federalist and anti-federalist.. 8/28/2012

I am Patrick Henry. I am 51 years of age.

I am an Anti-federalist?

I haven't had much success in my eariler history. I failed at being a planter and a storekeeper. On the other hand, after those two fall outs, i became a successful lawyer and politician! I am the one who stated "Give me liberty or give me death." in March of 1775. In 1787 I got elected as a delegate, but I refuse to serve."Who authorized them to speak the language of We the people? If the states be not the agents of this compact, it must be one great consolidated national government."

I refused to sign the constitution.

"The first thing I have at heart is American liberty; the second thing is American union."

Elbridge Gerry, and George Mason were two of the men that supported me throughout this!

What are your views of the new plan of the government?
 "the most fatal plan that could possibly be conceived to enslave a free people."

I dont think he should have gotten all his rights taken away. I know what he did was wrong, but he should still have his religous rights to pray whenever he wants.

I think  that is was religous descrimination. She had already stated that she wouldn't be wearing black pants like they were suppose to, she would be wearing a skirt. That is her belief and she shouldn't be fired or told to leave because of it. To me, that was rude of the Burger King people.

In my opinion, i don't think that anyone should've said or done anything. It is everyones personal opinion on who they like and dislike. No one should be downed for something that they didn't want to do. He didn't want to wear the yellow foam finger, what's the big deal?
