanting to pay taxes and shifting the burden to the rest of us... check. How about crooked shamlections that installed a king.... check again. The list can go on about the Dumbya Coup. As long as it's possible the Repukes have to be defeated with the vote and Democrats seem to be the only other way now short of a revolution that would be so much more bloody, and probably unsuccessful, because of modern weapons.

Answer 4

The British had entered into treaties with the Natives west of the jap variety of mountains, such that the British stood as an obstacle to American needs to invade the ones lands, violating the treaties. This supposed that the Natives generally had been inclined to face with the British in opposition to warlike colonists purpose on invading the Native lands. In special, the various Iroquois international locations stood with the British and of direction the Colonists did, nearly instantly start its invasion of Native lands upon of completion of the battle of Independence. Some, however certainly not the entire Iroquois confederacy fled to Canada in which they had been granted a primary tract of land alongside the Grand River in Ontario as thank you for his or her help.

Answer 5

Yes, you are right. And no, I won't vote for either party. I vote Libertarian. Not because I think they have it all right, but because it a is a "new" way of thinking in comparison to the constant power struggle between the Democrats and Republicans. And because the Libertarians are based around the NEED to following the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Answer 6

i've read the declaration of independance. in fact, i can recite it from memory (minus the list of grievences).

I don't totally understand your question but there is one main thing I notice that people don't seem to like to admit in politics today:

-The founders believed in God and religion as important. In fact, in the last lines, the founders state "with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence." It also refers to our god given rights as humans . . . "assume amoung hte powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of naturs god entitle them"

Our nation was clearly founded by people with a religious foundation, and with the intention that our religious morals would hold our country together. Our founders never intended freedom of religion to mean absence of religion in all forms of govenment.


For people who want to use the language in the declaration of independence for justification of governent overthrow, they clearly have not read the document or have read it blindly. The majority of the document is spent laying out all the factors that applied that makes a government change necessary. Its certain that these do not all apply to anyone in America today.

Answer 7

INCITE, INSTIGATE, ABET, FOMENT mean to spur to action. INCITE stresses a stirring up and urging on, and may or may not imply initiating . INSTIGATE definitely implies responsibility for initiating another's action and often connotes underhandedness or evil intention . ABET implies both assisting and encouraging . FOMENT implies persistence in goading .

How do you incite a document?

Answer 8

Exactly how does 1 go about inciting a document?

Answer 9

The word "incite" means "to provoke or stir up." So I'm not sure what your question is. What do you mean by "provoke or stir up the Declaration of Independence?"

Answer 10

Well, you can invoke it or recite it, but I don't know how you can incite a historic document. What do you want to incite it to do?
