Our right to dissent




1. How does the Constitution protect our right to dissent?
We have the right to protest but their are certain restricitions to that privilige. It all depends on the "time, place, and manner regulations." Our rights are protected by the 10 amendments. In this case the 1st amendment protects our right to dissent.
2. What are the limits to dissent?
"We are limited in certain expressions, creating a very complicated area of constitutional law."
3.Choose ONE of the examples on the page: Labor Movement*, Civil Rights, Suffrage, Peace**, Globalization and report on it in a blog post.

SUFFRAGE AND WOMENS LIBERATION

Women weren't allowed to go on strike or vote. They were restricted from these privileges and sent to jail if they made an attempt to brake the law. "The battle for equal rights for women has continued over the years."
"Four hundred protesters gathered on the Atlantic City boardwalk outside the convention center where the pageant was being held."
(failures) Women were thrown in jail
(successes) Women today can vote and protest !
MEANING BEHIND THE CARTOON PICTURE
Women were believed to only cook and clean and take care of the children. Not to work and protest or even vote!
