Title of article: ESCONDIDO: Fewer people protesting police checkpoints
Connection to the revolutionary war
In Escondido, fewer people are protesting about licence regulations. Protestors state hat there are fewer protestors in front of police checkpoints. One of the protestors biggest complaints was a new law that says someone who isnt licensed to be able to call and tow a licensed driver. In fact, protestors say that they will no longer protest, but simply oppose the law.
How is this related to what we are learning in class? Well, just like the protestors, the colonists werent happy about all the laws and taxes that were being made by the king. So they had an protest that would eventualy leave five dead. Thats when the revelutionary war sparked. After all the wars and battles, we eventualy made a peace treaty with the British. The peace treaty is known as the Treaty of Paris. This treaty says that all future conflicts will be resolved peacfully with America and the colonies. This is related to the article because the protestors werent happy about a few laws, eventualy the goverment and the protestors came to an agreement. Just like the colonists did with British.
I see this in life alot. The goverment makes and passes a law and a group of people arent happy about it. People protest untill they get what they want. The colonists wanted Indipendance and protested and fought until they got it. Somtimes, protests can get out of control and causes injury, hatred, and even death. These protests often lead to more protests and fighting. Just like the Boston Massacre, colonists started to throw stuff at the troops and that made the troops open fire and the people.
I think that protesting is super important in forming our goverment. In fact protesting supports the, " Free consent of the people." Protesting helps the goverment relize that the goverment is, "By the people, for the people". Without protesting, then why have a great nation of freedom and rights? Without protesting, people would go mad and the whole nation would fall apart. And thats my current event for the Revelution War.
