The Suffragettes wanted the right for women to vote. \n\nThe move for women to have the vote had really started in 1897 when Millicent Fawcett founded the National Union of Women's Suffrage. "Suffrage" means the right to vote and that is what women wanted - hence its inclusion in Fawcett's title.\n\nMillicent Fawcett believed in peaceful protest.

I'll Second that and give you a pat on the back, but i think a protest doesnt help anything, it just causes trouble for all the other people than the ones you are trying to affect in the first place anyways.

I think I know this. I'm Filipina and a teacher told us that a Fillipino invented the moon buggy. Well, you know the trouble with patents. To us Filipinos, Eduardo San Juan invented the Lunar Rover. But to the others, a different inventor was attributed.

If you want to know more about the history, you should read "Zero: Biography of a dangerous idea" by Charles Seife.  On the back cover it says "The Babylonians invented [zero], the Greeks banned it, the Hindus worshiped it and the Church used it to fend of heretics."  I've only gotten halfway through it, but so far its an interesting read.

After reading the Wikipaedia article, it certainly sounds as if some genius had a brainstorm when designing it.\nStay cool.....Be Happy.

That would have been difficult, if not impossible. First, those demonstrations were in many different cities. Second, it's against the law to use the Army for police work (because of the posse comitatus act). Most importantly, though, many of those protesting were not immigrants. Some, many, were U.S. citizens protesting on the behalf of the immigrants. They're not required to carry proof of citizenship on them. so sorting them from the illegal immigrants would have been impossible. But even if all of those other things were not true, it would have been politically disastrous to round up mass quantities of people behving in an orderly manner.

Fascinating facts about the invention\nof the Traffic Light by William L. Potts in 1920. TRAFFIC LIGHT \n \n Even during the horse and buggy days, traffic in big cities was often heavy. Police officers had to be stationed full time directing traffic at busy intersections.\n \nThe world’s first traffic light came into being before the automobile was in use, and traffic consisted only of pedestrians, buggies, and wagons.  Installed at an intersection in London in 1868, it was a revolving lantern with red and green signals.  Red meant "stop" and green meant "caution."  The lantern, illuminated by gas, was turned by means of a lever at its base so that the appropriate light faced traffic.  On January 2, 1869, this crude traffic light exploded, injuring the policeman who was operating it.  \nWith the coming of automobiles, the situation got even worse. Police Officer William L.  Potts of Detroit, Michigan, decided to do something about the problem.  What he had in mind was figuring out a way to adapt railroad signals for street use.  The railroads were already utilizing automatic controls. But railroad traffic traveled along parallel lines.  Street traffic traveled at right angles. Potts used red, amber, and green railroad lights and about thirty-seven dollars worth of wire and electrical controls to make the world’s first 4-way three color traffic light. It was installed in 1920 on the corner of Woodward and Michigan Avenues in Detroit. Within a year, Detroit had installed a total of fifteen of the new automatic lights.\nAt about the same time, Garrett Morgan of the United States realized the need to control the flow of traffic. A gifted inventor and reportedly the first African American to own an automobile in Cleveland, Ohio, he invented the electric automatic traffic light.   Though it looked more like the semaphore signals you see at train crossings today. \n\nMany others had obtained US Patents for Traffic Signals, some as early as 1918. But Morgan's Patent was purchased by General Electric Corporation and provided the concept on which GE's four-way traffic lights are based.

Isn't it ironic that the protest makes me want them to protest everyday!\n\nThis was the best traffic day in the Long Beach area. I am actually planning on going to the mall after work because it wont have as many crying babies and little brats!

Are you thinking of the writing of the Bill of Rights (1789), or are you thinking of a related story to any one of the 10 Bill of Rights?\n\nJust a suggestion- the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s used the 1st Amendment as a way to protest.  (Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott would be an example!)\n\nI don't know what you mean by patriotic, but I think the people involved in the Civil Rights Movement were certainly inspiring.

They set up sit-ins in bus stations, especially in the dining areas there.  They rode around the south to protest in different areas.  They have helped to bring down the legal and illegal barriers that prohibited from all ethnicities to be able to live completely together.
