The land had been inhabited by Native Americans for several thousand years. The Algonquian, Iroquoian, Siouan all resided along the Central Atlantic coast. After the discovery of the New World, England, the Dutch Republic, France, Portugal, and Spain all attempted to establish New World colonies. A Spanish exploration party had come to the lower Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia about 1560 and met the Native Americans living on the Virginia Peninsula.

  • Cannabis Prohibition and Substantive Due Process
    RE-THINKING LIBERTY: CANNABIS PROHIBITION AND SUBSTANTIVE DUE PROCESS By Matthew J Routh* I. INTRODUCTION What is Liberty? The venerated word appears in the famous Declaration of Independence as an inalienable right.' Likewise, liberty appears in the langua e of the 14'h Amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified on July 9 , 1868 and forbids states from denying any person "life, liberty or property, without due process of law." 2 However, the Constitution never explicitly defines the word. John Stuart Mill, the influential 19 h century British philosopher, economist, and feminist conceives of liberty in his political essay On Liberty as essentially rooted in personal autonomy, balanced against the government's interest of protecting society at large: That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised * Matthew is a 2016 graduate of CUNY School of Law. While attending CUNY, Matthew participated in an interdisciplinary array of experiences spanning family, youth, LGBT+, HIV/AIDS, criminal, civil, housing, immigration, and public assistance legal issues. Moreover, Matthew participated in CUNY's Family Law Practice Clinic, where he assisted parents in child welfare cases and also participated in a summer legal fellowship at Yale Law School representing children. Currently, Matthew is awaiting admission to become a licensed attorney in New York and working as a law clerk at Anderson, Bowman & Zalewski PLLC in Kew Gardens, Queens. Lastly, Matthew would like to thank the faculty and staff of CUNY Law as well as his colleagues and family for all of their support. 1. THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE para. 2 (U.S. 1776) ("We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.").

  • Articles Pray for Peace but Fight Your Insect Enemies: U.S. Postal
    Articles Pray for Peace but Fight Your Insect Enemies: U.S. Postal Messaging and Cold War Propaganda Laura Goldblatt and Richard Handler Abstract In this essay, we examine “slogan cancels”—postal messages used to deface or “kill” a stamp—produced and disseminated on U.S. mail during the early Cold War. Slogan cancels, like postage stamps, afford spaces the state, through its postal service, can use to send messages to a mass public. While stamps cele- brate national identity, slogans instruct citizens how to behave. In the Cold War, such instructions often concerned impending disasters and the ultimate threat of nuclear annihilation. Since the juxtaposition of slogans and stamps occurs ran- domly, it is not surprising that among the artifacts emergent from the process— the envelopes arriving in the mail—can be found some in which the slogan’s mes- sage is not consonant with, and even contradicts, that of the stamp. Despite the Post Office’s functional efficiency, the artifacts delivered by the system emerge bearing messages that are in some respects random. This mechanically produced randomness is a literal embodiment of the ideological content of the slogans (“Pray for Peace”), which testify to an apparently powerful state’s concerns about its own lack of agency in a dangerous world. Keywords: agency; Cold War; postal cancelations; propaganda; U.S. postage stamps Introduction [Defense attorney]: I’d like to submit the following facts in evidence. It con- cerns the Post Office Department, an official agency of the United States government. […] The Post Office Department is one of the largest business concerns in the world.
