Name three historical lenses that you could apply to gain a fuller picture of the relationship between Natives and white settlers.

DISCUSSION QUESTION

Consider the following statement: “In preparing for the Cherokee removal, state and federal officials were motivated solely by desire to seize the natives’ land.” In your post, consider the following:

  • Does this statement present the full picture? Revise this statement to present a more complex explanation of the motivations that drove state and federal officials (and the white citizens of Georgia) during the years immediately preceding the Cherokee removal. Explain the choices you made in your revision.
  • Next, consider how you can take a similar approach to your own topic in order to more fully understand the historical complexity. What other viewpoints would you want to further explore in order to more fully understand your topic?

RESPONSE QUESTIONS

1. Name three historical lenses that you could apply to gain a fuller picture of the relationship between Natives and white settlers. Be sure to respond to this question in no more than one sentence, using proper grammar.

THESIS STATEMENT: Conflicts between Natives and white settlers in the early 19th century can be attributable to one overarching cause: disputes over land.

2.  Revise the thesis statement above to reflect a more complex view of the relationship between Natives and white settlers. Your revised thesis statement should be longer than one sentence.

How would you decide the case? 

In 2018, the town of Prattville erected a monument with the 10 Commandments inscribed on its face.  A private citizen donated the monument to the city, which was placed in the town square next to several bronze statues of children playing with balls and leaves. A town resident filed a preliminary injunction to have the monument removed as a violation of the prohibition of the Religious Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

Using the cases of Van Orden v. Perry, 545 U.S. 677 (2005) and McCreary County v. American Civil Liberties Union of Ky, 545 U.S. 844 (2005), decide whether the monument should be removed or not.

  • Restate the facts of the case.
  • How would you decide the case?
    • State the legal reasons for your final decision.
    • Cite specific parts of the cases that you rely upon to make your decision.
Outline major philosophical arguments of the U.S. Supreme Court in such cases as Weeks v. United States and Mapp v. Ohio.

James Smith was arrested for burglarizing his next-door neighbor’s apartment in the state of California. And without the benefit of a warrant, the neighbor, who is a friend of Mr. Smith, forced open the front door to Mr. Smith’s apartment and saw his property. The neighbor called the police, and they immediately arrested Mr. Smith for burglary and possession of stolen property out of fear that he would get rid of the property before they returned with a search warrant. Mr. Smith’s convictions in the state and federal courts were upheld, and it is now before the U.S. Supreme Court. Prepare the Court’s response to the challenge that Mr. Smith’s constitutional rights were violated.

Be sure to include the following in your opinion:

  • Identify specific examples in the language of prior decisions.
  • Examine some of the arguments used by the framers of the Constitution while debating the language of the document.
    • Include any philosophical underpinning that might influence the Court’s ruling.
    • Include any social forces that could be useful to guide the decision.
  • Outline major philosophical arguments of the U.S. Supreme Court in such cases as Weeks v. United States and Mapp v. Ohio.
  • Use specific references to support your position from the U.S. Constitution and the philosophical perspective of the U.S. Bill of Rights, which helped shape constitutional law in the United States.
Define the concept of reasonableness.

Consider the case study.

After graduating from college with a degree in nursing, Andy finds a solid job, gets married, and has two sons. Twelve years later, he moves to a position at another hospital promising him steady advancement within its managerial ranks. A devoted family man, Andy admires his wife’s dedication to raising their boys. But he also observes that his sons, approaching their teen years, benefit greatly from his fatherly friendship and counsel- especially as they approach what he and his wife realize could prove to be a difficult transitional period in their upbringing. So he has made a commitment to spend plenty of time with them, playing baseball and helping with their schoolwork. But he also loves his work, and does well at it. It has become apparent that to advance rapidly up the managerial ranks at this hospital, he should obtain a graduate degree. A nearby university offers the degree in an evening-and-weekend program that would allow him to continue full-time employment, but would soak up his free time for the next several years and throw most of the family activities into his wife’s hands.

Step 2 In your original post, address the following questions relating to the dialogue.

Assume the perspective of Andy within this scenario. In keeping with Andy’s point of view, address the following:

  • Define the concept of reasonableness.
  • Where should Andy focus his attention? Why?
  • How do you believe someone like Andy is capable of incorporating non-rational mental processes into his critical thought? How are we able to engage in this intense level of cognition?
  • What rational and emotional principles are at work in your view?

Step 3 Read and respond to two other students’ posts by Friday 11:59pm MT.

Read other students’ posts and respond to at least two of them. In addition to other comments you may have, address the following questions in your response posts:

  • Imagine you are Andy’s wife. Where do you believe Andy should focus the majority of his attention moving forward? Why?
  • How would you define the concept of reasonableness from the perspective of Andy’s wife?
  • As Andy’s wife, do you feel there are any emotional principles at work here? Are there any rational principles? If so, explain.

Use any personal experience if appropriate to help support or debate other students’ posts. If differences of opinion occur, debate the issues professionally and provide examples to support your opinions.

Cite any sources in APA format.
