What do Americans believe in?

Among all the nations of the world, the United States is unique. Americans have many different skins colors, worship many different religions, and speak many different languages. Thinking of it another way, if you or I moved to China or France, we would probably not become Chinese or French, but if someone moved from China or France to the US, they would become an American.

So, talk to your partner, and list 4 things that you think Americans believe in, and explain your answers (tell why you think that).

They believe that because not everyone in th United States speaks the same language.

- We believe in liberty which to us means that everybody has the same rights as everyone else .

- Also, some americans believe in the freedom of religion. Which means that everyone has the right to believe in whatever religion they believe in such as being catholic or christian etc...

- Another thing we believe in is the freedom to a trial . This means if for any reason you get arrested or get placed in jail you have the right to a trial with a judge.

-We also have Woman right. Meaning that in America Women have more oppurtunities than in many other places.

one thing that Americans believe in is freedom of Speech. freedom of speech is the right to express your self and or opinion. It's the right to express yourself the way you want in words. Another thing that Americans believe in is freedom. Meaning that anyone is able to be free, no one can own someone else. You are free.......unless you commit a crime, then you go to jail.

P.6 JacobT. EmmanuelV. Americans beleive in Due process which means that the government has to obey and follow the rules. Americans beleive in freedom of speech which mens that you have the freedom to say watever you want. Americans beleive in freedom of a jury trial by your peers which means 12 of random us citezens have to decide whether you r guilty or not guilty. Americans also beleive in habeus corpus which means the police has to give you a reason to arrest you or keep you in jail.

-"Freedom of Religion" means that anyone can be in any religion without being judged.

-"Freedom of Speech" is that you can have your own oppinion an not get into trouble for it.

-"Do Process" the government has to go by the law and have a good reason for sending you to jail.

There has to be a jur to decide wether or not you go to jail and it must be 9 of 10 votes

its important because people deserve to do certain thngs without having consiquences.
