Executive Director Washington, DC Executive Director Washington, DC DRi 3033 Wilson Blvd., Ste. E-537, Arlington, VA 22201 703-294-6684 www.driconsulting.com 1 ADVOCATING PROGRESSIVE VALUES AND EQUALITY FOR HUMANISTS, ATHEISTS, AND FREETHINKERS The American Humanist Association (AHA) has stood as the voice of humanism in the United States for over 80 years. AHA strives to bring about a progressive society where being good without a god is an accepted and respected way to live life. AHA is accomplishing this through their defense of civil liberties and secular governance, by their outreach to the growing number of people without traditional religious faith, and through a continued refinement and advancement of the humanist worldview. Humanism is a nontheistic worldview with ethical values informed by scientific knowledge and driven by a desire to meet the needs of people in the here and now. At the foundation of those values is an affirmation of the dignity of every human being. AHA counts humanists and other nontheists as the core of their movement, but is always willing to work with friends and allies on issues of common concern. The positions AHA holds and the actions the organization takes are not only about humanists and humanism but for the betterment of society and the world in which we live. THE MISSION The mission of the American Humanist Association is to advance humanism. Advocating for equality for nontheists and a society guided by reason, empathy, and our growing knowledge of the world, the AHA promotes a worldview that encourages individuals to live informed and meaningful lives that aspire to the greater good.

The AHA accomplishes this through their defense of civil liberties and secular governance, by outreach to the growing number of people without religious belief or preference, and through a continued refinement and advancement of the humanist worldview. Defending Nontheists and Promoting Humanism: In a society where prejudice and discrimination against those who don’t believe in gods or other intervening supernatural powers is common, it is important for advocates to defend their equal rights. Religion and Government Separation: A secular, open, and pluralistic society where government does not ascribe to one worldview over another is a right to which every American is entitled, as guaranteed in the US Constitution. Social Justice: Humanists are naturally committed to social justice as a prerequisite to peace and happiness for the greatest number of people and see it as a moral failing to stand by while others are denied their civil and human rights. Humanistic social justice advocacy involves respect for the equality of all people, compassion for their dignity and welfare, and a conviction that positive change requires human intervention. Scientific Integrity: The AHA considers the integrity of scientific knowledge, where information is assigned a degree of certainty according to the weight of the evidence, to be essential to a humanist society. Promoting Peace: The AHA believes that cultural exchange, cooperation, peaceful conflict resolution, and diplomacy through multilateral institutions, such as the United Nations, are the most appropriate ways to respect human rights and make the world a safer place for all of its inhabitants. Accordingly, the United States should abide by and help enforce international law and push other countries to strengthen the rule of law in their own societies. Furthermore, peace — not war — and respect for international law are the best forces in international and national policy to positively impact humanity.

  • Unjust Law As a Justification for Civil Disobedience
    Mgbakoigba: Journal of African Studies, Volume 4, 2015. UNJUST LAW AS A JUSTIFICATION FOR CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE Arinze Agbanusi Department of Philosophy Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka. Introduction Laws are bodies of rules for human conduct. They are meant to guide human actions, indicating those that are permitted or accepted and those that are prohibited, which performance attracts one form of punishment or the other. Laws are supposed to guide the behavior of citizens of a nation. A nation without laws is like a vehicle without wheels. Without laws people cannot live peacefully together as there will be the problem of reconciling conflicting human rights. As Thomas Hobbes pointed out in his theory of the state, when man was alone, there was no need for laws. The need for laws was necessitated by the increase in human population, to help reconcile naturally conflicting rights of different individuals. It is therefore expected that citizens should obey laws, to avoid an anarchical state where jungle justice (the principle of survival of the fittest) operates. According to Hobbes, the commonwealth was formed because men had a foresight of their own preservation, and thus had to find a way of averting that miserable condition of war and strife which are natural consequences of ever conflicting human rights. For John Locke, the main aim of forming the commonwealth (government) is the preservation of the „Property‟ of Citizens. Since the commonwealth and laws were created for the noble sake of the preservation of life and property, through the avoidance of war and uncertainties; it behooves on all citizens to obey the laws of the state or nation.

  • Montesquieu, Methodological Pluralism and Comparative Constitutional Law 481
    Montesquieu, Methodological Pluralism and Comparative Constitutional Law 481 Montesquieu, Methodological Pluralism and Comparative Constitutional Law Lorenzo Zucca* Montesquieu’s lessons for modern comparative constitutional law – The Spirit of the Laws – The textual bias of normative constitutionalism – The utility of other disci- plines to comparative constitutional law – Constitutions as more than mere texts Introduction Modern comparative constitutional law begins in Esfahan, the old capital of Iran, in a majestic seraglio, where some of the most beautiful women are held captive. Uzbek, an Iranian prince, set out for a trip to Europe. He travels to Qom, the holy city, then to Tabriz. He stops for a while in Turkey and embarks in Smyrna on the way to Livorno. Then he quickly arrives in Paris, the centre of modern Europe. From there, Uzbek and Rica, a close friend, report back on European laws, habits and culture from the perspective of two Persian observers. There are two impor- tant, albeit conflicting, insights in Montesquieu’s Persian Letters. First, we can im- prove the understanding of our society by adopting an external viewpoint. In this case, Montesquieu wears the clothes of two Persian visitors, Uzbek and Rica. Through this fiction, he can critically report on a number of interesting aspects of contemporary France. Montesquieu stresses a second point: self-understanding through comparison is limited, as we always tend to excuse our own habits more than we criticise them. Uzbek, for example, sees many weaknesses in the French political and cultural system, but tends to justify his position of slave owner and incarcerator of women back home.

  • The Political Life of Edmund Burke
    INTRODUCTION 1 Empire and Revolution Th is is a book about the vicissitudes of empire and revolution as confronted by one of the leading political intellects of the eighteenth century. Th e confrontation was complicated in a number of distinct ways. In the fi rst place the term “revolution” had a range of meanings. At its simplest it could denominate a change in the system of government. Yet it could also cover resistance to an established political order lead- ing to the creation of a new regime. Finally it could refer to the subversion of govern- ment along with the various liberties it was supposed to protect. Over the course of his life, Edmund Burke defended revolution in the fi rst two senses although he ardently set himself against the third. But while he supported the rights of legitimate rebellion, he also consistently upheld the authority of empire. However, the picture here was again a complex one. Burke cherished the rights of British imperial sover- eignty, yet he vehemently opposed the standing policies of the Empire. Underlying this apparent ambivalence was a commitment to the rights of conquest accompanied by a repudiation of the “spirit of conquest.” Th is referred to the attitude of usur- pation that Burke believed had characterised European governments in the gothic past. Although governments of the kind had their origins in expropriation, they had gradually accommodated the “spirit of liberty.” Nonetheless, modern liberty for Burke was a precarious achievement. It was capable of relapsing into the spirit of domination, not least in its interactions with the extra- European world.

  • First Amendment Protection of Homosexual (Expressive) Conduct
    FROM HAND-HOLDING TO SODOMY: FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTION OF HOMOSEXUAL (EXPRESSIVE) CONDUCT David Cole William N. Eskridge, Jr.* Navy Lieutenant Richard Dirk Selland found himself "in a situation resembling that of a sparrow caught in a badminton game."' As a closeted gay man in 1992, Selland was disturbed by shipmate kidding that he was probably a "homosexual." The taunts escalated when the Democrats' presidential nominee, Bill Clinton, promised to end the military's exclu- sion of lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals. Selland's internal turmoil im- pelled him to seek counseling from the ship's chaplain. On the day after Clinton's inauguration as President, the chaplain and Selland met with the ship's commanding officer, and Selland admitted that he was "homosex- ual" in orientation. Under the military policy then in effect, Selland was unfit to serve: the policy held that homosexuality was incompatible with military service, and flatly forbade homosexuals from serving in the mili- tary. Selland's commander immediately removed him from his position.2 Soon thereafter, however, President Clinton announced his intention to end the policy justifying such separations. The President's announcement triggered a political firestorm. What emerged from the firestorm was a policy of "don't ask, don't tell "' 3 Under this policy, military recruits and personnel will not be asked about their sexual orientation. In theory, gay men, lesbians, and bisexuals may serve in the military so long as they do not engage in homosexual conduct.4 The change came on the heels of several judicial decisions questioning the constitutionality of the previous *Both professors are at Georgetown University Law Center.

The level and form of female participation in the events of the Revolution varied among social classes. Female participation during the Revolution led to an overwhelming fear of women demanding and practicing democratic rights in both a nonviolent manner (petitioning for education, demanding voting rights, serving on committees), and in a violent manner (engaging in armed protest and violent striking). The terror surrounding female democratic participation was manifested in the fear of the female citizen, or citoyenne.
