Role of an attorney general 

Defending the rights and interests of the American people is the responsibility of a constitutional attorney general. This is the general counsel for the federal government. It is the attorney general’s obligation to protect the basic rights of every citizen. It is their role to defend the Constitution, to defend the civil rights of every American.

The attorney general’s obligations to defend the Constitution and to defend the civil rights of every American have remained consistent throughout the history of our country. The first attorney general was Richard Henry Lee. He defended the liberties of the colonists against the crown and the charges brought against him. This same attorney general defended the rights of John Adams and his fellow deputies in his office to hold office and to provide legal assistance.

Shortly after the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson proposed an amendment that would protect the rights of the newly established republic. His amendment, known as the Bill of Rights, is now contained in the First Amendment to the Constitution.

In 1797, President Adams appointed a new attorney general. Jefferson had recommended Samuel McIntire, but Adams chose General Thomas Pennington, who was considered too conservative to protect the civil rights of the nation. But Adams put in his place, George Clinton, a politically astute attorney general who promised to defend the civil rights of every citizen.

General Clinton quickly interpreted the Civil Rights Act of 1857 and ruled that it was unconstitutional. His ruling was overturned by a federal court and in so doing, strengthened the independence of the federal judiciary.

President James Buchanan appointed another politically ambitious attorney general in 1857. He too ruled against civil rights.

President Andrew Johnson appointed Attorney General Charles Hamilton to enforce the civil rights act during Reconstruction. Again, his ruling was overturned by the court.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt appointed a new attorney general in 1940. This time, the president went with another politically ambitious man, the general. He was elevated to the high rank of general in the Union army. As a young soldier, he earned respect for winning a battle during the American Civil War. As a young man, he gained experience in the United States attorney’s office and then was promoted to attorney general of the territory of Washington. During World War II, he fought as a brigadier general in the Army Air Corps and later as a general in the Army, earning respect for his bravery.

His tenure as attorney general lasted from 1940 to 1945. While in office, he fought to protect the civil rights of all Americans. He continued the administration’s vigorous enforcement of the civil rights acts.

In 1945, President Truman appointed another politically ambitious man as attorney general. He too ruled against the civil rights of all Americans. But Truman chose him for his promise to defend the civil rights of all Americans and the many promises the president had made to the civil rights organizations.

General Eisenhower’s administration placed another politically ambitious attorney general in office in 1950. General Eisenhower had won the war and was awarded a gold star medal in 1950 for his military service. In 1952, President Truman appointed Truman’s childhood friend and classmate as attorney general. Dwight D. Eisenhower accepted the appointment. His administration placed another politically ambitious attorney general in office in 1950.

His tenure was brief and he failed to provide the leadership required to keep the civil rights of all Americans protected. He resigned soon after the general counsel, Robert Kennedy, refused to provide a general opinion in his office that was contrary to Kennedy’s official opinion. The general counsel’s refusal to provide an opinion established Kennedy as an attorney general who would defend civil rights.

President John F. Kennedy chose another politically ambitious man as his attorney general in 1962. The choice of his successor was political in itself. JFK and the other supporters of his brother in the Kennedy White House believed that another attorney general would give the civil rights movement political support and not undermine the political standing of his brother. The attorney general’s position in the executive branch is a political position.

Lamar Marshall was elevated to the highest legal position in the United States in 1963. His term as attorney general lasted until 1966. In 1966, President Johnson nominated another politically ambitious man, Robert F. Kennedy, to the same position.

But during that period, the civil rights groups rejected many executive positions as politically connected. In 1965, President Johnson placed a political official, General Clark, in the federal judiciary. This move demonstrated that the civil rights movement’s confidence in the authority of the presidency was waning and that they sought a stronger political hand in Congress to defend the civil rights of all Americans.

Although they believed they would be successful in voting legislation through Congress, civil rights groups rejected the nomination of their general counsels to hold executive positions in President Johnson’s administration. But in August 1964, President Johnson appointed general counsels to two of his cabinet departments. This move gave the civil rights movement hope that their general counsels would be appointed to other government positions.

Johnson placed a political attorney general in the attorney general’s office of the general counsel in the Department of Labor in 1964. That position is a political position.

In March 1964, President Johnson placed a politically ambitious attorney general in the position of the general counsel of the Department of Justice. The attorney general’s position in the executive branch is a political position. The general counsel’s position in the executive branch is a political position. That position is an attorney general’s position.
