CONGRESS

"The House is supposed to be more democratic because since they represent smaller districts they are supposed to be more accountable to the people who represent those districts."


According to the passage the House of Representative represent the people and laws that that pertain to improve their well-being.  Having a representative for your state to better understand the struggle and everyday hardship and to get some type of aid and resources to make everyday situation more accessible.










My understanding of the sentence is that without the House of Representative most people voices and needs would be unheard which is one of the most important factor.  As a citizen you would like progress not only for yourself but also for your family and love one. You would also like someone that represent what your surrounding and country  needs in order for its progression.

EQUAL RIGHTS

"The idea of social rights then speaks to the idea that everyone is entitled as he says "to a certain standard of civilization" meaning that people are entitled to the things necessary for a healthy and productive life."

Marshall interruption of this paragraph is that as a citizen your entitle to live in a comfortable environment without the constant denial of what can make your existence comfortable and productive.

My understanding that as a citizen one should be entitle of certain level of education, voting and proper health car.  That no one should be denied any three because of his or her race, gender, education, health status and ethnicity.  Many years the black citizen have fought to abolish slavery, segregation in the public transportation and the right to vote. I felt it was criminal and unjust.   

Citizenship and Social Class

Citizenship and Social Class

Marshall

 

"Citizenship is a status bestowed on those who are full members of a community.  All who possess he status are equal with respect to the rights and duties with which the status is endowed. There is no universal principle that determine what those rights and duties shall be, but societies in which citizenship is a developing institution create an image of an ideal citizenship against which achievement can be measured and towards which aspiration can be directed."

 

 

According to Marshall, during the early impact of citizenship and social class that as a citizen u have equal right and that society is the influence in whether your productive and resourceful.

 

In my opinion I agree to a certain extent that as  citizen we do have tremendous rights that make us as a people more freely and comfortable but at the same time with social inequalities it makes it a little harder for certain culture or group to achieve or attain their goals.
