    "writing for Wikipedia is making a contribution, not being an author" (128) - remember... good articles in Wikipedia need many contributions from many different perspectives - in a way, it's more like presenting pieces of a draft of work at a conference or in a Tweet

  • The way to get good government is through the parties; that is one reason women must choose their party and enter into the organization of the party of their choice.
  • The United States is both a Democracy and a Republic. A Democracy is a government by the people in which the will of the people prevails throughout the country. "This is the fundamental principle of American government." A Republic is a democracy where the people elect representatives to carry on the government.
  • Constitution is the foundation upon which our government is built
  • There are now forty-eight states in the United States with forty-eight constitutions framed upon the Federal Constitution. Each state has its own constitution, which in no way conflicts with the Federal Constitution.
  • first Constitution of Kentucky was adopted April 3, 1792, at a convention that met in Danville, and later on June 1st, 1792, Kentucky was admitted into the union as a state.
  • An amendment to the Kentucky Constitution requires a three-fifths vote of the members in both houses of the legislature to pass, and then it is submitted by the General Assembly to the voters of the State, which requires a majority of the voters to be adopted.
  • There are now eighteen amendments to the Federal Constitution. The nineteenth amendment on "Suffrage" is still pending, needing only one more state to give universal suffrage to women.

  • To be an intelligent and desirable citizen we must have a knowledge of our Constitution, and know by whom and how our country is governed. The man or woman who does not possess some knowledge of how the country is governed—as has been said—may easily become a prey of persons who are anxious to advance their own interests at the expense of the people.

      A prevailing problem.
  • There are four ways which we, as citizens, can help maintain our government: [Pg 59]"First: Vote at every election, read and be interested in public affairs. "Second: Help to manage public affairs and be ready to hold an office, if you are the choice of the people. "Third: Try to understand public questions, so you can vote intelligently and criticize justly. "Fourth: Remember to pay your share of the expense of doing the work."
  • The voting place is the leveling place, and when women realize that the exercise of suffrage gives not only the equal right to vote, but also allows equal expression of opinion, then the better purpose of woman suffrage will have been accomplished.
  • Only white persons and negroes may become naturalized. "Chinese, Japanese and East Indians cannot become citizens unless born in the United States." Unmarried women can become citizens like the men. A married woman is a citizen if her husband is a citizen. She cannot become naturalized by herself. A woman born in the United States who marries an alien ceases to be an American citizen and becomes a subject of the country to which her husband belongs. The wife of a man not a citizen of the United States cannot vote in this country.

      As a citizen it is important to practice your political rights. Voting allows you to be an active citizen and to get your point across.

  • Another reason is that the right to vote is not only a privilege but a duty that is imposed by law, and where one is entitled to exercise that privilege, the failure to so exercise it is a failure to perform a duty on the part of the voter.

    This manual by Cromwell is not only free and open, but useful in many ways when studying or researching citizenship. Cromwell lists points in her work that cover all aspects of how to be a good citizen. She does this by referencing our constitution and laws and how we should follow them.

'Rosa Parks'

shared by robert michael on 01 Dec 10 - Cached
  • robert michael on 01 Dec 10
     
    This article on Rosa Parks was conducted in 1996, many years after her role in the civil rights movement. She talks about her role in the movement and the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955. She also reflects on the changes in our country since that period in time. Mrs. Parks still believes that many things are still in need of change to become the great country that the United States could one day be. She says that more young children need to be exposed to what the civil rights movement was like. I chose to write about this article because Mrs. Parks had such a big influence in the civil rights movement and started the Montgomery bus boycott. December first is also the 55th anniversary of when Mrs. Parks refused to get out of her seat and started a revolution of organized resistance in the civil rights movement. What she did led to many other things such as, sit-ins, marches, and her action opened the civil rights movement up for more people to be a part of it. My opinion of this article is that it shows that there was more to the story of Rosa Parks than just a tired woman not willing to give up her seat on a bus. I found this article educational and inspiring, and it also shed a new light on the civil rights movement for me.

'Diane Nash'

    This article on Diane Nash was written about Nash receiving the Freedom Award from the National Civil Rights Museum. Nash became the leader of the movement in Nashville and helped organize the sit-ins in Nashville. She was a part of SNCC, SCLC, and the freedom rides. Doctor King even said that Nashville had the best nonviolent movement in the nation. The museum president Beverly Robertson said that women were usually the wives of leaders, but Nash was a leader by herself. I chose to write about this article because Nash was such an influential person in the civil rights movement and helped to open new doors up to many people. She also served as an inspiration for other women that were involved in the movement. Through her hard work and many of her actions during the civil rights movement I believe that Nash was very deserving of this award that was presented to her.
