Why did the US have a difficult time trying to remain neutral in the quarrel between England and France?

France aided the colonies during the Revolutionary War allowing America got gain independence from Britain. When the French Revolution happened, Britain and other monarchies in Europe were fighting France, but America needed to stay neutral to keep trade with Britain going. We wanted to support the French cause, but economically could not offend the British. It was a difficult balance to remain neutral.

∙ 7y agoFrance had been America's ally during the American Revolution against the British and Britain remained America's most important trading partner which was a relationship too important to risk.
These two factors plus the bloody French Revolution made it more difficult to stay neutral.

∙ 8y agoAssuming that this is referring to the conflicts between Napoleon's France and the United Kingdom in the early 19th century (which is the only conflict between France and the UK when the US was an independent country), the reason for US non-intervention came from two bases. First, the US was a nation that recently became independent and was a very weak nation militarily. A perfect example is how the US was the first Western nation to pay off several of the Barbary Pirate States to foreclose the possibility of piracy on the high seas since the US Navy (as opposed to British/French/Spanish Navies) was too weak to protect its merchants. Second, the US was very divided politically on which side to favor. The Federalists and Industrialists in the North favored the British since Britain remained the stronger trade partner for commercial goods. The Democratic-Republicans and Agrarians in the South favored the French since the French had assisted the US in the American Revolution and the French Revolution had espoused many of the beliefs of the American Revolution. This political dispute about who to favor led to inaction.

What is Querelle des Femmes?
The "quarrel" was, in the sixteenth century, a literary and philosophical debate -- largely among men -- about the intellectual and amorous capabilities of women. Now the "querelle" is about feminism and, although men have joined the conversation, most of the participants are women.
Where is constitutional interpretation in the constitution?
Interpretation of the Constitution resides in the fact that we must read words that other people wrote and decide what they mean: that is interpretation. Everyone interprets the Constitution. Some people refer to the role of the Supreme Court in interpreting the Constitution. This is based on the Court's role in declaring laws that they interpret as violating the Constitution to be unConstitutional. This power is not mentioned anywhere in the Constitution. It is based on the decision in the case Marbury v. Madison, written by Chief Justice John Marshall in 1803. This precedent has stood until present times. There are legislative checks on this power available to Congress. Discussion of this power is reflected in Madison's notes on the Constitutional Convention. More narrowly, those who look for a literal reading of the Constitution have some stumbling blocks to deal with. If we interpret the Constitution literally as our Founders wrote it, we must conclude that slavery is acceptable. Even if we allow amendment of the Constitution to alter our Founders' intentions (eg., by abolishing slavery), there are issues. Article I Section 8 lists the legislative powers of the Congress, and says that Congress may "raise and support armies" and "provide and maintain a navy." There is no provision for an air force, for instance. Apologists may say that these two phrases, plus technical advances, mean that the Constitution can be read to include the air force. That is interpreting the Constitution in order to adapt its principles to modern times, the very thing that literalists object to. So, because we all must read it, we all must interpret the Constitution. A closer look at the controversy between the literalists and their opponents reveals that the real quarrel is over the conclusions reached, not over the need for interpretation.

What was the reasoning of the decisions made in the court case Texas v. Johnson?
Short Case SummaryIn 1984, Gregory Johnson participated in a political rally during the Republican National Convention, which was held in Dallas that year. He and other protesters distributed literature and made speeches denouncing President Reagan's "War Chest" policies. The crowd marched through the streets and staged "die-ins" on the grounds of several corporations known to support the Reagan administration.The tour concluded in front of Dallas City Hall, where Johnson unfurled an American flag, doused it with kerosene and set it on fire while the crowd chanted, "America, the red, white, and blue, we spit on you."Johnson was subsequently arrested and convicted under a Texas law that prohibited intentionally and knowingly desecrating a state or national flag, fined $2,000, and sentenced to one year in jail.Johnson appealed his case to the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas, which reversed the lower court ruling on the grounds that Johnson could not be punished for expressive conduct protected under the First Amendment. The Court concluded that the State could not sanction flag burning in order to preserve the flag as a symbol of national unity.In a 5-4 vote, the US Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Criminal Appeals' verdict. Justice William Brennan delivered the majority opinion.Supreme Court ReasoningThe state of Texas acknowledged Johnson's flag burning constituted expressive conduct, permitting him to invoke the First Amendment. Timing the demonstration to coincide with the Republican National Convention makes it overwhelmingly apparent the burning was intended as political protest. The First Amendment protects expressive political speech ("expressive" speech is understood as an action representing an opinion, even if no words are used).Justice Brennan: "The American Flag was burned as Ronald Reagan was being renominated as President. And a more powerful statement of symbolic speech, whether you agree with it or not, couldn't have been made at that time. It's quite a just position [juxtaposition]. We had new patriotism and no patriotism."Texas' argument was that people were offended, and the police feared a riot would break out. However, the protest was peaceful. The state can prevent "imminent lawless action," but there was no reason to anticipate such was about to occur.Justice Brennan: "The Government may not prohibit the verbal or nonverbal expression of an idea merely because society finds the idea offensive or disagreeable, even where our flag is involved. Nor may a State foster its own view of the flag by prohibiting expressive conduct relating to it, since the Government may not permit designated symbols to be used to communicate a limited set of messages. Moreover, this Court will not create an exception to these principles protected by the First Amendment for the American flag alone." and"If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable . . . the constitutionally guaranteed 'freedom to be intellectually . . . diverse or even contrary,' and the 'right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order,' encompass the freedom to express publicly one's opinions about our flag, including those opinions which are defiant or contemptuous."Texas cannot limit expressive action simply because it has a patriotic interest in maintaining the flag as a symbol of nationhood and national unity.Justice Brennan: "If he had burned the flag as a means of disposing of it because it was dirty or torn, he would not have been convicted of flag desecration under this Texas law: federal law designates burning as the preferred means of disposing of a flag "when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display," 36 U.S.C. § 176(k), and Texas has no quarrel with this means of disposal. Brief for Petitioner 45. The Texas law is thus not aimed at protecting the physical integrity of the flag in all circumstances, but is designed instead to protect it only against impairments that would cause serious offense to others."Justice Brennan: " We do not consecrate the flag by punishing its desecration, for in doing so we dilute the freedom that this cherished emblem represents."Case Citation:Texas v. Johnson, 491 US 397 (1989)For more information on Texas v. Johnson and flag desecration, see Related Questions, below.
What was the concurring opinion in the Texas v. Johnson case?
Texas v. Johnson carried two dissenting opinions, one authored by Chief Justice Rehnquist (and joined my Justices White and O'Connor), and one authored by Justice Stevens.Chief Justice Rehnquist's dissent was largely an appeal to sentiment, focusing on the history and meaning of the American flag, as well as the values it represented.In addressing Johnson's behavior, Rehnquist remarked that burning the flag was not essential to the exposition of ideas, and had a tendency to incite lawlessness. He suggested burning other symbols of government, including its leaders in effigy, would have been a more appropriate expression of disapproval. He also suggested flag burning was less a form of "expressive speech" than a "grunt and a roar."The Chief Justice believed the government could legitimately create laws prohibiting flag desecration without violating First Amendment constitutional rights.Justice Stevens' dissent was largely an appeal to logic, acknowledging the flag as a symbol of "nationhood and national unity," but declaring it also had an intangible value as a symbol that sent a message about the United States not only to those who cared about the country's national unity, but also to dissidents, both at home and abroad. He believed the government's interest in preserving the the flag's symbolic value for the future was both significant and legitimate.Justice Stevens compared flag desecration to allowing people to spray graffiti on the Washington Monument, an act he was certain the government would not be challenged for prohibiting. According to Stevens, the majority was wrong in asserting the statutory prohibition of flag desecration placed any more than a trivial burden on free expression and that the law. Quoting from West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624, 642 (1943), "[the Texas statute] does not prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein." He also wrote: "The statute does not compel any conduct or any profession of respect for any idea or any symbol. Nor does the statute violate "the government's paramount obligation of neutrality in its regulation of protected communication."Justice Stevens concluded: "The ideas of liberty and equality have been an irresistible force in motivating leaders like Patrick Henry, Susan B. Anthony, and Abraham Lincoln, schoolteachers like Nathan Hale and Booker T. Washington, the Philippine Scouts who fought at Bataan, and the soldiers who scaled the bluff at Omaha Beach. If those ideas are worth fighting for -- and our history demonstrates that they are - it cannot be true that the flag that uniquely symbolizes their power is not itself worthy of protection from unnecessary desecration."Case Citation:Texas v. Johnson, 491 US 397 (1989)For more information, see Related Questions, below.
