Inquiry 5: "Clan of One-Breasted Women"

Like any other civil movement, Williams story demonstrates the power that we as Americans behold. As discussed before in our class, it was written in the constitution for citizens to be able to overturn the government when American's do not feel well represented. But actually initiating in that activity is easier said then done. Many people sit around and complain about things they disapprove of, but it's the people who come together and raise awareness that bring about change. The government had chosen areas of Utah as testing sights for nuclear bombs because it was more remote and uninhabited, but it was still unfair for the people that did reside in those areas to reap the consequences of the governments actions. So against their upbringing and religion, Williams and "the clan of one-breasted women" rose to the challenge of fighting for what was just. And in the end, they succeeded. When it comes to exercising our right to overturn the government, all we are taught is of the "major" movements: Black rights, Women's rights, even rights discuss by Williams. But the constitution does not limit the "significance" of what American's disapprove of, meaning it does not have to be a violation of a "major" right to be retaliated against the government, but ANY. So if significance is irrelevant what are other issues that might need to be acted against, but we feel aren't important enough to?
