Capital punishment

I don't support capital punishment in michigan for many reasons. My top reasons are, it is very cruel and some executions are very unusual. This is a violation of our rights, we have the right to not have cruel and unusual punishments used on us. Another reason is that the executions sometimes don't go as planned and the person being killed suffers for awhile, this is terrible because you could be in a ton. Of pain for a while, or be in severe distress. The last of my top three reasons for not supporting it is the extreme costs of exciting someone, about 2 million more than just letting them rot in jail. I don't think you should be executed under any circumstance, no matter what. If other states want to use capital punishment then that it up to them, if they do they should be able to choose any method available.

I think that the school should be able to search, or seize some of your things if they believe that there is a threat you, other students or themselves. If they have facts that there are drugs in your locker then they could search it too. They can do this because there is an immediate threat to the safety of the school and they are trying to keep everyone safe. I feel like going through airport security is a is a violation of my fourth amendment because they are extremely crazy with checking your things and taking things from us. The two times that i've flown somewhere I've had trouble going through the airport. When I went to Florida for spring break I had a Gatorade with me in my bag, they took it out and we about to throw it away. I wanted it back or at least to drink it but he said no and threw it out. When I was coming home from the Dominican I got in trouble for having a conch shell in my back pack, they said it could be used as a weapon, so it was taken.

Freedom of religion

The first amendment to me means that we should have complete freedom of religion, with no one telling us what we can or can't do. I think that the government shouldn't make the schools not mention anything religiously. The school isn't allowed to pledge allegiance to the flag now, and i think that it's dumb, and unfair that we can't pledge allegiance to our flag. It's unfair because everyone has the freedom of religion and that means that we should be able to worship however we like where ever we want to. The banning of saying prayers over the announcements is going against our freedoms. The government even has religion incorporated in it. When we swear in the president his hand is on the bible. This shows that we have many flaws in our freedom of religion, and that restricting our rights is unfair.
