Resolutions Homework

1.     "States" is defined as a politically organized body of people usually occupying a definite territory; especially one that is sovereign. "Ought not" means a moral obligation to not do something, saying "ought not" implies a specific reason not to do something. Weapons of mass destruction that are powered by nuclear reaction. 2.  Because nuclear bombs are immoral, unethical, and illogical, and because they do not uphold peace or the common good, I affirm the resolution Resolved: States ought not possess nuclear weapons.

3. The acceptance of compulsory jurisdiction serve to limit the scope of the resolution.

4. States are the actors and the actions include not allowing the US to have any nuclear weapons.

5. To affirm the resolution means that you don't think the US states should have nuclear weapons. To negate the resolution means that you think it is okay that the US states have nuclear weapons avaliable to use.

1. Democracy- Government by the governed. Within this I must state that felons are part of "the governed".
 Felon- Someone who commits a felony; A Felony is a level of crime that is higher in comparison than a forfeiture or a misdemeanor. Repeated crimes can rise to the level of felony offenses, such as repeated DUI's
 Ought- Used to indicate advisability or prudence.
 Retain- To keep or hold in a particular place, condition, or position.
 The right to vote- a formal expression of preference for a candidate for office or for a proposed resolution of an issue.

2. I must negate the following resolution resolved: In a democratic society felons ought to retain the right to vote for a few reasons. First off, when you kill a man, you steal a life. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to yours and their fairness. There is no act more wretched than stealing. Where when dealing with a democratic society which strives for justice by means of considering its consequences that you do negate the resolution resolved.

3. What limits the scope of the resolution is the Constitution and other rights that they are given.

4. The democratic society and the felons are the actors and the action of the resolution is to not let the felons vote.

5.To affirm the resolution means that you agree that the felons in a democratic society should have the right to vote. To negate the resolution says that you don't think the felons should have the right to vote.

1.Military Conscription: A general term for involuntary labor demanded by some established authority. It is most often used in the specific sense of government policies that require citizens (often just males) to serve in the armed forces. It is known by various names — for example, the most recent conscription program in the United States was known colloquially as 'the draft'.

2. I believe that military conscription is unjust in many ways, but mostly because it contradicts the beliefs and principles set down by our founding fathers.

3. The government limits on the individual's right and the resolution itself.

4. The actor is the military itself and the actions say that the military won't be demanded by the established authority.

5. To affirm this means that you believe it isright for them to be demanded by the established authority. To negate it means that you don't believe it is right for them to be demanded by the established authority.
