Answer 1

We'll start with the easy ones. The Preamble to the U.S. Constitution is:

"We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

If you just read through it, the goals are pretty clear:
- to establish a better nation
- establish justice
- ensure domestic tranquility
- provide for defense
- promote general welfare
- secure the benefits of liberty

That's six. And those probably serve as good keywords. There was an old 'Schoolhouse Rock' song that put it to music, which would be a good way to remember it (that's how I do, anyway). Link 1 should be that (I can't tell right now - my speakers are broken!).

As for your ethical questions, most ethical questions don't have entirely clear answers... they will depend a bit more on circumstances and who and when you ask. I can tell you that both of those activities are usually considered completely legal, with a few exceptions.

The exceptions have to do with obscenity, keeping the peace, and discouraging crime. You cannot, for example, distribute pornographic leaflets to children. You cannot shout on a streetcorner at three in the morning. Nor can you inflame people to commit a crime on the spot.

All of which really goes to the same ethical point (more or less) - you are free to say anything you want, in person or by leaflet, as long as your speech does not DIRECTLY harm or damage someone else. That sounds like a pretty good rule of thumb to me.

One problem that arises from it is exactly what can be considered harm or damage. Some people, for example, feel they have a right not to be offended and try to prevent others from doing any number of things that they find as such. Though generally the law doesn't recognize being offended as a kind of harm, some laws of this nature have actually made the books. Personally, I think there are so many different things that could be seen as offensive to one person or another that trying to stop it is pointless at best and oppressive at worst.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

1. Should a person be allowed to pass out notices on a street corner in your town if the notices are very unpopular with the people in your town?Why?

Absolutely. You cannot censor speech simply because it is not popular. According to the United States, free speech is very important, though the U.S. really doesn't practice what it preaches that often.

2. Should a person be allowed to give a street-corner speech in your town if he/she desires?Why?

Yes. Same answer as above.

3. Can you please list and define key words to know if one is to understand the Preamble?

Justice, domestic tranquility, common defense, general welfare, liberty, and posterity.

You can easily define these using a search engine. You probably have a good idea of what each of these terms means. "Posterity" simply means offspring, or children. Don't confuse it with "prosperity", which is the condition of having good fortune.


One more question:

What are the six goals in the preamble?

The six goals are the following:

To form a more perfect union
To establish justice
To insure domestic tranquility
To provide for common defense
To promote general welfare
To secure blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity

Answer 3

--read the preamble ..see the list in above answer
--"free speech" is a foundation of the USA...but yelling fire when there is non to create panic/injury or inciting a riot is a crime...
-towns have different rules/ordinances as to posting of flyers/papers and distribution. Some towns/cities require permits -failure to follow the city's regulations/ordinances is a crime...

Answer 4

certainly canine.... cats are so standoffish and unusual. They sit down on the backs of chairs, stairing at you, plotting something. organic evil in case you question me... canine on the different hand are astonishing. no matter if their pleasant or no longer, they always at modern-day practice you some variety of interest, and also you do not forget that they are there. they're going to arise, and get to understand you. they're a lot more effective powerful companions - they actively search out interest, and they get a lot more effective enthusiastic about seeing you than cats do. they're also more effective relaxing to play with. Plus once you convey your female friend homestead for the first time, the first element a canine does is positioned his face in her crotch.... you gotta appreciate that.

Answer 5

Your freedom of speech is yours, so long as you do not interfere with my freedoms. Pass out anything you wish, but do not get mad at me if I refuse to take it. Get the proper permit to give a speech, but do not expect me to listen.
I could make the definition, but choose to end here...My freedom of choice. Thank You
