Well, the Declaration of Independence was about the Revolutionary war.  Do you remember the Boston Massacre?  Tomas Jefferson was in the Revolutionary War and he signed the Contract.  The Declaration of Independence was a good thing.  There was a legend about a secret treasure on the back of the Declaration of Independence.

If you're going to include congresses before the signing of the Constitution, then whether or not to declare independence was the first big controversy. Otherwise, one of the first debates in the Congress of the United States was what to call the President (His Higness, His Excellency, Mr. President, etc.)

It wasn't originally in the pledge. It was added by Congress in the 50's during the Cold War.

why would you be obligated to pledge allegiance to anything ? i dint agree with schools whether public or college should make any student pledge allegiance. I was taught to speak up for myself and i think why should we pledge to a flag who's government has done nothing but enslaved people, create unnecessary wars and dint care about anyone else but themselves. So what its a flag big deal ! so i dint know if you have to say it in N.C. but you shouldn't have to there or any where else. look at it this way the constitution gives you the right to express yourself ..and here is me expressing myself ..that document was written for middle age -Caucasian men only.

Some wise guys once said-\n"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."\n\nIn other words, it is our duty to revolt against oppression and dictators and ensure our constitution represents the needs of the people.\n\nIt was the founding fathers of the United States who wrote these words into the Declaration of Independence and they apply just as much today as 200 years ago.\n\nThe only problem is many people are scared because of the all the "don't go there, its treason" clauses inserted by law makers ever since to stop reform.\n\nTime is up. America needs change.\n\nhttp://united-america.org

You need to phrase your question in the form of an independent clause.

None in reality.!!\n\nWhy! Black Gold!!\n\n\n"We hold dear what our Declaration of Independence says, that all have got uninalienable rights, endowed by a Creator."\nSource: The New York Times, "Reporter's Notebook; Skipping Borders, Tripping Diction," David E. Sanger, May 28, 2002 \n\n\nI told you he never read it!

Do you mean "apart from" or "a part of"?\n\n"Apart from" would be independent.\n"A part of" would be bi-partisan.

Federalism is neither good nor bad in itself. It is a form of democracy entirely appropriate for our times - times which require large agglomerations of resources for some purposes but which also want a local variety, and as much local autonomy as is possible. To go it alone in a global world is hard for any small group, or indeed for any nation. Temporary alliances of mutual interest, confederations are fragile. The transaction costs involved in maintaining them often exceed their benefits, and it is not easy to ensure that some do not benefit more from the alliance than others. Federations, too, have their transaction costs, for much has to be done by negotiation and agreement rather than by central diktat. But the sense of twin citizenship can be deeply reassuring, because we know that we are locked into something bigger than ourselves while at the same time preserving our own identity.

Right now? It's defined by all sorts of clauses and such, it SHOULD be defined by a constitution, but since that hasn't been ratified, I really can't tell you exactly how it works.\n\nHowever, I think what is practiced now, is identical to what is in the constitution, so you could read up on that (don't worry, it is an easy read). I can't remember, and I think it in practice is useful for voicing Europe-Wide views in different political alignment separate from "national" interests.

There is no where in the Constitution that says anything about "pursuit of happiness". I believe you are thinking of the Declaration of Independence ("We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.")

Well... its kindof hard to sort through the baby talk you put in your question.  You should try to write a question that makes sense and then fill in the details after people click on your question.\n\nIs this what you're after?\n\nSecret Word\n\n     When in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for\none People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected\nthem with another, and to assume, among the Powers of the Earth,\nthe separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of\nNature's God entitle them, a descent Respect to the Opinions of\nMankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel\nthem to the Separation.\n\n     Printed above is the first paragraph of the U.S. Declaration\nof Independence.  Select any one of the first 20 words.  Count\nthe letters and call that number n.  Move ahead n words,\nbeginning with the word after your selected word.  When you reach\nthat nth word, count its letters and move ahead as many words as\nthe new letter count.  Continue in this manner, counting letters\nand moving ahead words, until you stop on a word that's beyond\nthe fourth line.  \n\n     On what word did you stop? _________________________________

Freedom does not come without responsibility. As a citizen in a democracy you have a voice and are allowed to participate in elections. Every vote counts.Have you ever heard the saying "Evil flourishes when good men do nothing"

You are right. As a matter of fact, the preamble of the Constitution mentions "blessings". Who else gives us blessings but God?\n\n"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, 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." -The US Constitution
