We want to say good luck to the Lincoln and Grant high school constitution teams. They'll be competing this weekend in the annual We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution National Finals in Washington, D.C. Now in its fifth decade, the event brings together students from all 50 states for a series of mock congressional hearings on everything from the Constitutional Convention of 1787 to the separation of powers and the future of democracy. The Lincoln and Grant constitution teams, under the instruction of Patrick Magee-Jenks and Angela DiPasquale respectively, have long histories of taking home trophies on both the state and national level. Good luck to all!

Transitional justice is to address past atrocities by bridging the gap between old and new regimes during democratic transitions. It signifies the shift from conflict to peace and political reforms through peaceful means....The state-of-the-art paper proposes a departure from the traditional four-pillar transitional justice model, instead rationalizing the confluence of six pillars: truth, vetting, reparation, prosecution, guarantee of non-recurrence, and justice policies.... Justice is truthful, fair, impartial, and just behavior. It guides distributive, retributive, and restorative justice efforts in transitional justice. This paper presents the 57th series of the author’s theoretical work on transitional justice, based on the principle of “I know that I do not know” or “I am simply a student for this study,” allowing for ongoing refinement.

👩💼🦁🦁 Heyy Fam, with a huge emphasis on the Second Amendment in the last decade. It behooves us to consider the Fifth Amendment. https://lnkd.in/gZipshWW. In-depth analysis National Constitution Center There are many ways that a citizens rights and property can be removed legally. I am not arguing about the Second Amendment; it’s application or interpretation. I’m concerned with property rights because these rights are more important. Consider the unhoused situation in many American cities in particular California. The U.S. Constitution Fifth Amendment protects the owner of the property from the government, which take their property without paying them fairly. 🇺🇸The government can take private property for public use only if they give compensation, which is the fair market value of the property. 🇺🇸Only compensation guarantees that the loss of the property does not leave the owner in financial ruins 🇺🇸There are two main types of taking: direct and indirect, and the courts must decide whether the government's actions were fair or if they crossed a line. 🇺🇸Property rights are fundamentals for American democracy and respect for these rights. Thank you for reading, Blessings Bless The United States of America. Edit: Link
