http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Constitution+goddamned+piece+of+paper\n\nAfter about 400 articles or so it seems to peter off and become not about Bush anymore.  For anyone saying "there's no source", there's quite a few sources.  It just seems to be another dry-drunk bully statement that he's pretty famous among his staff for ranting, sort of like his "There won't be any diplomacy, F*** Saddam, we're taking him out."  Really repugs, learn to use a search engine.\n\nDon't get so bent out of shape, it's just another goddamned piece of paper...it's not like he wants to desecrate the flag or anything.\nhttp://americablog.blogspot.com/2006/06/did-george-bush-deface-american-flags.html

The style is really not very different than the essays you write for English class. Start with your thesis statement...."Theodore Roosevelt influenced America as a writer, soldier, civic leader, and as a great president." \n\nEach body paragraph will start with a topic sentence and focus on one aspect of what made him influential.  Stay focused, build each paragraph with facts, examples, and details that support the topic sentence.

Did your teacher give you any more specific guidelines?  Endnotes (just like footnotes, by the way) can be used for a few purposes.  For such a short paper as you're writing, though, your teacher probably wants your in-text references to be given in endnotes--in short papers, this is more commonly done with a short citation in parentheses right in the text, but I can't think why your teacher would want that and endnotes too.  \n\nYou can use MS Word's endnote function to create your endnotes.  When you're quoting or paraphrasing from a particular source, you write something like the following: \n\nAccording the the Encyclopedia Brittanica, "something happened."  \n\nAfter the last piece of punctuation, insert an endnote.  The function will create a little superscript number in the text and then will take you directly to the last page of the document to type in the endnote itself, which would be something like "Encyclopedia Brittanica, "Article title", 1996, page 43."  Then you click back into the main text and continue typing your paper.  Anything you refer to in your endnotes should be included in a full citation in your bibliography.  \n\nIf you have more questions about how, specifically, your teacher wants it done, you should ask your teacher directly.  We can give you pointers, but the best way to do something is always by doing it exactly the way the teacher tells you to.

The text reads:\nSection 1.\nThe eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.\n\nSection 2.\nThe transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use there in of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.\n\nSection 3.\nThis article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.\n\nBut for a commentary on the amendment, which by the way\nwas proposed by the United States Congress on February 20, 1933 and was fully ratified on December 5, 1933. This Amendment is thus far the only case, besides the initial ratification of the original Constitution, in which state conventions, specially selected for the purpose—not state legislatures—ratified the amendment, go to:\nhttp://www.law.cornell.edu/anncon/html/amdt21_user.html#amdt21_hd3

Your rights are not dependant on the Constitution but predate it in Common Law.  The Constitution is specifically about creating a general government for the States.  \n\nThe Bill of rights is not a list of personal rights (refer to Article IX of the Amendments).  The first eight articles are statements excluding the federal (general) government from doing specific things.  The last two are declaratory statements of basic truths in part underscoring the fact that individual rights are to numerous too list.\n\nRead Thomas Jefferson’s Kentucky Resolution, preferably his first draft. \n\nBy the way the Constitution of the United States is not long, it is only seven Articles of which the longest only has 10 Sections.  It is written in clear, easy to understand English.

The 4th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States;\n\nThe right of the people to be secure in thier persons, house, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.\n\nThats how it reads, however it has been left to interpretation by any number of authorities. In my interpretation probable cause was required to obtain a warrant in order to search , not cause for search.......\n\nHowever there have been so many other changes to our Constitution that the original bill of rights is mostly just a memory, and has been used and abused by the crooked, the greedy and the power hungry for too long\n\nVOTE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION....\nso that "We the People" can retake our country and reinstate our freedoms\n\nPeace to all...now more than ever...

"When citing a sacred text such as the Bible or the Qur'an, name the edition you are using in your works cited entry (see item 14). In your parenthetical citation, give the book, chapter, and verse (or their equivalent), separated by periods. Common abbreviations for books of the Bible are acceptable. \n\nConsider the words of Solomon: "If your enemies are hungry, give\nthem food to eat.

14th. Amendment \nto the U.S. Constitution \n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nSection 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. \n\nSection 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age,(See Note 15) and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. \n\nSection 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. \n\nSection 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void. \n\nSection 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
