' • • • ••*—*mmmmaiammmimmmmMiivmmt: - , . •/\_ ESSENTIAL LEGAL POINTS FOR BRIEFING THE I, INJUNCTION A, A Mississippi judge ruled on August 21st, that the injunction suit against the Freedom Party has no effect on this Convention because the Convention is the sole and final judge of who sits as its representatives. (BjThe injunction is unconstitutional as applied to the —'Freedom Party because a party which eacludes a group cannot at the same time forbid that group from affiliating with the National Party. (See footnote, #72, page 34.) II, Registered Voters A, There is no rule of the Democratic Convention that requires that the members of a delegation be regis­ tered votert, in order to be recognized, ^?% B. Those of us Jho arc not registered are kept off the rolls by vo : Lng registrars whose discriminatory practices hart been well documented. 8 out of 9 delegates ar z registered voters. III, Why Formed We formed ar.o' 1 er party and another delegation solely because we we excluded by the regular Mississippi party. Thus, e could not support the nominees of this convention. ee pp. 5-1*0 IV, The Traditiori L Party May Not Be Seated Because: A, The "tradi t Lonal" party has not met the Rules of the Democ; i :ic Party because 1, They c not pledge to put the nominees of the Conven on on the ballot "under the designation and la") '1 of the Democratic Party." a. The aws of the state provide for a primary to chc > e electors for the ballot, and this has bee 3 called off. It is now uncertain how any: le will be on. b. Th pledge at the "traditional" Convention did no". say "under tho designation and label" and wo--d be me'e by placing the nominees on as inr. spendcnts. c. Tt> • Convention waa adjourned and may withdraw the pledge it made, as in i960. » 2, They are not"bona fide Democrats who have the interests, welfare and success of the Democratic Party at heart, • ." (Both rules on p. 36) B. The delegation was unconstitutionally elected. 1, Negroes were excluded at both precinct and county meetings, 2, There was not a single Negro at the State Conven­ tion (pp.47-53). C. In "Equity" we must be seated. 1. The regular party is closed; we are open. 2. The regular party is unfaithful; we are faithful, 3. The regular party has defied the law and suppressed Negroes; wehhave followed the law and have been suppressed. Uu. 1'. V. THE MISSISSIPPI FREEDOM DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS A LEGAL DELEGATION WHICH SHOULD BE SEATED BECAUSE A, It represents over 50,000 people now and has a ppten- tial of over 500,000, white and black. B. It has complied with the laws of the State of Miss­ issippi, insofar as harassment has allowed, Including the holding of precinct meetings, county conventions, and a staee convention, and has conformed to the rules of the Convention (pp. 15-20).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT This study attempts to explain why ALL of South Korean presidents, without exception and notwithstanding their individual major contributions to the process of Korea’s development, have fallen victim to disgraceful downfalls. For the analysis, I employ S.N. Sangmpam’s middle-range theory that establishes a causal link between society-rooted politics and political outcomes. Building on his analytical frameworks that non-Western countries are characterized by over-politicization in politics as a function of social context, I argue that patterned downfalls of all Korean presidents are an institutional outcome of over-politicization in Korean politics, which is itself a function of not fully entrenched capitalist society. In support of my thesis, I test three hypotheses. Hypotheses one and two posit Korea’s tenacious traditional and cultural traits as an internal modifier of capitalism and the nation’s dependent nature of its relationships with the United States and Japan as an external factor that prevented capitalist entrenchment in Korean society.
