In 1715, Voltaire was exiled to Tulle for mocking the regent Orleans. In 1717, he returned to Paris, only to be arrested and exiled to the Bastille for a year on charges of writing libelous poetry. Voltaire was sent to the Bastille again in 1726, for arguing with the Chevalier de Rohan (Guy Auguste de Rohan-Chabot).
Women Aren't Required to Register. Here's why: THE LAW. Selective Service law as it's written now refers specifically to male persons in stating who must register and who would be drafted. For women to be required to register with Selective Service, Congress would have to amend the law. The constitutionality of excluding women was tested in the courts. A Supreme Court decision in 1981, Rostker v. Goldberg, held that registering only men did not violate the due process clause of the Constitution.
KNOW THE FACTS. What is Selective Service Registration? Registration is the process by which the US government collects names and addresses of men age 18 through 25 to use in case a national emergency requires rapid expansion of the Armed Forces.
